8 IS GREAT!

8 WEEKS OLD!

Eight weeks has brought all kinds of good news. The babies have slept through the night multiple times now and if they do get up, it's just once and then we all go right back to sleep for some much needed, much missed sleep. The whole family slept in until 10 am on Saturday!

Eight weeks brought new outfits. I'm now able to fit them into the clothes marked 0-3 month with out drowning them. No more newborn!

And the biggest news yet....

Lexi has moved up to the 1-2 size diapers!! Jack isn't too far behind, in fact, it might be sooner than later since he's wet through 3 sets of clothes in the last 24 hours. So proud of our little beanpoles.

BLESSINGS

We blessed the twins on Sunday June 6. I'm just now getting around to the post...(sorry Grandma's). It was such a great day. Everybody from Tylers family and all but one person (you know who you are :0)...I'll forgive you...) from my family was able to come. Tyler gave each child their own personal blessing and of course I cried through both of them. Thank you to all who came to support us and be with us on this day. Thanks Aunt Peggy for the gorgeous white blankets that were a perfect compliment to the day. Thanks to all who helped with holding and feeding and loving us all.

BATH TIME GONE WRONG...

Our babies love the bath but what mom and dad do after is a different story. This is after Lexi saw what we'd done with her hair.

Jack just didn't have words to describe his horror at his afro.

1 MONTH OLD

These days...

Why can't this baby suck a binky? She can suck down a bottle in .3 seconds. This was the story of Lexi's life for about a month. She could not keep that stinkin' thing in her mouth to save her life. She sticks her tongue on the roof of her mouth and juts her jaw out and out pops the binky with it. She'd get so frustrated and my hand got tired just holding it in place so that she could sooth herself for a couple minutes. We switched to the "Nuk" brand thinking it would be more compatible with the high palate shape in her mouth. We practiced everyday with that thing and slowly she got better at keeping it in her mouth by herself. Then the other day I was desperate for a binky and couldn't find the Nuk so I stuck Jack's in there. What do you know, she can suck that Purple thing like there's no tomorrow. Now she's a happy camper! This has been Jack's life-line from the beginning. All night long the squeek, squeek of a baby going to town on that thing. Even when it's not in his mouth, he still does the sucking motion with his tongue. So cute!! I know it's almost the size of his head but he's growing everyday.

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!

Jack the Smack Victor in the left corner lays a left jab to Lexi -

Lazy Eye Lexi gets him back with an elbow to the chest.

Hilarious! This is what happens when you try to take pictures of sleeping babies that get in each others way. I was laughing the whole time. I can't begin to describe the joy and love we have for these babies. So much fun - and it's only begun!

GETTING CUTER EVERY DAY!

Yes, did you have to ask, my blog will now be dedicated to my children and how cute we think they are. One week old today!
