Long time...no post

I feel like it has been forever since my last post...we have been so busy! We left Friday for another weekend trip to the lake & had a wonderful time. Michael & I met up with Mary & Josh for a day at the horse races on Saturday. It was my first time & it was so much fun! I guess I had beginner's luck because I walked away with a couple of hundred dollars more than what I came with!! It was great! The babies stayed at the condo with MeMe, Sweet Pa, & their great-grandmother. The way it sounded they had just as much fun as we did babysitting their sweet grandbabies!!! Thanks again guys! 

Tonight, is the first night we are putting the babies in their cribs to sleep. I will update tomorrow on how it goes tonight!!

Way Back When-nesday

I took this picture yesterday before the babies bath & it brought back memories when they first wore these pajamas! I thought this would be a great 'way back when-nesday' post! They kind of look alike in this photo, don't they???

Our Strong Girl

For a while now Hadley has been able to stand up on her own. Of course, she can't balance but she will hold on to our fingers & she will stiffen up & hold her entire body up...it's crazy!! Here she is this morning on the couch before her bath standing & squating!! I could just eat her up!!

I could just eat this sweet chubby thing up too....

Thank you!

Thank you for your encouraging words on our upcoming transition from the Pack-n-Play to the crib and on the paci worries! I really enjoyed reading everyone's stories & views on our situation. We haven't tried putting them in their cribs just yet because of their colds. As soon as they are sounding better, we are taking the plunge!!! They are still sleeping in their bouncy seats which is still going great with their congestion. Cooper is sounding better, but still snotty when we lay him down. Hadley is still very congested but got this cold a couple of days after Cooper, so hopefully we will see some improvement in the next day or so!! Be watching for updates on our transition soon!!!

My sister's family & my sister-in-law & niece have been at Devil's Den for a couple of days for Spring Break. My parents, the twins, & I went up for the day today and had such a great time! I love that place...it is gorgeous! I will have to get the pics from my sister when she gets home to share with you guys!!

A Great Night of Sleep

After very short naps yesterday, both babies were extremely tired & cranky yesterday! We had a comment on our blog yesterday from the Sharum's and we decided to let them sleep in their bouncy seats so that they would stay elevated. Wow, what a difference that made! They were asleep at 8:00 pm and slept until 9:00 am with two feedings in between...much better than the previous night!! We are about to attempt to move them to their own cribs at night and I am really dreading it! Since birth they have slept next to our bed in a Pack-n-Play, but this past week or so have really been waking each other up. The paci issue is what is the big problem. When they are next to the bed, I can just reach over & stick it back in their mouths, but in their own room it is going to be a whole new story! It is Cooper mainly, but he sucks that thing so hard that it pops out of his mouth all the time. For the first hour or so after we put him down, everytime that paci pops out of his mouth he crys. Once he gets to sleep, he either doesn't suck so hard or is okay with it not in his mouth. I try not to give it to him when I put him down to avoid the issue, but he usually fusses for it shortly after lying down. If anyone would like to share stories or advice about transitioning your baby or babies to their crib or issues with their pacis, please share! I could use any advice you would like to give!!!

Family time

My brother's wife, Becky & my niece, Annie Kate came in town for Spring Break today. They hadn't seen the babies since they were two weeks old...they couldn't believe how they had grown!!

Two Snotty Babies!!

Now we have two snotty babies! Nothing more than congestion, but this is no fun! Both babies are having a hard time sleeping...Coop even threw up at nap time today because of all the drainage, but we are going to make it! I know things could be alot worse!!!
