I'm big too!

Our Isabel said she wanted her picture doing push ups too...looking for her favorite toy. She is getting strong, but tummy time is not her favorite time of day - we caught her at a good moment!!!

Luke's hair

Thought this was a great picture of Luke and worth posting, since his peach fuzz shows up so well. It is white! Just like Josh's was at this age his Mom says. Yesterday was a big day for Luke - he rolled over twice from his tummy to his back, then Josh got this great shot of him holding up his head. He will hold his head up forever if he knows Josh is watching him. It's so fun to watch babies do new things! What a priviledge it is. Changing 10 diapers a day and feeding 2 babies at least 8 times a day, while giving enough hold time and stimulating them is all worth it when you see that smile and those moments! Then watching an episode of John and kate plus 8, and realizing my job is a breeze!!! Enjoy these photos.

They became arm in arm after a couple minutes of flaling their arms and legs in excitement over their friends!

Buddies

I wanted to share a neat thing that happened today with the twins. I could tell they were both very tired, so I tried everything to get them to sleep, but they just wouldnt go. So I decided to hold them up close together and lay them on my chest. I find that it relaxes them and calms their fussiness every time. So, when they finally fell asleep I just held them close, and we all three fell asleep. I woke up and looked down and they were holding all four hands together. It might have been a fluke, but it was the coolest thing. I just was overwhelmed with emotions seeing twenty little fingers woven together with such tight grips to one another. I hope they will always be close. It was definately a twin moment...one very special part of being a mother of twins is seeing these moments day to day. I always wish someone were there with me to witness it.

Orange Beach

Parenthood is all about making mistakes and learning from them right? Well we ventured to the beach this weekend! What a learning experience. Not doing that again for a very long time. It's funny how things sound like such a great idea - until you actually do it and it's not fun! Oh well...one day we know Luke and Isabel will love the beach. We'll just wait a year to find out!

The twins love their new playgym...can't you tell?

All they wanted to do was look at me dancing. It's so true that babies much prefer the human face! So sweet.

ENjoying the afternoon sun

Mom and Dad came over for the day this week to help with the twins...the best time to be in the backyard is very early when the sun comes up and late in the day when it's setting. I have a feeling this might be a popular spot for us.
Thanks Ruth and Steve for all your help last weekend to make our house more a home :)

Recent pictures and cousins!

The babies are asleep so i'll try to post as many new pictures as i can. I am quickly learning to do everything rabbit speed instead of snail speed these days. Anyways..the babies are doing great! They are growing - Luke wears 3 month clothes, Isabel still some newborn and 0-3 month. Isabel is starting to smile a lot, and Luke is hungry all the time! They seem very happy in our new home, as are we. Here's our first family photo and some from when Kristen, Clay, Ava, and Olivia came. It was really fun having all the cousins together for the first time. Not easy taking a picture of 5 kids under the age of 6!!

We ventured out yesterday, and the twins are very popular around town already, and i must say i enjoy showing them off!
