First Nap in the Nursery!

I attempted to "move them into the nursery" today for just a nap . . . it worked for just about an hour (thank goodness to Kylie's lullaby tunes she gave me) . . . have advice? Let me know! Yes- they still share a crib so we can keep one in our room for emergencies. And Carter has been "scared of the dark" or something lately so they will probably sleep overnight there for a little longer. It's cute cause by the end of the night - even in swaddles - they have scooted to be close to one another.
Here is the other side of the nursery- painted the sports murals in my last week of pregnancy. I hope they like them! And as you can see, Travis has already bought them their first bat and ball.

Sweet Maizy, wants to be included in every moment!
It's bath time! But can you tell who this is? Take the poll!

In the last poll Tyler was on the left, Carter on the right. Congrats to all who got it right!
Here's a 2 1/2 month picture . . . aren't they adorable ad HUGE?! Tyler again is on the left, Carter on the right . . . You can somewhat see in the picture that they may have gotten their Popi and Grandma's eyes- yes they are still very blue!! Travis and I have our doubts though cause we both have hazel- but maybe they will stay? We'll see!

2 Months Old!

You hear there is nothing like it . . . the love for your child. And then you experience it. The day they were born, I didn't think I could love ANYTHING more. But everyday I love THEM more. I don't know how it's possible. . . everything about it is so overwhelming. The way they cuddle with you, smile, and just move their little hands . . . I feel like my heart could just burst.






The boys turned two months old this past week - celebrating all the milestones . . .Once again they gained a pound in the last week weighing 12 pounds 6 ounces at their 2mo. appointment (yes the EXACT same) . . . and now they are in the 75% for weight! Such a shock since they started much below average. They are just getting huge! They had their first vaccines which were traumatic but later this week began sleeping 6+ hours at night which is a blessing (to say the least!).



Some days they look very different to me- When people see them they always ask me if I think I have switched them- but truly- they can look so different at times. And then others they are identical! Just the little characteristics they have in common. From the way they sleep, to the creases in their ears and wrinkles in their foreheads. Even more uncanny (and perhaps TOO much info) - they only "dirty" (if you know what I mean) their diapers every 2 or so days and they will do it 5 minutes within each other. So thank goodness one has always scratched his face or something (in these pictures it's Tyler).










We catch them holding hands- it's incredibly sweet.








This is Carter . . .












I love how he tilts his head back to smile so big!











This is Tyler- he is such a character!










This picture doesn't look too much like him but they both come with a cute story. While I was feeding Carter on the couch one day, I had Tyler plopped on the other end. I grabbed the camera and was holding it out in front of him and he just started looking right into it and beaming . . it was hysterical-not looking at me-just into the camera and posing.

Weigh in!

The boys just got weighed yesterday- They both still weigh the exact SAME- down to the ounce. . . . Now they are 11 1/2 pounds . . . yes- in the last five weeks they have gained a pound a week!

In the Pic: Tyler is on the left - Carter on the right





Do you know what that means? This will soon be impossible- I can still hold both of them at the same time- but just barely!










Here we are at the Reser wedding. The boys slept through the entire service- Boy did we get lucky! It was our first time back to the Grotto since Travis and I got married- and to think, this time we had twins in tow. Something we never would have imagined!























Next up . . . Fourth of July at the beach! The annual event was fun as ever with over 40 people! Zan and Janna came down for the weekend and it was the boys' first time to the coast. . . . but we didn't quite make it down to the water- we'll save that for next time.








Popi with Carter. . .

















About once or twice a week we head over to Gigi and Popi's house - they have air conditioning!

Gigi loves giving her grandsons a bath. . . . they LOVE the water and just smile throughout it. You can tell Maizy is still confused by this all- She loves to just follow us around no matter what we are doing.

Pictures I Love . . .

I can't seem to get enough . . .

First off- Travis with the little guys. He just lights up when he gets home from work- it makes me realize how blessed I am to be able to spend all day with them. I love my house full of boys.












Here's Carter. He smiles and laughs so much. He's always been very good at tracking- but especially now. He seems so observant, even recognizing Popi's voice immediately the other day.









This is Tyler. His faces are to die for- from stretching to even sleeping- everything comes with a dramatic expression. This is him just being cute . . . he cracks me up.
