9 months old! :)

Its been far too long since ive posted an update on the little turkies!! :) They are doing incredibly well - almost 9 months old (in 2 days!!)

Evie babbles ALOT - mama, dada, baba, lala, lollie, ooma, nana, etc... she plays VERY well by herself or with Jackson. She will sit in front of a full toy box and take each one uot piece by piece, play fo a few minutes then toss it aside and get another toy LOL She's a very sweet, loving, affectionate baby! She is a very HAPPY baby too! If she's crying, theres a reason! Her personality is just so fun and shes just a fantastic little muffin!!!

Jackson is doing so well too! He crawls everywhere - this boy is a roamer! He is alllll over the place. He is so funny too - he makes the cutest faces :) He is a fun baby, he likes to snuggle and give kisses and love. He has a very good personality and is also well tempered!!

I have tons of new pics to share, new ones and some from the past few months as well. So get ready for major PICTURE OVERLOAD LOL

Our "Day in the Life" - June 22, 2007

I took pics throughout the day so friends and family can get an idea of what a typical day is like for us! Hope you enjoy looking at our album as much as we did making it! My big girls and i are going to have the pics printed and put them in a photo album. We are going to try to do one every 6 months or so, what a fun way to make memories!!

DITL 6/22/07

almost 7 months!

the babies 7 month mark is closing in quickly, i just cant believe it! 7 months old! wow! it feels like time is just flying by, except our difficult days, then it drags! caring for 2 infants is far from easy but it has gotten better. tim works pretty long hours so 6 days a week its just me and my crew of 4. my big girls like to help sometimes and thats good :) they are both very good big sisters!! they ask to chang the babies diapers at least once a day and they both really like to hold the babies and play with them. im very lucky to have big girls who like to help. i dont make them cause im the mama kwim? but when they want to help i always let them ;)

i have lots of new pics to share! evie's big girl hair is starting to grow back in. its very light, but i think in the end her hair will be alot like mikayla's. jackson's hair is getting thicker and is so beautiful! he has such incredible features!

well, im typing 1 handed now so heres some new pics :)

i love this pic of evie. this is her bunny, her lovey object. she fell asleep talking to it the other day ;)


tonight jackson fell asleep and dh laid him down. he looked like such a beautiful angel sleeping, i had to take a pic. that was 2 1/2 hours ago and hes just now going back to sleep afteri woke him up with the flash lol


we went to the park the other day and the babies were awake so i put them in a swing! they liked it!

6 months old!!

i know i havent updated in a long time

the twins had their 6 month checkup 5/22! both are the same measurements. they are always very close, but everything was exact, the nurse checked twice because she thought she made a mistake somewhere lol

14 lbs 15 oz
24 3/4 inches long
41.6 cm head

they are doing very well developmentally. the ped was surprised how 'un-preemie like' they are! rolling, talking/babbling, sitting with just needing a little support, grabbing for everything in site, standing supporting their weight just holdng my fingers. they are both doing really really well :) the only thing they dont do is transfer objects from 1 hand to the other.

it was a nice appt and they are officially able to quit the preemie formula and move on to regular baby formula! i am guessing their growth may slow a little because it wont be as many calories, but they are caught up pretty much in size so thats not a concern.

anyway just had to share :) im so proud of these 2 - they are such troopers!!

i have lots of pics to share, just need to upload them!

5 months old!

well, evie & jackson are officially 5 months old now. doesnt seem real. i just cant believe it! Heres some more pics :)

4 month "what they're doin" update

I posted on a twin board about what my twinkies are doing these days and thought HEY! I need to stick that on their blog!

So... heres a list of what my kiddos are doing these days. Im SURE i left off alot of stuff.

At exactly 4 months both were 11 lbs 11 oz, 22 1/2 in long (they were 30 weekers, 3 1/2 lbs each at birth)

*both coo, babble *alot*, giggle, smile

*both try hard to sit up when in a cradle position.

*both can sit unsupported for about 3 seconds lol

*both can lift their upper body when on their tummies

*both make "awa" "ewa" "guh" "gah" "aga" sounds. earlier evie mimicked dh by saying "ello"

*both are trying to mimick the lala sound

*both will roll from tummy to back if we lay them down just right, BUT its not something they are doing on purpose yet kwim?

*Evie can sleep 7 hours at a time at night, Jackson has gone 6 or so. Jackson isnt consistent yet tho.

*They are really starting to take notice of one another now and its so sweet i love watching them watching each other!

*Jackson has started babbling to the tv lol yesterday i had evie feeding her and Jackson was in the swing. i turned on noggin and the wonder pets (i think thats the name of the show) was on and Jackson cooed and babbled while they sang about teamwork

yes, theres more!

more pics, kind of on a frenzy today i guess!

BTW Evie has started mimicking words... Tim was saying hello and i SWEAR she said "ello". We both heard it! Tim keeps asking me "you heard it too, right?" to make sure he wasnt the only one LOL We make brilliant children, what can I say ;)

in the pictures below the babes were sitting on the couch and Jackson was mesmerized by whatever was on his Daddy's 42 in plasma HDTV lol. Like Father, Like Son :)
