Kohlden - 11lbs 8.5oz (50%),Height 5%, Head 10% - our chunker, holding it all in the gut.
Madelyn - 10lbs 5.5oz (50%), Height 55%, Head 30% - definitely our tall one...for now.
Well, we were officially on our own this week. No overnight house guests for an entire week. We started getting into a routine. 8pm the twins go to bed (one in our room in the pack n play and the other in the bouncer in the guest room - both with static noise machine and separate so they don't wake each other up), 8:30 Braelyn goes down, and then mommy and daddy have a few peace and quiet hours to sit down for a bit and catch up on shows, laundry, dishes, bills, etc. We then wake them up to feed again between 11p-12a (formula this time - thanks Kimberly for the suggestion. Its been lasting longer), then Allen heads off to the nursery for some peaceful sleep while I have both of them in our room - with them waking up to feed from about 4:30-5:30a. Then Allen takes Braelyn to school at 7a and the twins are usually awaking, eating and falling back asleep around 7:30-9:30. One day we did the sleeping, eating, sleeping thing all morning and next thing I know its noon. It was good catching up on some sleep. They are still crying quite a bit. But..when held, they seem to be fine for the most part. So, probably not colic...just jealousy of the other one. They are starting to notice when you walk past them without picking them up and especially when you pick up the other baby instead of them....they cry louder. I wish I had 4 arms. Eventually they will be able to keep their passy's in.
Saturday we ended up trekking it out to cradle roll on our own. All the kids needed holding at some point during the program. Luckily the babies slept through most of it.
Saturday evening we had Stacy, Adam and Annette (who already made their way back from moving to Tennessee. Guess they missed us too much), and Jared, Marlissa, and Isabella over for roll your own sushi night. We even had the tempura batter going. It was a great treat...once we got the twins down.
Sunday was Father's Day so Allen and Braelyn had a date. They went to go see Toy Story 3. Although Braelyn thought she was going to Blockbuster when we said she was going to a movie. She enjoyed the first half, especially the popcorn. But...even though its G rated and with talking toys, it was a little too realistic and her sentimental side came out - she was scared for the toys that were in trouble and was crying out for Mommy for the last half of the movie. But Daddy enjoyed the show.
On Monday Braelyn started in her new classroom - advanced preschool. It's in a different building so she calls it a new school. She likes her new teacher, Miss Linda. When asked what she looked like, she replied "A grandma". Her best buddy Landon is in her class too, but Grace ended up going to the room next door - however they do have outdoor play together so she likes that. I dropped her off at school on Thursday and she didn't want me to leave. It was so cute that even Landon was trying everything he could think of to cheer her up - bringing her toys to look at, books, etc. It didn't work. Finally I had to hand her off to the teacher and skedaddle out of there. I haven't taken her to school in awhile so she wasn't used to it.
Tuesday we had our 2 month check up for the twins. They are doing great. See the stats above. They had a whole bunch of shots so were not very happy campers the rest of the afternoon - although they did have a good nap.
We had to move the straps in the car seats...getting bigger...
It has been really hot here and even at 7 pm when trying to take a walk, it's still 90 degrees. So much for all that exercise I need to be doing.
Braelyn has decided she wants to be a baby at times and gets in the stroller, and this time got in the pack n play with Madelyn. I'm glad she's only 30 lbs.
However, she also wants to be like mommy and help feed...
They are loving to pull hair now.
