Nursery

Sunday was our first trip to the church nursery. Sara Beth had fun in the bumbo with her friend Meena and Mahlon jumped in the bouncer and entertained everyone. They missed their nap so they were pooped and crashed on the way home. I had to post sweet Mahlon in his frog outfit.

Strawberry Park

It was such a nice day today we decided to take the babies to the park. Wesley and I had a picnic (the babies had already eaten their sweet potatoes before we left.) Then we went for a stroll on the track. The babies love to swing...especially Sara Beth. She grinned from ear to ear! It was a great first trip to the park!

We went to visit our friends the Thomsen's this week. The babies talked and played with Bob and Sarah. Sara Beth even got in a power nap in Bob's lap. Looks like Bob and Sarah had fun too!

We are so lucky to have Wesley working from his home office. AnnaBelle really likes it. I took these pictures on Thursday afternoon. Wesley's hand is on his computer's mouse and AnnaBelle is just along for the ride!

6 month check-up

This is what happens when you take 2 babies to the doctor.









Yesterday was our 6 month check-up. Dr. Storey was so proud of our gianormous babies! She stood Mahlon up on the table and said she has never looked a 6 month old baby in the eyes before...he is 28 1/2 inches tall (97th percentile) and weighs
19 1/2 pounds (75th percentile). Sara Beth is a little shorter, but still average at 26 inches (50%)and 17 1/2 pounds (75%). She was very impressed with their cognitive skills(how well they make eye contact, giggling, and smiling) We had to get our shots and the flu vaccine, but the babies did so good! Very little crying this time! We are so blessed to have such sweet, healthy and smart babies.

Big boy!

Mahlon 6 weeks old...


Mahlon 6 months old!


I think he has out grown his swing. He definitely takes after his daddy! His daddy's advice...get used to having your feet hang off the edge of things!

Today we had a busy day. We tried sweet potatoes for the first time and had lots of tummy time on the mat, sat in our bumbo seats to help our posture, went for a walk in the cold wind (that didn't last long)and Sara Beth sat up and stayed balanced for about 3 minutes...until she discovered her toes and then she took a nose dive! She is getting so strong!

Veggie of the week

Today Wesley and I experimented with our first baby food...sweet potatoes...it was too easy. More people should make their own baby food! And the babies loved it! These are few pictures of the yummy mess they made. They really didn't waste much. And then they took 1 1/2 hour nap!! We love sweet potatoes at our house!

Super Bowl

No big party for us...we stayed at home and the babies watched football with their daddy. Just think, last superbowl they were the size of a pea in my belly! Boy have they grown.











They are really in to each other now. I showed you pics of Mahlon sucking his toes and then a few days later Sara Beth found her toes...now Sara Beth is sucking Mahlon's toes!

6 months old!

These pics are from Friday night. The babies had their 1/2 birthday! (6 months old) Doc and Cheri took us all out to eat at P.F. Changs. I couldn't get anyone to smile for the camera. Sara Beth slept through dinner (she is tucked in between Doc and Wesley) and Mahlon kept me and Cheri entertained!
What a wonderful 6 months it has been! Yes twins are hard, but we couldn't imagine just having 1 boy or 1 girl. They are such little blessings. I can't believe they are 6 months old! Time flys when you are having fun (or was it just lack of sleep!)
Happy 6 months Mahlon and Sara Beth!
