Mullet

Today I read an article about flat head syndrome so of course I immediately put the babies on their tummies...something I have not been doing enough of! At first they thought it was fun and then there was a little screaming involved. It wore both of them out and they took a nice 20 minute power nap before our stroll.
I took several pictures of Mahlon showing off how strong he is and I wanted you to see his mullet! Instead of business in the front--party in the back, he is almost bald in the front, bald circle in the back and mullet underneath...he also has Elvis sideburns! He is still the cutest baby! And Sara Beth can almost have a pony tail!
I forgot to fill you in on the weight update. We had our RSV vaccine last Thursday. Mahlon was 13lbs 12 oz and Sara Beth was 12lbs 15 oz. That was a week ago so I am sure they are 14 and 13 by now. And Mahlon is 24 inches long! He has grown 4 1/2 inches! Sweet Little Princess is as round as she is tall! But she is beautiful.
We are having fun. There little smiles and coos will melt your heart!

Tamale Chef

This weekend was our Tamale making weekend...Wesley loves making tamales, but needs a little assistance. We made 70 tamales!! Sara Beth decided she wanted to help too...so I strapped her on and she was as happy as she could be!

visitors

This picture is a little fuzzy because I was shooting through the window...We had a few visitors over the weekend. They played in our backyard and ate a few leaves from our new trees and moved on to the next house. I am not hunter and just don't see how you could shoot something so sweet. I do enjoy the deer meat from my brother-in-law!

Guess what we found!

This week Mahlon found his thumb all by himself! He has been trying for a while, but usually ends up with multiple fingers or a fist in his mouth. He is learning to self-soothe...Little Princess Sara Beth is a long way from that!

We made it to church on Sunday with Gran and Daddy Day. It was a little chilly outside so Mahlon got to wear his new sweater and they both had on their precious shoes from the Stones. We had a little photo shoot after lunch to show off clothes that finally fit. We are growing soooo quickly, does someone know if there is a pause button for babies??

Happy Belated Birthday Daddy Day!

Great-Great Uncle Teet, Gran and Daddy Day were all at our house for dinner Saturday. Wesley made a Mexican Fiesta for Daddy Day's belated birthday celebration. He has become quite the chef! I don't think I have cooked a meal since July thanks to all of our sweet friends, Cheri and Wesley! (yes Sara Beth is spitting up in the picture with her grandparents!)

Baby Shower

Today Jennifer had a baby shower...Ollie will be here in December! Doesn't Jennifer look too cute...you can barely tell she is pregnant! It was a lot of fun seeing so many friends from college and sharing babies stories...boy have we all grown up!

Look how big we are!

So we were curious to see how tall Mahlon was compared to Sara Beth...he is 2 inches taller!He is long and lean and bless her heart...Doc calls her Rolley Polley. Mahlon is 24 inches long and Sara Beth is 22 inches. We think they are around 13- 13 1/2 pounds. We have shots on Tuesday so we'll have a weight for sure then.

Aunt Lani was home (in Soso) for the Birthday party too! We put her to work feeding, burping, changing poopy diapers and bathing 2 babies!! She is now pooped too!! Maybe she'll get some rest this weekend.

Happy Birthday Doc!

Today Doc turned 61! Cheri cooked a wonderful birthday dinner and then we opened gifts...Mahlon and Sara Beth were pooped. They were already in PJ's by the time the party started. Doc opened his singing b'day card...we picked this especially for him. It sang Old MacDonald had a farm...except when we sing it to Mahlon and Sara Beth we sing Old Doc Jefcoat had a farm...this is one of their favorite songs! Cheri bought this singing bear for Sara Beth and Mahlon and they laugh and coo when it sings to them. Their little personalities are starting to come out. They are too sweet and growing up sooooo fast!
