Where has the time gone?

Well, the babies are now a month old. Can you believe that? And, after two weeks of "Mimi" (Chris' mom) visiting, we are now flying solo! So far, it is going well, but we are sure missing all the help! Mimi was fantastic at helping with cooking, cleaning, and baby wrangling. She held our babies constantly and they loved her for it! Thank you so much, mom, for everything, ESPECIALLY taking the babies out into the living room every morning by 6 am for their feeding, so that Penny and I could sleep until 8 or 9 am. What an unbelievable luxury! That's Mimi's hand above (with the fancy manicure!), displaying a tiny hand. So cute and already getting so much bigger everyday!

Look at Jordan! What a big boy that he is already figuring out thumb sucking! He is our fussy and gassy boy. But, when he sleeps or is quiet and alert, he is just a little angel and we could gaze upon him all day long! Oooh, don't you just want to eat him up?

We are lucky enough to have Auntie Sylvia and Auntie Kelly right next door to us. They come over loads for their "baby fix" and they help us out a lot with holding and feeding. Last night, Kelly even helped with baths and baby massage! Thanks, Kell! Check out Jordan above with Sylvia's hat on. So funny! We could not let the moment pass without snapping a pic!
I know what you're thinking...Is that a day care center? Nope, it's just out living room! Here's Auntie Kelly saying an up close and personal hello to one of the babies. I think it is Taylor. This post has lots of pics of Jordan. I gotta get some new good ones of Taylor up here soon, too!

Here is a picture that I present for your amusement. Mimi liked to put these foot and wrist rattles on the babies. While they were way too big and kept falling off, they certainly provided some entertainment for us. Not sure whether the babies even noticed them!

That's about it from here for now. We have to upload some more recent pictures from the digital camera. At the babies' doctor's appointment two weeks ago, Jordan was up to 9 lbs 1 ounce, and Taylor was 6 lbs, 14 ounces. They are both getting so much bigger already! They are awake more and definitely more alert. They love to look at themselves in the mirror. And they are getting stronger and trying to hold their heads up for longer and longer periods of time. They also seem to recognize our voices and they love to look into our faces. Before ya know it, they will be smiling, and not just from the gas!

Thanks for keeping up with us. Leave a comment and let us know you stopped by!
