What We've Been Up To

Braxton came back from New Jersey Friday night! It was so good to see him. We missed him so much! It was hard for him to be away from us, especially the girls. They had just really started smiling before he left, so he was dying to get home to see more of it!

The girls had their two month checkup this past week. I can't believe they are already two months old! It has flown by! Anyway, their appointment went well. They are both totally healthy! Caroline weighed 9 lbs., 14 oz and Avery weighed 10 lbs., 8 oz. Don't forget Avery was the smaller baby when they were born! She has a very healthy appetite! She will suck down a bottle in a heartbeat. Caroline likes to take her time and enjoy hers! They had to get three shots each. They handled it really well while it was happening, but they were really fussy the rest of the afternoon and evening. They both wanted to be held and pretty much slept all day. If we moved at all, they would scream. I felt so bad for them. Thankfully, my parents were there to help me!

Here is Caroline sucking her thumb. She doesn't do this consistently. She will stick any number and configuration of fingers into her mouth if they get anywhere near her mouth. She sucks very loudly! It is the cutest thing to me!!

Caroline smiling! Both girls have been smiling like crazy!! I will post pictures of Avery smiling on my next post. Her pictures are on my phone and I am not sure of how to get them on the computer.

Here the girls are "playing" with Drew (my best friend Mary's baby). They were born a week apart. I made Drew's outfit!





Caroline and Avery holding hands. They were napping together and I went over to check on them and this is what I found. Absolutely precious!!!


Avery and Caroline spooning. They love to cuddle with each other! You may notice in our pictures that Avery always has the yellow and green paci and Caroline has the pink and purple paci. We do this to try to minimize the swapping of germs. I know it is inevitable, but hopefully it helps some!
