7 weeks old!!

When I started this blog Ella and Eli were 7 weeks old, now they will be 8 weeks old this coming Friday...where does the time go??

Our lil twinnies are starting to smile and stay awake for longer periods of time. I just love their sweet little smiles.

Last week Eli slept for a nine hour period- it was really nice, but he hasn't done it since. They both eat/sleep for a period of 4-6 hours, mostly the 4! We are truly blessed to have such good babies!

Tomorrow, May 27th, Lilly is going to be 3!! It is so hard to believe that she has been a part of our life for 3 years! She, too, is a true blessing. I am not going to say angel though- she is definitely a busy bee...she keeps us hopping and listening. She TALKS all the time, and tries to make sense of everything we say or things around her. Yesterday we walked to the park with Jill, Bryce, JayLee (cousins), and Jeff (uncle) and Lilly was the slowest thing ever! She was being so observant and talking to Jeff about everything, she would stop to pick a dandelion so she could blow and make a wish! She loved the attention that Jeff was giving her.

Well...I will post 3rd birthday pictures soon!

1 Month Old!

Can you believe that Ella and Eli are already a month old? Time flies when you are having fun! Chris and I are so excited that they both slept for a five hour stretch last night, not that it will happen tonight, but you never know!

We have been trying to enjoy the nice weather. We went to the park as a family of five and Lilly thought it was so funny that "the baby twins were going to the park"- she was so excited to "show them everything at the lion park". While we were at the park we had a nice little picnic.

Ella and Eli are growing, they are both starting to move their head around a lot, they try to focus in on faces and respond to our voices, especially Lilly's!

Eli has the biggest eyes, and when he is awake he tries to look all over the place. He loves to turn his head toward the lights in the living room.

Ella loves being held, especially while lying on the chest, she has also been smiling (I don't think it is gas either!). She is still a lil peanut but she moves around a lot!

We have tried putting them in the swing and bouncy chair and they LOVE them both!

This past week Jamie was here everyday helping out, which was GREAT, we miss her already. She also spent the night a couple nights. Ella became her little buddy!
