One week old today!!




Happy 1 Week Birthday to Jackson and Alex!!!

This week has been the best week of our lives. They are so much fun to have around the house and provided Jason and I a ton of laughs. Just this week, a bunch of new firsts happened. 
- First car ride- They didn't even know they were in the car. They slept the whole way. 
- First days home- They really settled into a every three hour feeding routine and sleep regularly.
-First time in their new cribs/ various pieces of baby gear- They readily sleep in pretty much whatever we put them in. We have them napping in their pack and play during the day downstairs with us. Once in a while they fall asleep in their bouncers which is great. We have some tricks we save up our sleeves for fussiness, and we have only had to pull out the heavy artillery one time. Our heaviest weapon is the swing, and they have only had to use it once to calm down. It is our when all else fails trick.
-First (sponge) bath- HATED IT!! They cried like we were killing them the whole time. It was so crazy. 

Now, us parents have had our fair share of firsts this week. 
- Getting Peed on or pooped on during changing them. Dad has gotten this admittedly more then mom, but I got peed on during both of their baths.
- First smiles, facial expressions etc.- They change so much on a daily basis that it has been the best to watch their little personalities emerge more and more.

I am committed to keeping up this blog every other day and will continue to post pics in this location. I will let you know when I have updated, and that way the redundancy of getting pics via email and this source is eliminated. 

We hope all is well, and hope you all understand if we haven't exactly been in constant touch. Life is a bit crazy right now, and the day just gets away from us before we know it. We love you all!!

Great updates! So fun to hear others share some of the same fun we had. Carson sounds almost identical (hated the bath, loved the swing, slept like a champ)! Can't wait for the boys to get together. Keep the pics and updates coming!
