More Family Fun!

This week more of our family came to visit and we had such a good time. Jackson and Alex met their Aunts and Uncles from Chicago and Florida. They met Uncle Joe and Aunt Cathy, and Uncle Dave and Aunt Cathy. Not only did we get to see them in Huntington, they (Cathy and Dave) have a time share in Escondido, and we got to go visit them there too!

The boys have enjoyed their time with all of their family and friends and hope that the visits continue frequently. We miss being close to everyone, now more then ever.

Milestones:

Smiling all of the time!

Grabbing the rings in front of them on the tummy time mat-they aren't always accurate, but they go for it!

I swear that Alex will crawl tomorrow....he loves to scoot everywhere on his belly and picks his head up SOOOOO high. He moves around his playmat, pushes his upper body up with his arms and moves his back legs.

Jackson loves the ceiling. He looks at it with wonder (what the heck is up there??) . I sing the Lionel Ritchie song "Dancing on the Ceiling" but change the words to "Oh what a feeling, as were staring at the ceiling!" He studies everything and everyone!

That's it for now....

Love to all!

Family FUN!

This last week many family members have come to visit us. It was a fun filled time, with many laughs!

The boys love their Grandpa's and Grandma's, Aunts and Uncles, cousins, and good friends that have visited over the course of the last 6 weeks. I have some pics of family visits. Please don't be offended if you didn't make the cut on pics, I only have so much room. I picked randomly, using the tried and true "close your eyes and point". :)

The boys are 6 weeks old already and we can't believe it. They have been so good!

A few fun facts-

-They are 10 pounds now...little meatloafs!

-Alex likes the big green pacifiers that they give you in the hospital, and Jackson likes the much smaller Advent ones.

- They look around all the time, checking out their surroundings. It is so cute, except at 4 am when after they have been fed they decide to look at any light that is coming out of anywhere in the room, thus prolonging going back to bed. I had to turn off every light and sit in the dark, but they still found light to look at- moonlight coming in from the front doors.

- Alex loves to sleep on his boppy pillow, Jackson prefers to be in people's arms. He isn't picky either. Any ol' stranger will do. They both HAVE to sleep in their cribs at night, NO exception so it is a little bit sticky at times. Some whining when put down, but it goes away pretty quickly.

- They both smile when they are falling asleep. They smile these huge bright smiles and I wonder what they are thinking about. It is too cute.

That's it for now. If I think of more, I will write them in the next post.

One month OLD already!

This week marked Jackson and Alex's one month birthday! We can't believe how fast this month went by and how great these boys still are. They are such good babies and they rarely give us trouble. We were blessed!

This weekend Grandma and Grandpa B are coming in to town with Aunt Jeanne, Uncle Jim, Grace, and Jack. Aunt Julie, Miles and Lucas are coming in to town too! The only thing that is a HUGE bummer, is that Aunt Jessica, Uncle Tim, Dylan and Kyle can't be here too. Hopefully we will see them soon!

Also, in two weeks there will be a visit from my Aunt Cathy, Uncle Dave, Aunt Cathy C and Uncle Joe. They have a time share in Escondido CA and will be vacationing here. We are looking forward to having the boys spend time with their families!

The pics posted above are Jackson and Alex in playtime. Jackson decided to pull his brother's arm over towards him, and put Alex's hand in his mouth. Alex was a trooper, he let it happen and didn't complain. They stayed this way for about 5 minutes. It was a riot to see. It seems like they are already practicing their wrestling skills with each other. 

The other pics are Grandma with Alex, and the boys in their summer hats. These hats are 0-3 months, yet I don't think even a 2 year old could fit into these hats. They are HUGE. Jackson looks like the croc hunter in his and Alex just swims in the hat. It's fun to play with them and dress them up for the fun of it!

Hope all is well, and more blog soon.
