Crazy busy!

I will get to you, Blog, I will!

1 month gone

Its hard to believe my little monkey's are already 1 month old. The last month has been a blur of nursing, diapers, and sweet sweet snuggles. Yesterday we went in for their 1 month appointment. Peanut is weighing 7lbs 8 oz and Butter is weighing 8lbs oz. They both are 21 1/2 inches. Dr. Werner says that they are in the 25th percentile, which is great for twins. He also said that they both look great, which was a relief for mommy and daddy.

One of the most amazing parts of having the twins is watching them interact with each other and watching their older brother interact with them.

All snuggled up

So far the boys have been sleeping in our room. We have a twin pack and play that has a special bassinet on top for twins. At first we were putting the boys in their own bassinet, but the last couple of weeks they have been sharing one and sleeping all cuddled up together. It seems to work out really well for them.

Love

So far the boys have been relatively good babies. They sleep fairly well at night (as well as can be expected for 2 one month olds), they have taken very well to nursing. We have given them a couple of bottles filled with breast milk so that they can start getting used to them for when I am not around and they both took the bottles like champs and both still easily latched on the breast again at their next feeding (http://www.kellymom.com/ -- great breast feeding resource!). We are blessed, they are both healthy, they do not have colic, and they are just the sweetest little guys in the universe.

Monday, of course, marked their first Halloween. We had so much fun dressing our three guys up as little super hero's.

Doodle is such a great big brother and has really adjusted well. He gives them each the sweetest little kisses and hugs each day before he goes to day care. Last Saturday as we all sat together in my room I overheard him saying "We are all together, Mommy and Daddy and Keith and Brother and other Brother!!!". I cannot wait to watch them all grow together.
