11 Weeks vs. 3 Weeks

Sometimes with babies it is hard to tell how much they have changed or grown unless you look back at old pics. These pictures are 8 weeks apart. Top one is this past Monday when you turned 11 weeks old, and the bottom one is when you are 3 weeks old on 12-28-2009

You guys are at Daycare right now finishing up your 2nd "test day." I dropped you off at 10 am and ran a ton of errands. Here is what I did...there is no way I could do all this lugging you guys around in car seats..

1. went to MOA; returned shoes at DSW

2. Bought 3 pairs of work pants at Lerner

3. Went to Kohls and bought new work shoes

4. Went to Chipotle and had lunch and wrote out bills

5. Got pedicure

6. Went to walgreens and got my perscription

7. Went to lunds and bought Milk, Lunch Meat, and Apple Crisp.

8. Came home and took Leni for a walk, and now here I am and it is 2:10 :)

Big Week

This week is a big week. You turn 11 weeks on Monday, Tuesday is a test run at daycare, Thursday is also a test run at daycare, and Saturday night you get to be watched by Gma Pam, Auntie Karrie, and Auntie Jen. You will also have lots of visitors on Saturday..Uncle Chris, Auntie TT, Autnie Missy, and Uncle Jason. Mom also goes to work next Monday, too. Good luck at daycare Kiddos!

Before/After

Before

After

This weekend was Mamm'a first night out! Dad took the Twins up to Richmond, MN to stay overnight with Grandma and Grandpa Mergen. They were good little babies, and Charlie smiled a lot for Gma Nellie. I was sure happy to have my babies, husband, and dog back home on Sunday though :)

Sing It Charlie Jeffery!

Although you may not really be singing here little boy, I think of a blues singer when I look at these. You weren't too pleased with Mom and Dad taking these pics but they turned out pretty cute I think.

Here Comes The Sun

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right

I am not sure if the Beatles will be as well known when you are older but I will teach you about them. Above are the lyrics to one of there "hits" It is the story of our winter little darling....

Double Digits

Today you guys are 10 weeks old. Already into the double digits. Yesterday when I was sitting on the couch I did some calculations. With you being 70 days old..we have changed roughly 1120 diapers for you already.... and fed you about the same number of bottles.

Charlie has learned how to pray...

You are getting so big and starting to really smile. I am just waiting for you to start Coooing at me one of these days.

All Smiles

Happy Valentines Day!

We love you daddy!! PS, we have ones that say "I Heart Mommy", too.

More Snow.....turns us into a crabby "Bear"

Not a huge fan but he got used to it...

My little bear..

This has been one snowy winter, and Charlie got to go outside in it lastnight!

Pretty Girl!!

I love it when mom says... "HI PRETTY GIRL"....

I also love sitting with my Daddy on Sunday Mornings cuz I know he doesn't have to go to work! Mom had fun doing my hair too.

2 Month Check Up

These are not fun stickers on their legs...they are band aids from SHOTS

This past Thursday on Feb. 4th we had the Twins 2 month check up. Adam worked a half a day and we both took them to the Dr. at 1pm. Charlie weighs 10lbs 10 oz, and Lilly weighs 9lbs 13 oz. The Dr. is very happy with their growth and assured us we are doing everything right, so that made me feel good.

They did have to get 4 shots and 1 oral vaccination though :( Adam held their hands down while the lab tech gave them each 4 shots. 2 in each leg. They didn't cry as hard as I thought but they did cry. The last shot was the worst, I guess it stings when it goes in. Once they were done with the shots, I held them and calmed them down. I thought I would maybe cry with them, but I didn't :)

Al Bundy

Hats off to being 2 months old!

Happy 2 month birthday today, kids. Lilly you almost have the "Hang Loose" sign down in this picture. Charlie....sorry you were so mad during this photo shoot. Both of these hats were bought for you by Gma Pam before you guys were even born. She bought them at a cute little boutique in Rochester called "Tangerine."
