Boops latest stats!

We kindly refer to our twins as "The Boops". What in the world you say?? Here is the story: We bought Parker some boy/girl baby dolls when we found out the twins genders. He played with them all the time and called them his "Boops" which I assume is baby. He can now say baby but we still call them "Boops" and he still does the same. If he sees a baby in public or a picture he will say baby. Well enough rambling about that.

The twins had their 8 week well visit today and they are doing very well. Mason weighed in at 9.5lbs and 22 inches, 25% for everything. Audrey weighed in a 8lbs 10oz and 21.5 inches, 10% for weight and about 25% for height. They drink about 4oz every 3-4 hours. They are pretty much growing out of their newborn attire and moving into 3 months. Sleeping could be better but I can't complain. They fall asleep around 8ish then we wake them around 10-11pm for a "midnight snack" then they sleep until 3-4am, and finally up for the day at 7am-ish. Mason smiles all the time and Audrey does sometimes, too. They did great with their shots, only cried during the actual shot. I can't believe they are 8 weeks old.



Big boy bed

We really wanted to transition Parker into a big boy bed before the twins were born. We bought him this really nice twin bed and mattress that "matched" the cribs for the twins. After all of our hard work he wanted no part of the bed. We gave up with the twins birth quickly approaching and the fact that keeping him in the crib was just easier on us. We went to a friend's birthday party a few weeks ago and saw that he had a super cool fire truck bed. Daddy and Mommy went on the CL hunt to find something for our little man. We couldn't decide between a fire truck, a yellow VW bug, or a Thomas the Train. We found a family selling both a Thomas and a fire truck, so we decided to buy both and let him pick. Daddy tried to get him to pick at the home of the CL seller but he acted too shy.

Parker decided on the fire truck. On Saturday, October 9th we did our normal bedtime routine (well a little later than normal because our friend, Avery, came over to play) I shut the door, placed a gate (in case of an escape) in the doorway, grabbed the video monitor, and ran downstairs. I never heard a peep and he was fast asleep. I thought for sure it was fluke. He actually slept all night without a peep. The next day it was naptime, once again I was worried he would escape and not sleep. Slept 3 hours!!!! Night #2 was a breeze too. Could this be too good to be true????

Squeeeeeeee!

The twins had their newborn shoot with Jennifer Mauren when they were almost 3 weeks old. I can hardly contain my excitement about these pictures. I could stare at the slideshow all day. I hope you enjoy it just a fraction of how much I do. I guess I have officially turned into one of "those" Moms. Ugh!!??? I guess I am okay with that.
