Growth Spurts


I am amazed at the amount of eating these girls are doing lately!! They are growing so well, and I don't even realize how well until I look back at pictures and see how "grown up" their little faces are becoming and how chubby their little hands are getting! To think of how far they have come in what will be 10 weeks tomorrow, I am amazed and thankful to God for the abilities He has given us to foster the growth of these tiny angels!

The girls are wanting to eat non-stop. I think this must be growth spurts...but right now, instead of dropping back to longer stretches, they want to eat every 2 - sometimes less than that - times a day! I am doing my best to hold them off until at least 2 hours simply because if they eat more frequently than that, they will not getting quality feedings and are getting more like snack time - which will wear all of us out. One night we were amazed to find that Savannah slept 7 hours!! But the next night, the delusional honeymoon was over and she was back up to eating every 3 hours throughout the night, 2 hours throughout the day. With two little ones, yes, we are pretty much feeding/eating all day long. However, with each cry and sweet little desperate plea for food, I can see that every little bit is helping them grow into the beautiful little people they are becoming. As they grow, no matter how tired Mommy might be, I find that my love for them grows more and more each and every day.

Tummy Time

I thought I'd just record the girls having a little tummy time today...little did I know I was going to see a first. Savannah rolled over for the very first time! She did it so effortlessly too. It was a surprise for me, and I'm glad I caught it all on camera!

Happy Valentine's Day


Valentine's Day this year has taken on a whole new meaning. Chris and I are so incredibly blessed with these two precious loves in our lives...he now has gone from having only one Valentine, to now having three!! There is so much love in this house....I truly cannot believe how much more I love these girls with each passing day!! I couldn't have imagined how much I love motherhood, and how much these girls mean to us both. So, Happy Valentine's Day to all of you out there who read up on our little angels and care so much about these two!!! They are truly the loves of our life!!!

Their First Church Service

Yesterday we took the babies to church for the first time and it went great. Daddy's sermon put the girls to sleep... :-)Those sweet babies slept through the entire thing...they were perfect little angels. Thankfully, their Aunt Robin was here to help me with them since Chris is obviously unavailable to help me from the pulpit! She held one and I held the other in their beautiful tiny white dresses their Nana and Papa had gotten them. They are looking forward to their second Sabbath next week when Nana and Papa and Uncle Jon and Aunt Brandi are here!
