Last Day of Preschool

Alexis has officially finished her first year of school! We made so many great friends! And had the best teacher! Making our transition into school so much easier. Alexis is already counting down the days until Fall.

 

This was always Alexis' favorite time of day, calendar time! And she especially loved being the Special Helper! What a treat that she got to be the Special Helper on the last day of a school.

A little comparison...

Five Weeks

She wasn't very happy for our photo this week! 

And some pictures from this week...

Big Moments from this week...

Alexis' Last Day of Preschool

The babies went to their first restaurant! 

Happy Mothers Day ❤️

I rang in my first Mothers Day as a mom of four... with two tiny babies that just wouldn't let me put them down at 1AM! 

But they woke up happy as can be. Marshall even cooed for Mommy! Here they are posing for their one month photo! I just can't hardly believe it. 

Lydia wore her first dress! All three of my girls had pretty dresses on today.

But they didn't last long... Off they came. And on went their new bathing suits! Complete with new blow up pools. Yes, pools. Aunt Joni doesn't do just one pool. Alexis already knows what summer is about; lounging and sunbathing!

My Great Grandmother loving on the twins. This picture taken a few moments after Marshall pooped and peed all over himself and her. They are both on outfit number two for the day! Sorry Mom!

And ended the day with a few smiles from Lydia. Her first 'real' smiles. But of course the smiles went away once I got the camera out. But she still looks cute.

What a perfect Mothers Day!!

First Trip to Sam's

Lydia Audiology Appt

Lydia failed her hearing test in the hopsital. We were referred ro Children's Audiology Department. We were just now able to get in for an appointment and are happy to report her hearing is great! 

It wasn't fun seeing her hooked up for the test but she slept through the whole thing like a champ! 

Four Weeks

Three Weeks

He is in Newborn size diapers and clothes.

He is finally allowing us to feed him every three hours instead of every two.

He is having periods during the day where he is more alert. Sometimes as long as 45-60 mins.

Everyone who sees him says he looks like his Daddy. 

He is very particular about where he sleeps. Prefers to be held, it's quite the struggle at 3AM! 

She is in newborn diapers, even though they are huge on her.

She is also in mostly newborn clothes with plenty of room to grow.

She likes to eat every four hours. 

She still sleeps the day away. Only awake usually 5-10 mins at a time. 

She will allow us to lay her almost anywhere to sleep.

Lydia Three Week Check Up

Three Week Weight Check.. Success! 

My big 4 pound 14.5 ounce baby!!! Were finally up past her birth weight! :) No more weight checks!! 

She also got to go out shopping (to Walmart) for the first time. Her, Alexis and I had a fun day together.

But not without her "Do Not Touch" sign!! I've never been one to worry about germs, but when you have babies that are barely five pounds it makes you take extra precaution. 

Pictures from this past week.. 

Completely in love with these little hands..
