SIX WEEKS!!

Hard to believe but the girls have been here for over 6 weeks. They are so cute as will be evidenced by the pictures later in the post. As everyone has predicted, they are starting to "protest" a bit more and are not just content little girls who only sleep and eat. They now let us know if they are displeased with something that is going on. We are trying to follow the basic ideas in Babywise and so far the schedule has been working. We have already dropped a feeding (YEAH!!) and are working on stretching the girls from 9pm to 6am...currently we still eat once during that time when they start to scream for food. Unfortunately it seems to be a different baby each night that wakes up hungry, and of course we
then wake the other up and feed them both...but then we never know how long could the other one have gone. We have also recently had to go to a larger bottle...4 oz was just not enough! Our girls are eaters (as of last week Audrey weighed 8 lbs and Brooke was 10 lbs) We have also had to move up sizes. We finally moved Audrey out of preemie diapers and clothes and into Newborn (Hurray she is finally newborn!) and simultaneously had to move Brooke out of Newborn and into 0-3 mo and size 1 diapers (she is finally 0 months!!). All my matching outfits have been thwarted thus far as they are in different sizes, but some very smart people gave them some NB and 0-3's for Christmas so now they can match...if they can both avoid giant spit-ups and blow-outs (where does all of that come from??)
Enough of all that chatter...here are the pictures

Audrey after a meal...can you see why we go through so many burb cloths, bibs, and outfits??
Brooke in the sling...K is trying to find the best options for transporting them when we all go out and about.The girls with Gramma Hazel...they are looking so cute in their little pants! (I LOVE the little pants!!)The girls just being adorable as they nap!
