EIGHT WEEKS!!

I can not believe that the girls have been here for 8 weeks!! It seems like just yesterday that I was telling people that I was 8 weeks pregnant...

Here is a summary of what we have been up to: we have been eating, playing, pooping, and sleeping. Repeat. and Repeat....but if you want a little more information and some pics, keep reading.

Here are the girls at their first outing to a real restaurant. We all went out to eat at Pei Wei...the girls actually only ate formula, but at some point they got a little of mommy's Pei Wei Spicy Chicken!Every day during active alert time we work on head control and so here is Audrey demonstrating that ability in her Bumbo chair...of course the next few pictures we took showed her slowly toppling forward. But soon they will be ready to sit in their little chairs...so cute!
Here is Audrey in her little swing. She is so funny how she will just stare at the little bees hanging from it (we are also working on tracking during active alert time). K is still "saving" different tricks of the toys (I figure we need something when the girls really get wailing!) so Audrey has not heard the music or been above 3 on this swing. The girls had their 4th Christmas when D's family came to visit. This is their little first cousin Kayla...she was so cute with the babies and wanted to take them home with her. Here she is holding Brooke, who as you can see is really packing on the lbs. We have not had an official weigh in (K felt stupid bringing her giant kids each week to see if they were gaining weight when it was totally obvious that they were) recently, but their 2 month appointment is Monday. However, using the on the scale with them and then without them method, it appears that Brooke is very close to 13 lbs (which would be more than double her birth weight) and that Audrey is between 10 and 11 lbs (getting close to tripling her birth weight).Grandma and Grandpa Hadden got the girls a new jogging stroller. This a picture of us on our first outing around the block. It is quite nice and K is now ready to join all you stroller-fit people...well ready except she gets out of breath just walking the mile around the block!
Here is a picture of Brooke after one of our outings in the Baby Bjorn....we walked to McDonalds and got some food! Obviously we only use this when there is someone else to carry one of the babies (I did not just leave Audrey at home!) As you can see there is an excercise theme as K is trying to lose her last 20 or so lbs (apparently the Big Mac is not a diet food even if you walk to get it)
Finally, here is K with her sassy new short haircut...oh and of course there is a baby too!

Thanks so much for sharing with us. Your hair is cute and you made me bust out laughing in the middle of a sales meeting with weighing the obviously growing kids. I love your blog, K!
