Big Brother ~ Little Sister

Here are some more favorites! As many of you know....Will is 2 minutes older than Hayden. Somehow we found a "Big Brother" shirt that was for a 3 month old. What an opportunity to remind everyone that we have a Big Brother and Little Sister! Mama with her little monkeys!
Big Brother & Little Sister.....she looks a little shocked and Will obviously knows he is the older sibling! :)

4 Months Old!

We had our 4 month checkup today! I can't believe our babies are already 4 months old! Will weighed in at 13 lb 14 oz and was 24 1/4 inches long. Hayden weighed 11 lb 11 oz and was 23 3/4 inches long. They are both doing great! They have each been a little sick but we are getting through it each day. Missing a couple hours of sleep is easily forgiven when they give us their big smiles the next morning.

Will & Hayden have really shown their personalities and are quite opposite! Will is very laid back, smiles and talks to us all the time, loves to cuddle and loves to watch football (he actually turns his whole body to see the TV when it is on). Hayden is our little drama queen! She loves to put her lip out and squeal then look to see if we are paying attention. She is very alert and loves to be the center of attention. Hayden has also decided she is going to be a thumb sucker. Mommy, Daddy & Susan are trying hard to kick her habit. She thinks it is a game so we will see how this goes. Hayden is also very in love with Will. She looks at him with such adoration while smiling and talking to him. He looks at her then looks away as if his 'little' sister is annoying him. It is very cute! Last night Cousin Jack & Aunt Ann came to visit. Jack took to Will right away....they even had mini conversations. It was great! But Jack didn't give as much attention to Hayden and she did not like it. She decided to throw the biggest hissy fit yet. Although our ears hurt from her screeches, it was pretty cute.

Will & Hayden are great babies! They go to daycare during the week (Susan is AMAZING) and they are very happy babies there! We play on their play mats most nights. They just started to fit in their exersaucers so this will be a new adventure. They also just discovered their fun crib entertainment centers. Will & Hayden also sleep during the night. We usually have baths around 8:30 then they eat, read a book and off to bed by 9:30 or so. We are very lucky that they sleep about 6 hours before they are hungry again. We have been spoiled that we have not had to get up much.....until Will got sick. We can't say enough how lucky we are to have such amazing children...as well as each other!

Her are some of our newest pictures of our 'Peanut' (Hayden) and 'Moose' (Will). We hope you enjoy! We are so blessed! Hayden with her pink 'ice cream cone' headband!

Ok....A Few More Pictures

Will & Hayden are now 3 1/2 months old. I can't believe how time flies! They go in for their 4 month check up in 2 weeks. I can't wait to see how much they have grown! Here are a few more pictures of the cuties.... Happy Little Will....and pacifier free!!!

Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Our was great with our two little angels. I did wake up with a horrible flu on Christmas morning so our celebration was mild and our pictures came a day later. Aric was a champ and opened all the Christmas presents and showed Will & Hayden each and every one of them. He is such a wonderful Daddy! Here are some of our Christmas pictures. The twins enjoyed it very much! Plus, they have been able to spend everyday with Daddy while he is off on winter break. They have had so much fun playing with new toys and getting in some good cuddle time! Oh so many toys!

What a GREAT Christmas present!

They already love their new toy box!

Meeting Santa!

We went to our daycare Christmas party on Friday. It was amazing! Susan had Santa come visit the kids and all of them got presents...of course! She also made us a poem with Will & Hayden's hand prints on it. She made ornaments and gave us pictures too! She is amazing! Here are some pictures from our first Christmas party!

Meeting Santa....a little sleepy

Merry Christmas!

Going Back to Work....And Other Updates

I started work this week. It was very hard to start back up again. I am able to go feed them at lunch so I have that to look forward to every day. I am blessed to have an amazing daycare provider. She really loves the kids and it is great to have someone so special take care of them while I am at work.

The kids are growing so fast! I had them weighed today and they are getting big! Today they are 11 weeks and 2 days. Will is up to 11 lb. 11 oz. and Hayden is up to 9 lb. 13 oz. They have started to sleep very well! They typically sleep between 6 and 7 hours per night. It is awesome....especially since I started work! They are very alert and love to look at you and smile. Will has rolled over one time but I think it was a fluke as he was very mad to be on his tummy and he just kicked and pushed correctly and flipped over.

Will & Hayden's toy box! It took major sweet talking to convince Daddy that the twins needed to have a Laker toy box! The same line also carries a table, chairs, rocking chair and step stool. Maybe we can convince him of more later....doubt it though. :)

Cuddling during nap time. Their faces were touching before the flash went off.
