Just some fun pictures

Thought I would share some pictures we have taken the last few days. The girls are growing every day! They have gotten so big I have almost forgotten how tiny they were when they were first born. It is absolutely amazing!!! We went to the pediatrician yesterday and got both girls weighed. Gracelyn weighs 7 lbs. 13 oz. and Ellie weighs 6 lbs 10 oz. They really don't look much alike, but they sure do love each other. It is so fun spending the day with them just getting to know them. I can't wait for April when we can get out of the house and I can show my girls off!

Oh my! She is actually sucking her thumb! So adorable...I love them already. Wish I could hold them and visit with you and Dave. So good to hear they are doing good and I hope you are getting some rest. I can't imagine having two new babies, your amazing!

Julia the girls are beautiful! I am so glad to hear they are home-REST as much as you can-some days I take a nap EVERY time they do :)
Your nights will get better but it will be hard for a little while-but I promise it does get better!! Just keep them on the same schedule-even if you have to wake one of them up. I am a schedule nazi with mine-although I am NOT like that in my own life!
I would love to email back and forth! brad.mere@gmail.com
do you have "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" - GREAT book!! Hang in there-you are doing GREAT!!!

Benjamin at 6 months

Ben is such a joy!  He is such a sweet, loving, cuddly, happy baby!  Ben loves taking a bath.  He will splash and splash and splash in the tub for as long as I will let him.  We haven't started giving him any food yet.  I can just picture the huge messes ahead and figure if I can put it off a little while longer, why not?  I know, by the looks of him you would think he eats us out of house and home!  He is a big guy and we love kissing on and squeezing every sweet soft roll!

November

Image
As I was looking for pictures to quickly update about November, I realized I don't have many.  Here is Ben trying to eat the stem of a pumpkin.  He had to squish his face down against the pumpkin because the stem was so short, but he was determined to bite it.  Repeatedly! Gracelyn and Ellie had their first program ever and I missed it.  Yep, I deserve mother of the year.  I was at home with Ben and just forgot.  If you know me, you know I cried.  It was a sad day.  And I can't find a decent video to copy from anyone.  The short clips I do have are really far away and all I can really see is that it was absolutely precious.  I still can't believe I missed it! We drove to Atlanta for Thanksgiving.  We had a great time with Dave's parents! Everyone was exhausted on the way home!  It was a LOOOONG drive home!  I did almost all of the driving and drove through the night so we could get home for Dave to work ...

Just because...

It was a nice day today so we went in the front yard and played for a little while.  The girls had fun running up and down the sidewalk while Ben just bounced away in his bouncy seat.  Love watching these precious babies grow up!! Gracelyn Ellie Benjamin
