5 Months Old

The babies turned 5 months old on Dec. 23rd! Wow...the time has gone by so quickly. It seems like I was in the hospital for so long, and then we were on the road seeing the babies for so long....but actually, it was nothing!

The babies had a wonderful Christmas with family. My family came down on Sat. Dec. 22nd, and then John's mom and niece came down on Sunday the 23rd. The babies got money for their savings accounts, clothes, toys, and books for Christmas. Of course they slept through the present unwrapping! It was exciting for me, though!

They have all really noticed each other within the last week or so, and really get huge smiles when they look at each other. Last night I was holding Aaron and John was holding Adam. We put the two of them up close to each other, and they just had a big ole conversation. It was so cute! I just cried!! They smiled and laughed and talked. It was really precious....I wish we could have recorded it!

Pictures with Santa

Chelsea and I took the babies to get their pictures made with Santa today. The babies looked so cute! Of course we couldn't get them to smile, but I still love the pictures. Aaron is in the snowman sweater.





































Shirley Craft bought these outfits for the babies...they are so cute! Chelsea just happened to be wearing a shirt with a hood today too, so there is a picture of the 4 of them together. Adam is in the green.














The babies have been doing great! The boys are sleeping until 6:30-7:00 every morning, and Avery is getting up around 3:30 still. She did have two nights this week where she slept as late as the boys! It all depends on how much cereal she eats at night. She's not a huge fan of it, however. I'm sure that she will love it when we throw some fruit into it in a few weeks. We are starting to let them play in their Exersaucer now too. They love looking at all the stuff! Adam is in the blue.

























John went to Pittsburgh this weekend for a Steelers game and had a great time. It was snowing like crazy there! He brought us home tons of souveniers. The babies smiled so big when he got home.





We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!!

Sorry It's been so long!

I can't believe it's been over a week since I posted...we've been busy!

I worked two days last week, then we had John's Open House at the bank on Friday. Saturday night we went to a Christmas party, and then Sunday John and I spent the night in Fort Worth to shop and celebrate our 13th anniversary! It was a great weekend! Chelsea stayed Saturday and Sunday nights, so I really got some rest.

The babies are doing great! The boys slept until 6:15 yesterday morning, and then until 7:00 today! Avery is still eating at 2:30 AM, but it is so easy to just feed her and put her back to bed. I'm so proud of the babies. They are just amazing! They are very good-natured and patient. When people come see them they just can't believe how easy-going they really are. Thank Goodness!

Here are some cute pictures of the babies. Some in their bath towels...in one of many Christmas outfits, and just hanging out at home!

Pictures

Chelsea and I tried to take Christmas pictures, which are cute, but they didn't turn out like we had hoped. You gotta love that bow on Avery!

Also, the babies wore their "Monkey" outfits today...I think Kandy D. got them for the babies. They looked so cute! I put them in the same chair that I took their 2-month pictures...they don't really fit anymore! :)

The Boys slept through the Night!

Yeah! Friday night Adam slept all night, then Saturday night Aaron did it too! Avery still woke up around 3:00 to eat, but then went right back to sleep. I am so proud of the babies!

Pictures: John with his boys; Adam smiling; Avery doing "Super Avery!"--we hold her up and she straightens her legs out like Superman; Cletus and Bella Bear; their Steeler's clothes actually fit; Avery and Reagan (Jeff and Sonja's Daughter).
