My babies are TWO MONTHS old! I mean I was prepared that time flies by since it did with Parker, but I guess knowing these are my last it makes the time passing quickly even harder for me!
I am so in love with these sweet baby girls!
They make our family so complete and we are all just smitten!

We do not go for their 2 month check up until this Wednesday and I cant wait to see how much they have grown! I see them all day everyday so I think its harder for me sometimes to realize how big they are getting but everyone else keeps commenting on how much they have grown!
Their little personalities are showing more and more each day, the majority of the time they are all smiles!! They have becomes so alert over the past couple of weeks and its so fun to watch them soaking in everything around them. They love to watch the fan and most of all their big brother running around like a mad man!! He keeps them both pretty entertained. His favorite thing to do is to kiss them and sing them the ABC's!!
The girls took their first road trip this past weekend to Houston to stay with my parents and to visit and meet all of my family/friends. I was a little nervous about the four hour drive with all three kids(Wayne too...I am not that insane to go at it alone). The girls did fantastic. We timed it to where they would eat right before we left and would be eating as soon as we arrived. Traffic had another plan, but we just stopped along the way and fed them in the car, no big deal! They slept the entire rest of the trip! We went down so that I could also host a baby shower for my cousin who is expecting twin boys in October...how fun is that?? Two sets of twins who will be less than 4 months apart!! Christmas this year will be so much fun!!!
Here are a few things about the girls this month...
Reese:
- You still have a pretty full head of dark hair, although I am noticing a little thinning and a little more blonde each day. Your brother lost all of his dark hair around 3 months so we will see if you follow in those footsteps
- At first I will admit I called you my high maintenance twin, but honestly now it really couldn't be further from the truth.
- Your little personality shines through more and more each day and you have a smile that melts our hearts!
- You are a good little sleeper. You go down around 9/10 each night and wake around 5/6 for a bottle and then are back to sleep until around 8/9 depending on our morning and where we have to be. We are following the book "12 hours by 12 weeks" just like we did with your brother and we have been happy so far. Still sleeping in your rock n play in our room.
- You are so alert and love looking all around. You love being on your play mat and grabbing at the giraffe, the monkey and the rings! Once you get one in your hands you don't let go!!
- You are cooing more and more each day. Sweetest sound in the world
- Eating 5 4oz bottles a day. You love to eat!!
- You love napping in the bouncer and in the table for two.
- You are kicker. Those long little legs of yours never stop moving!
- Still wearing newborn clothes. I have tried to get you into a few 0-3 month outfits and there have been one or two I have rigged to work.
- We just put you in your first size 1 diaper today (ran out of Newborn). They are a little big, but not huge and I am sure you will be filling them out in no time!
- You are going to see a Pediatric Physical Therapist next week for an evaluation. We have noticed you like to cock your little head to the left and your pedi noticed your neck muscles were a little tight so we are going to have you looked at for Torticollis. More updates on that next week.
- Update: we had your 2 month appt and you are 9lbs 14oz and 22 inches long
Morgan:
- You are starting to turn blonde! The dark hair you have is slowly starting to disappear

- You are so alert and love looking all around. You love being on your play mat and grabbing at the giraffe, the monkey and the rings! Once you have your little fingers wrapped around the rings, you never want to let go!
