Picture Post

Norah Isabella, 2 months.
Last week, Norah weighed 7 lbs, 1 oz. This week, she weighed 7 lbs, 13 oz---a gain of 12 oz in 8 days!! She is in the 50% for weight. She is 20.5 inches (75%) and her head circumference is 35 cm (50%).


Norah has the most kissable cheeks! She demands attention and has quite a temper. She works herself into fiery tears and bright red face in a second. Chris says she's "high maintenance and definitely "my" child". She loves to snuggle and has worked her magic into sleeping with us in bed--the only place she will let us all sleep in peace. One friend said Norah was not meant to be a twin because she wants all eyes on her. She's been quite a character, even since all her flipping in the womb!


Audrey Elise, 2 months

Last week, sweet peanut Audrey weighed 6 lbs, 11 oz. Today, she weighed 7 lbs, 3 oz--Ethan weighed 7 lbs, 2 oz at birth! She is in the 30% for weight. She was 19.5 inches (50%) and her head circumference was 35.5 cm (60%).
Audrey has such a sweet, gentle disposition--not unlike her quiet self in the womb. She is easy going and though she would rather snuggle, she is fine to sit contently and take things in. She loves her pacifier and sucks it vigorously, like Maggie on the Simpsons. She also loves a relaxing, warm bath. When she does need something, her cry is sweet and small, and she makes the most pitiful little face. She's a keeper!






Ethan and Daddy installed new toilet seats today. Here's Ethan demonstrating the new razzle-dazzle feature--a small seat within a large seat! Chris decided that since we would need little people seats for the next several years, this was the way to go.


Here are both the girls in a twin carrier.
Together in the carrier.


We took Ethan to play mini-golf and ride go-carts this week. His face was SO cute on the go-carts, which we ended up riding 3 times. We thought that would be his favorite part of the day, but he said his favorite was mini-golf!


Poor Ethan. We promise he doesn't always have Dumb and Dumber hair....




Grandma and Grandpa. Doesn't Mom look pretty?

Great pics, Michelle. It's so awesome to see how different the girls look, and that their little personalities are already so different, too. God created them each so uniquely ... amazing. Ethan continues to be one of the cutest little boys on the face of the PLANET! Man is he handsome!

Fabulous!

P.S. I gave Brenna the "Dumb and DUmber" bangs cut a few months back. My husband was horrified when she came downstairs. He told her how beautiful she looked, and then as soon as she wasn't looking, he mouthed to me, "What the heck did you do to her hair?!" LOL. Oops! Luckily, they grow super fast!
