Baby Blessing This Weekend

The twins will be blessed in church this weekend and there is an open invitation to all those who would like to attend. It will be on Sunday May3rd at 1:30 (best to arrive about 10min early) at the following address. Our Sacrament meeting which is the main service is from 1:30-2:30 and invite all who come for the blessing to stay the hour.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Of course all those who have noticed sudden onset of the ability to seek out truffles, a desire to bathe in mud, recent espisodes of rooting in the ground, development of cloven hoofs, or other swine flu symptoms may come at your own risk. You may however become the main dish at a Luau in honor of the twins later that day.

All Smiles and Laughs

The twins continue to grow and learn new things. Mia has become quite the photogenic little girl as you can see from the new photos. She even looks like she is trying to push Adam out of the way to hog all the limelight. Both are becoming quite the happy little babies. They entertain themselves better. Last night Mia woke up around 11:00 when I was trying to get Adam back to sleep. Instead of crying immediately like they used to she stared at the fan smiling and laughing until she smiled herself to sleep. There is nothing like their smiles and laughs to melt a heart. Both are putting on weight, Adam is around 12 1/2 and Mia around 10 1/2. Adam is catching up to ideal weight and Mia is still underweight but it is good to see her closing the gap between her and Adam. Mom has been coming over each Fri night to pull nighttime twin duty and let Milina and I sleep. We have become soooo boring that when we have a night off to do whatever we want the first thing on the list is to go to bed at 9:30 and sleep until we wake up which is usually around 7:30-8:30.

Pictures with the Easter Bunny!

Today, the twins got dressed up in their cute little Easter outfits that Lana Lowry and her daughters bought for them. Mia's dress is white with pink ribbon details, a pretty pink bow in front, and a silky diaper cover. Adam was wearing a yellow button-up shirt with blue and plaid overalls. After they got dressed we took them to Walmart to have their pictures made. This was their 3rd trip to Walmart and probably many more to come since I love to shop at Walmart. The line to wait for the pictures with the bunny was only about 1 or 2 other kids in front of ours, so not long at all. They did very well with the Easter Bunny unlike me with Santa Claus when I was younger. They even looked happy to be there. The fuzzy bunny probably felt like their really soft blankets that Aunt Audrey bought them which they love! We will scan the pictures tomorrow night and post them on here also. Tomorrow they get to find their Easter baskets at their Grandma's house. Grandma will hide a bag or basket of goodies for everyone to go find. Of course, Jonathan and I will help them find their baskets as we look for our own. They also get to see how many little peanut m&ms they can find hidden around the house. What fun huh? Thank you to everyone for keeping up with the twins! They are very precious to us and we love to share them with you. Happy Easter Everyone!!!
Yea, I have learned how to post! I am not as funny as Jonathan is though, so mine won't be as fun to read. oh well!

3 months old and all smiles

I realize that I am very slow to update the blog and will be showing Milina how so maybe there will be more consistent updates. The twins continue to grow and reach new milestones. The news we are most excited about is that Adam's feedings are now every 5 hours and Mia's are ever 2 1/2 hours. Mia was on every 4 but she would spit up so much we had to feed her more often and at least the 2 hour split kept her with Adam every other feeding. Mia does go 5hr in between the evening feedings which has been great for our sleep.
Both are starting to smile more and even starting to coo. Adam smiles and coos more than Mia does but she is finding her nice voice as well. They are also much better at entertaining themselves. They can lay under their mobiles or just look around for a little while instead of immediately crying when unattended.
We have also started taking them out more often. They have been to church 2X and have done very well. Adam is well on his way to bishopric material because he can sleep through sacrament meeting like he has been in presidency meetings all morning. We have also taken them on several walks in the neighborhood and they love to look around when it doesn't put them to sleep.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS: The twins will be blessed in church the first Sunday in May which is May 3rd. It will be at 1:30 at the following address. Everybody and anybody is invited.
