Well.....our sweet little girls are four months old. They are changing so much every. Single. Day. They're starting to notice each other more and more everyday too! It's so cute to watch them look over at each other and get the biggest smile or grin on their faces. We've all been sick of course and day care is going really well. Miss Brittany and Anna take excellent care of our sweeties and we are so thankful to have them every day. We had our four month check up and shots yesterday.. Boooooo. Davin however has blown her sister out of the water as far as weight goes. You would never think she was the one in the nicu. She weighs 15.2 pounds and is 23.5 inches long. Emma weighed in at 14.1 and 24 inches long. We started rice cereal this week. Emma has the spoon thing down, davin not so much. These babies are amazing. Each day I'm so thankful and blessed to have them in my life. Can't wait to watch them grow... Well.. Maybe I can, not so fast though.

3 Months

Our sweet little ladies turned 3 months old this week. Man, they are changing so much, so fast. We had to take them in the the doctor earlier this month because they were having trouble with spit up issues, turns out, it's reflux. She put them on Zantac and they're good to go. While we were there they did weigh them. Emma weighed in at 12.6 and Davin weighed in at 12.5. She said they were growing great! We have gotten into a true routine of bath time,bottle time, book time and bed. We noticed that the nights we gave them a bath they slept 7 to 8 hours. So we made it a night time thing and it stuck and they do fantastic with it.

I love these girls. Their smiles are so contagious. They are in constant motion and occasionally they look up at me and I get a little watery in the eye area. They know how to really get into your emotions:) I am loving every minute of being a momma. Tonight we heard Emma really chuckle for the first time and I'm so glad nana got to hear it as we were face timing. We FaceTime my mom and dad every day when we get in from daycare and the girls really like it;)

Here are a few of my favorite pictures over the past few months.

happy new year!

1 Month old!

I'm a few days behind, but this past thursday our little girls turned 1 month old! We had our 1 month check up on friday. Emma, weighs 8lbs 11 oz and Davin weighs 8lbs 8 oz. Emma is 20 1/2 inches long and Davin is 20. Everything is going great! We are getting up about every 3-3.5 hours, sometimes 4 in the night to eat.We are letting them tell us when they're hungry. It rarely goes past 4. They are prefect. I didn't know I could love something so much. That "something" you would do anything for, protect, feed, change, play and love every single day. We have always said we are "blessed" and God will always take care of us and won't give us more than we can't handle. I've never felt this statement to be more true. I feel so blessed every day. I couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect family. We are going to travel to Lexington, KY for the holidays to visit my family. I can't wait for everyone to meet the girls that haven't already. I'm sure it will take us longer to get there, but we are both family people and want them to always be surrounded by family and want them to know how important it is to grow up around everyone, even if my family is 9 hours away.
We also took them to their first tailgating experience this weekend for the Arkansas vs Mississippi game in Little Rock. Amanda mom took the motorhome and it came in so handy since it was cool and windy out. We ended up selling our tickets to the game. The pictures are a few during their first month. I love these girls!
