Twin Happenings

What have Cameron and Dallin been doing for the past few days?

Trying on Daddy's boots.

Trying out Luke's tummy turtle.

Trying out the shower for the first time (fully clothed and screaming wildly the whole time).

Out of the high chairs and onto the big chairs ( and getting stuck in one).

Being happy.

Trying out the pots and pans ( cookin up some buns)!

Riding the train to the library complete with a snack (fruit loop necklaces).


And, having a secret twin meeting.

Three Months Old!

My baby boy is three month old today. Here are some pictures of sweet little bubbas!

Matching Daddy's clothing and expression.

Licking the delicious overalls.

Getting some brotherly support during tummy time.

And enjoying a piano playing session with Daddy!

(Yes he does have a black eye. Apparently it isn't wise to pretend trains are balls and throw them.)
This is what happens when they don't have a nap.

Baby Luke's 2 Month Update

Luke has passed his two month birthday. He is getting to be quite a cute and chubby little baby. When we went for his two month checkup he weighed 12 lbs. 8 oz. He is so happy and always smiling. He even laughed for the first time yesterday at 10 weeks old! What a cutie.

Blessing Day

Two weeks ago, we went on a whirlwind trip up to Utah to see my brother before he left on his mission and to bless baby Luke. It was crazy. We pretty much drove up, got pictures of Luke taken (I will post them when we get them), canned tomatoes, visited with people, blessed Luke and then drove home. It was so worth it! I just wish that I was able to visit with all of the people that I wanted to, but we are planning on coming up for a two week visit in November so I wasn't too disappointed.

I was so happy with how everything turned out for Luke's blessing. He was so handsome in his little blessing outfit and Darin gave a beautiful blessing. He stayed quiet during the whole blessing and was very happy all day. He was blessed a few minutes before Mark did his missionary farewell talk. Mark did a great job and I was really impressed with the things that he shared. I am excited for him to be a missionary. I know he will do a great job and I look forward to teaching Cameron and Dallin more about the church while he serves in South Dakota.

One Month

Baby Luke is officially one month old today. Wow the time has flown by.

He is such a sweet baby. We all love him so much.

It has been fun and crazy to have three kids. For the first two weeks Darin took time off of work to be home with us all.

The next week was a very rough one for me. It was hard to transition to taking care of a newborn with the twins.

This last week has been much better. I am feeling really happy about things. We are getting into a good routine.

Randomness:

Cameron and Dallin are playing together more and more, partially because they are growing up and partially because I cannot play with them as much. There are some mornings that they wake up and start playing together and I have no clue how long they have been up.

I got used to changing Luke's diaper and now every time I change Cameron and Dallin's diapers I about gag. I don't know what really changed because it used to not bother me. I think that it is time to explore the options of potty training.

It is hard to stay positive about weight changes during and after a pregnancy. I feel as though there is a lot of pressure to get back to the "pre-baby body" as soon as possible. I am trying so hard to stay positive and focus on providing my baby with the best possible nourishment and being healthy instead of worrying about losing a bunch of weight real fast. Sometimes it is just so depressing to look in the mirror and to not fit in my regular clothes, and not want to wear maternity clothes. Flip.
