Baptism

12/16/2012 Henry and Colton were baptized. Colton wore a gown from Grandma Joan's family that is over 100 years old. Pete was baptized in the same gown. Henry wore a gown from Grandma Francie's family. Colton's Godparents (Mark and Trianna) and Henry's Godparents (Chad and Amy) all took part in the ceremony. My nieces, Georgia and Addie, were the priest's helpers as well. Both boys were good but Colton made sure God knew he was there. It was a special day for our family.

2 Months

Time flies bye, especially when one day blends right into the next. The boys are doing great and growing to be big and strong. Henry came in the 60th plus percentile with his weight, needless to say he likes to eat! He has over doubled in size and continues to want to eat more. Colton is growing right on track, smaller then his brother but growing at more of an average pace ( he has close to doubled his birth weight). They both are responding to things... they smile at Mom and Dad and coo and caaa... it's so much fun. They now will reach for toys and grab at things. It amazes me how fast they learn things and how quickly they change. Henry has rolled over a few times from his belly to his back. Colton can stand on his legs (with help of course) and hold his head really well. I already feel like they are growing too fast, I can't believe that they are so much bigger already. They go for 4-6 hour stretches of sleep at night now, which makes the days that much more enjoyable for Mom and Dad! We are having fun with them and soaking in each day as best we can.

1 Month Old

Being home with our two little angels is amazing, our life is so different now!  We are adjusting to our new normal, which is feeding and changing diapers every two to three hours. The boys have adjusted well and are good babies. They really only cry for good reason, food or diaper. They sleep for 3- 4 hour stretches at night. We are busy but it's not nearly as hard as I thought. It amazes me everyday that I grew both of them in me. It truly is a miracle and for us a double blessing! Here are a few fun shots of their first month of life :)
