Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch today, we assumed that this was going to be one of those magical memory making moments, we were so wrong! The boys did not really enjoy picking out their little pumpkins. Carter screamed and Barrett was generally disinterested. Oh well maybe next year...

Momma, this is so boring!!!

So I was attempting to clean up the house and Carter was following me around in his Bumbo seat. Once we reached the bathroom he could no longer handle all the excitement.

Thank you!

We want to "THANK" our Aunt Bea for our Halloween surprise! We were so thrilled to get our adorable outfits!

Get off me!!!

We are about to get a bath?

Zzzzz....

We went in to check on Barrett, because he was too quite, and this is what we found. I suppose it is just rough being 11 weeks old!

Momma!

"Momma, are you sure these animals are not going to get me?"

Oh, We LOVE our playmat

Nap Time....

This is actually a rare site at our house...The babies really don't like taking naps together

Hi Barrett!

THE TWO MONTH CHECK UP

Well, today finally arrived a day that was hanging over my (Momma's) head for some time. The first check up with "THE SHOTS". As we were getting the boys ready for their big day I realized that I could not even reward them for surviving the check up. I must say I could not believe how well they did. After the assembly line of injections was over I was actually the only one left crying. We also could not believe how much they weighed. Carter weighed in at 10 lbs 13oz and Barrett a substantial 11lbs 4 oz... Wow, I suppose those round the clock feedings are working after all.

The Podee

Everyone ask us how we can feed two babies at once. Well world here is the answer: The Podee. In our mine this "bottle" is the best invention ever! Barrett is the master at self-feeding. As you can see in the first picture he is "gesturing" to let us know how much he appreciates having to feed his self sometimes.

"Momma, Please turn the fan off"

I went into the nursery the other day to check on Barrett during nap time and this is how I found him. I suppose that I should turn off the ceiling fan next time.

Best Buddies (VIDEO)

We try to let the boys snuggle close a few minutes each day. We want them to be best buddies...

The stare

Barrett will always win in a starring contest. Carter thinks this is a bit too close for him...

These are a few of our favorite things... (VIDEO)

This is one of Carter's favorite sleepy time pleasures. He will start to scream when it turns off! Matt is working on a way to keep it going for a while.

Here is Barrett, he loves his swing!

Carter's Got Talent

So picture this: Matt takes Carter into the Nursery to change a VERY stinky diaper. As soon as Matt gets the diaper off Carter seizes the opportunity to "get Daddy". Carter proceeds to shoot poo!! What!!! Matt came running into our room covered in Carter poo and says, "do you want the baby or the mess". I could tell that I probably should take the mess because Matt appeared to be on the verge of a major melt down. I entered the Nursery and can only describe the scene as something you would see on CSI. There was poo everywhere. It was all over the changing pad and table, carpet and had even made it to cover the back of the nursery door!! So after cleaning and scrubbing for a while the mess was cleaned up. We just were completely shocked that something that only weighs 6 pounds could be so destructive...

Quick Update

Matt and I are just in Survival Mode! The boys are up are keeping us busy both day and night. We are going on sugar and no sleep!!! Everyone keeps telling us that it will get better though. However, as soon as you look at them it makes it all worth while.

The boys are growing like little weeds...We could not be prouder. We will update with new pictures soon.

Pictures of the Boys

Good friends of ours, Adam and Nicolle, came to visit us in the hospital and brought their nice camera with them. They have some great pictures to share with everyone. Click on the link below to view them all. Above is just one example...

The Stork did land at our house...

While Heather, Carter, and Barrett were sleeping a few days ago a Stork landed in our yard! This is a tradition in our area announcing to everyone that we have had a baby...But this was a super Stork since he actually delivered babies!!!!
