flower girl

Kirby was the flower girl in my cousin, Hannah's wedding over Labor Day weekend. She did great job! The wedding was so fun, and Hannah was beautiful!!

Kirby told us that she had to go pump her boobies...

2 months...well 2 1/2 now!

Maggie and William are now 10 weeks old (poor babies didn't get a 2 month old post - I guess that's what happens with the second child...or children!) At their 8 week appointment, Maggie weighed 9 lb. 3 oz. and William weighed 10 lb. 4 oz. They are sleeping great at night - about 8 or 9 hours straight!

We are seeing more and more of their personalities emerge each day - Maggie is so laid back. She just sits and takes it all in with her bright, twinkling eyes. I wish I could capture that twinkle in a picture for you to see! She is just precious!

William is a little more high maintenance - he is content when he is being held and still spends most of the day wide awake. He's super snuggly, and I can somehow already tell that he's going to be all boy. We are convinced that any weight he's gained in the last couple of weeks has gone straight to his cheeks! The pic below doesn't do them justice!

Both M & W are full of smiles and coos these days! I hate that there aren't more hours in the day to sit and talk to those smiling faces - it's hard splitting your time 3 ways - there just aren't enough hours in the day!!!

1st Day of School!!

I'm such a big girl - I went to school today! I didn't even cry when Mommy and Daddy left me - I was too busy playing with play dough. When Mommy said, Bye, I love you!" I said, "I love you, too" without even looking up!

I put my snack in the basket all by myself and played in the kitchen and with the blocks. I had so much fun on the playground, too! When Mrs. Hagler and Mrs. Chakravarti opened the door to let our parents in, I got so excited to see my Mommy waiting for me that I got tears in my eyes. Just Like Mama Llama, she came back!!!

I can't wait to go back tomorrow!!




Thanks, Annie, for the precious apple bubble suit - you're a great smocker!!!

Kirby Konversations

- At the park last week, Kirby exclaimed, "this horse is my favorite - he match my shoes!!"

- While rock-a-bying tonight, she said, "You boobies is soooo big! My boobies is little."

-Kirby and I ran a few errands today. She wanted to show me something in the store and rubbed my leg and said, "Come here, sweetie."

- As well as Kirby is adjusting to our family of 5, every once in a while the toll it's taken on her shows through - like when I'm feeding babies or changing diapers and she yells, "Mommy, Mommy, I'm right here." Breaks my heart.

- She taps her finger on her lips and says, "Hmmmm...what have we here?"

- It seems that more and more often I have to use "my ugly voice" before Kirby will do what I ask. After she finally obeys, she tilts her head to the side and says, "are you happy now?"

- Kirby: What color is my hair?
Daddy: Brown.
Kirby: I knew that.

- Mommy: What are you doing?
Kirby: Nuffing.

- Mommy: What are you doing?
Kirby: Pooping.

We've failed as Aggies

We didn't lie, cheat, or steal, but this may be worse :)

1 month!

Maggie and William were one month old yesterday! I have no idea where the time has gone!



Here's what Maggie and William have been up to this month...

-William stays wide awake the majority of the day. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that he slept a TOTAL of 2 hours during the day (8:30am - 10pm) yesterday. Maggie on the other hand was awake only 2 hours! William is very alert and looks around at everything with wide, bright eyes. Miss Mags is still in the sleepy newborn stage.


-M & W consistently drink 4 oz at each feeding and sometimes more at night and can do so in record time! They are super easy to feed, and they burp like grown men.

-They are sleeping 4-5 hours at night. Rockstars!

-They grunt and groan like no one I have ever heard!

-Both kiddos weigh over 7 lbs and are getting double chins and rolls everywhere - I could just eat them up! As much as they've grown, though, they are still so tiny!


-We (and when I say "we" I mean Jim) have cooked dinner twice since we've been home from the hospital, yet we have eaten like royalty - do we have awesome friends and family or what?

-Last weekend we went through 84 diapers in 48 hours. Who knew the phrase "up to my eyeballs in poop" was more than just figure of speech?

-We made our first road trip to Beaumont - Maggie and William got to meet their great grandmother, Mom!

-They love laying next to each other and are so content when they snuggle

Granted, we've had TONS of help, so far this whole twin thing isn't as hard as I thought it was going to be!! We'll see what next month brings!
