January 2012

We celebrated the New Year with just the kids and I. Randle had to work New Years Eve this year. Jesse and I went back and forth going outside and lighting fireworks. The girls, they were in bed by 9 and slept until midnight. So they got to celebrate the new year with us. In scouts with Jesse, we have built a bird house, and worked on his Tiger Cub badge. In February he will have earned it and moved up to the Wolf. He is loving it. I have joined a Bunco group, which this was our first month. It was really nice having someone sit with the kids so I could go do something without all of them attached to me. The girls are sitting up like pros and rolling everywhere they want to go. They scoot in a circle on their bum to play with toys. I have a feeling crawling is not far away. They are so smiley and happy girls. On January 28th they had their ear tube surgery at Primary Children's Medical Center. We were supposed to be there at 6 am and the surgery scheduled for 7:30 and 8 am. The doctor was running extra late because of the bad weather. So Tess didn't get taken back until 9 and Cami 9:30. Both girls remained happy yet hungry. The worse part was waking up from the anesthesia. They hated it. They screamed and screamed. Finally when we were able to leave around 10:30 they crashed in their car seats and slept the whole ride home. The rest of the day was miserable for them. They were fussy and tired, but they actually slept from 7p - 7a. It was much needed for them. They turned 9 months old on the 23rd. It is just amazing how fast time has gone by. They are getting funner and funner they older they get. They are always laughing at their brother and have started interacting more with each other.

Our familiy has made it thru 8 months

My girls are just a little over 8 months old. It has gone by so fast but slow at the same time. It has been a big adjustment for all of us, especially Jesse. But, he is one proud big brother, and very protective of his sisters. He holds them any chance he gets and plays with them constantly. The girls and I take Jesse to scouts every Monday. He just earned his Bobcat. We got to paint his face and I even received a pin for helping him achieve it. The girls have been rolling everywhere they want to go. They try to get up on their knees, but havent mastered it yet. Thankfully! This mom is not ready for two crawlers. They talk and babble up a storm. They laugh at everything Jesse does. They love the dog and pull her hair any chance they get. Lilie doesn't seem to mind at all. Their weights are doing great. Cami started out at 5 lb 7 oz and Tess at 5 lb 4 oz. Once we got them home, they dropped to 4 1/2 lbs each, so they still may be small but I am happy with them both now weighting 15 lbs. The placenta results show they are identical. They do have some differences though that help to tell them apart. Tess has more of a thinner face and oval shaped, where Cami has a more round face. I am told by my Doctors that it is because of the position they were in womb. They definitely have different personalities. Tess is more of a "now" person, where Cami is a bit more on the mellow side. Here are some photos of our first 8 months.
