2 month check up

Here are some pics we took to send to ericka

one of Joey's first attempts to smile i think he was trying to teach caylee how

Well on Monday we had our two month check up, as much as I was looking forward to it I knew that they were have to have shots and that just killed me. Anyway down to business, timmy is on my lap and he is not too happy. Joey is 11 pounds 4 ounces and 22 3/4 inches long, he is in th 90% percentil for weight, he is our little buddah man. Timmy is 9 pounds 1 ounce and 21 1/2 inches long, Caylee is 8 pounds 14 ounces and is 21 inches long. Timmy and Caylee are in the 10 to 20 percentile for their weight. Doc said all looks good and they are doing great!!!! Then the bad part came. They needed to get shots, there is two us and three of them how do you comfort all of them? well we found out one of the nurses took one of them. Timmy went first he turned bright red and couldn't make a sound, Joey went next and screamed too, Caylee cried till she got picked up. All in all it wasn't too bad.

July 26th, 2 months

Holy Cow, I cannot believe that these babies are already 2 months old, time sure has flown by. They have gotten so big and come a long way since we brought them home. In the last week they have started to smile and really focus on things like the stars above the couch caylee will sit and stare at them for the longest time. Joey is in the bouncy staring at the toys and he has the hiccups too. and He just cooed for the first time, no really I have never heard him do it before just now.


Well today we went down to Mishicot and the babies got to see their first parade and carnival, they mostly slept and then it rained buckets. At least allie got some rides in. I went back to work this week and it has been going well, yeah I miss the babies and allie, it has been 6 months since I was at work, but it is nice to know I will get out of this house and not be stuck here. Granted that if we could afford it and didn't need my insurance I would probably be home with them, but just not in the cards for us. We will survive. Tomorrow we go for shots and will see just how big these babies have gotten.

July 13th Ericka leaves.........

Well it is so hard to believe that Ericka is all grown up and now she is gone. She left for the Air Force today and it really sucks not having her here. But I know this experience will make her stronger and in the end she will be glad she did it too. Here are some pics from today We Love you E!!!!!!! Can't wait to see you in September.

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Just had to post this, everyone in the house except me of course, is actually sleeping. Calvin, Allie, the babies and the dogs and cats all sawing logs. I cannot beleive our house is this quiet. Just had to share.

July 5th First Road Trip

Well today we decided to brave a road trip. We went up to the cottage to see Grandma, We took the babies in the truck and Kim took Allie. We still have not gotten a vehicle big enough for all of us, someday soon. We had planned to cook out so grandma had to do nothing but typical grandma she was up at the crack of dawn cooking. It was a very nice day and babies did great in the truck that long. Allie found her first snake, she saw one down by the water sunning itself on the rocks. Calvin brought it to the window and me and grandma both had a fit. I love these pics of grandma with the babies, it is amazing the age difference here. So hard to believe that grandma is 90 and still driving and doing awesome.

July 4th 5 weeks old

Today we went to visit Auntie Kim and we got to wear these cute new outfits they say Mommy's little firecracker. That shirt says it all. Hear is all three of us Timmy, Caylee, and Joey

Here is Timmy and Joey holding hands before they put Caylee between us.

It is so hard to believe that these babies are five weeks old. Time sure is going fast and the babies are changing all the time. They are eating like little pigs. Joey ate 2 1/2 bottles in like four hours. They are usually eating like every four hours. Joey is our gentle giant, he is mellow, but when he is hungry he will let you know. Timmy is the snuggler, he likes to just hang out. Caylee is the drama queen to the T, She will scream and scream and then the minute you pick her up she shuts it off. All of the babies are very good but their own personalities are definately coming through. Allie is still in the habit of stealing nuks from the babies, I went in the bedroom this morning and she was hiding something behind her back and low and behold she had Joey's nuk. Joey had been sleeping in the crib and stuck her hands through the bars and swiped it.
