My big boys...

This past week has been so eventful! I have been at home by myself with the boys for an entire week now. It has been really not too bad. The boys are pretty quiet most of the day. So, we have been having a lot of fun. For some reason they both have a melt down at about 5:00pm every day. But, since Chris is almost home by then, I don't have to endure it too long by myself.

We also did our first full bath this week. We have been previously just giving sponge baths since you have to wait for the umbilical cord to fall off for that. I was really impressed by both boys. They both really did well. There wasn't too much screaming. In fact, I don't think Cooper cried at all. He loved being in the water! Emory fussed a little bit, but as soon as he realized he could stay warm in the water, he quieted down. All in all, I think we really lucked out on that one! Who knows, maybe we have some swimmers on our hands. We have a lot of swimmers in the family so I know that they would be proud of that!

We did find a day care for the boys this week too. It is only until May when we have a very special nanny that will be taking care of the boys. But, we are very excited to find such a great facility so close to home that is affordable! And, it is a christian facility. So, they pray with the boys every morning and afternoon. They pray for all of the parents and children. I just think that is awesome! And, they give such a great twin discount that there are several families with twins there and one that has triplets. So, this will be a great resource for us!

I also got to go on my first outing with the boys by myself! I haven't driven my car in so long though that the battery was dead. But, I hooked up the battery charger and a couple hours later was back in the road! I am so excited to have a little freedom!! I took the boys to see one of my realtor friends and then to the pediatrician's office for their weigh in...And, they did great! They didn't have a melt down when I was visiting with my friend and they both did great at the doctor. Cooper is now bigger than Emory, but not by much. He weighed in at 6 pounds and 7 ounces and Emory weighed in at 6 pounds and 6 ounces. They are growing more than an ounce a day. So, the doctors are thrilled! We could tell they were getting big. They have already started to outgrow some of their clothes and socks. It has been really fun to watch them change every day!

Quote of the week from Chris: "My shins are really sore from all of that speed walking in Target." He is going to hate that I posted this, but I just think it is hilarious. We went to Target on Sunday morning (to try and beat the crowds and get back before the boys next feeding) and Cooper decided to have a melt down. We aren't sure why, but he would not stop crying. Chris was going to take him out to the car and try and feed him a bottle, when he noticed that he stopped crying when the stroller was moving quickly. So, being the awesome dad that he is, he speed pushed the stroller around Target while I finished up the shopping. We reconnected in the check out line and made it home just in time for his next feeding. So, he was happy after that.
