One Month Old!

It is completely crazy that Madilyn and Carter are a month old today!

Things have been a little busy around our house - but here is a little highlight of Madilyn and Carter's first month.

Madilyn:
*She is alert, and doesn't want to miss a thing - and therefore doesn't always want to go to sleep after she eats.
*She loves to stretch after waking up from sleeping, and arches her back and makes really funny faces. Rob and I say she sometimes looks like a duck because of how she puts her lip out.

Carter:
*Is a completely relaxed baby. We feed him, burp him, and he pretty much goes right back to sleep.
*Has become very alert of things around them - not only our voices, but things with colors as well

Both:
*really like being in their car seat - which means they both like being in the car and running errands with Mommy and Daddy, and they also like going for walks in the neighborhood
*are sleeping in our room in a pack and play. Rob and I had said before they were born they would go right to the nursery - but Mommy changed her mind once the babies got here! (I promised Rob they would be out of our room by the time they turned 2..)
*Have been to the doctor twice. We went to the doctor the day after we left the hospital, and then went back for a two week check up. We don't go back to the doctor until they are 2 months old!
*are becoming more aware of their hands and sometimes suck on them. They still don't have complete control of their arms, but they aren't flinging them around quite as much as they were in the beginning, but they are still working on having total control.
*have a love/hate relationship with the bath. It just depends on the day if they are happy or sad that they have to take a bath.

Tonight Rob and I weighed the babies with our fancy scale we bought. As of tonight, Madilyn weighs 7.8 lbs, and Carter weighs 8.2 lbs. Of course, those are not official weights, but needless to say, they are growing!
