Wrestling/rolling over...almost

Rolling over is a new milestone that I know my boys will begin doing soon. Spencer rolled over when he was 5 days old, but hasn't done it much since. I usually have to start him now to get him to do it. I have been practicing with both boys on how to roll over to show them how to do it. Sometimes they think it is fun, and sometimes not... They have really done well with each milestone so far and I don't think they are lagging behind in anything. Our doctor says not to fret if they don't do everything on time since they were a little early, boys and twins. He says all those things are stacked against them...well not if I have anything to say about it! =)

Each day I make sure they boys have some interaction time together. While they are noticing one another, they don't really play together yet. Most of the interactions they have is hitting each other in the face when they are swinging their arms in delight on their play mat. Sometimes they try and eat each other's hands when it touches their mouth. It is so cute! Here are some pictures of their play time together yesterday. We were practicing rolling over and I thought we could roll on each other. They thought it was fun! I know this is the first of many wrestling pictures I will get...

What is going on?

I want to get him!

Love it!

The boys looked so cute at church yesterday. Here are them playing with Matt before we left yesterday.

Fun Fun Fun

Having so much fun!

We have had some great weather and fun weekends! We spent a lot of weekends in March in Birmingham. It was a lot of fun, but traveling even 2 hours is hard with twins. They love their beds and like to nap when they want. Last weekend was A Day here in Auburn. We went and walked around campus, had a picnic lunch, and saw the new basketball arena. It makes me excited for the boys to get older and enjoy seeing the eagle and Aubie. I can't wait for them to say "War Eagle Hey!" for the first time! Tomorrow my parents and Justin are coming down. Saturday is Cityfest and I can't wait! It is a big outdoor arts and crafts show. I had a booth in it 2 years ago, but this year we are going to go walk around and have a picnic lunch! I hope the weather holds out for us!

We are battling with our first cold this week. It is horrible! I hate to see them not feel well. At least it is not affecting their sleeping. We have now slept through the night for ONE WEEK!! Right now they are eating every 3 1/2 to 4 hours and usually eat around 4 :30 or 5. We get baths around 6:30 and then they are so ready to go to bed by 7 to 7:30. We wake them up for their last feeding around 9 or 9:30. I know most people say DO NOT WAKE A SLEEPING BABY! But right now this is what is working. After that feeding, they will sleep until 5ish or even 6:30 like they did today! Matt and I feel like new people!

Shep and Spence are laughing out loud for the past couple of weeks! We are going to try and get it on video soon! it is so precious! Shep laughs at bath time every night. He loves not to have on clothes and thinks it is too funny! They both laugh during the day, but I can't video them while holding 2 babies!

They have been noticing each other for a while now, but never at the same time! This past week, they both looked at each other at the same time, smiled and cooed! It was such a special moment...I got teared up. Since then, it has happened at least once a day. It is going to be so much fun through the years to watch their friendship grow. I love my sweet Shepherd and Spencer so much!

A Day in Auburn


While walking back to the car, we saw the new Auburn basketball coach. Shep and Spence were very excited to meet him!! =)

Sweet Moments with Twins

Mornings are my favorite time. Both Shepherd and Spencer are in good moods and all smiles. This past Tuesday I heard jabbering over the monitor during their morning naps and this is what I walked into...
