We Skyped

Last night Charlie and Adella Skyped Grandma & Grandpa Button.  Really all by themselves!

OK, Maybe they had a little help, but it was pretty funny to have only them in front of the computer when we called our favorite missionaries.   Grandma and Grandpa got a kick out of it too!

Just Because

Just because they are so darn cute, and because I needed some happiness on Monday (I had minor surgery), I had to take more pictures.  I know there are at least 4 readers (grandma's and grandpa's) who don't get sick of pictures, so here you go!!   (I don't know why I couldn't get Charlie to smile, he is becoming difficult now on camera, reminds me of someone else I know!  He's definitely ALL BOY!)

 I've been catching these two holding hands lately, but never can get it on camera.  I don't know if its on purpose or they just like grabbing things!  Whatever the case, its so darn cute when it happens!

Three Months!

These guys hit three months on Saturday, so of course we had to do a little photo shoot!

Adam was trying to get them to smile, he mostly succeeded in getting them to look away from the camera!  

Do you notice the red marks on Charlie's arms and legs?  Those appeared RIGHT as we put him down to do the photo shoot.  It was so strange, they appeared out of nowhere.   For the next day or so, they would randomly appear and then go away just about as quickly.  We're pretty sure they were a wierd manifestation of a virus the twins both must have had.  Adella had woken up Friday night with a slight cough and stuffy nose.  She also had a fever of 101.4!  Scared us a little bit!  We called our Dr's triage nurse and they had us give her baby tylenol (thank goodness we had some) and then we went to see the Dr the next day, by then no fever and she didn't act sick.  Charlie never acted sick either and these rashes or whatever didn't seem to bother him.  Nothing like getting sick to celebrate your three month birthday!

Little Miss Adella has learned a lot over the last month!   She's started "laughing" though the sound isn't there all that much yet, she usually will let out one giggle and then keep her mouth open real wide like there's more there, she just can't get it out!  She has a very very strong neck and rolled over for the first time last week!   In the last week she has also discovered her voice.  What started out as some sweet little coos has turned into full blown strong loud words!   She has a LOT to say apparently!   She still loves to be swaddled and calms down almost instantly when she is wrapped up.   She still has a hard time falling asleep for naps.   She started swatting at things (Charlie was first though) and loves her brother!  Since she got to go to the Dr on Saturday her 3 month weight was 11 lbs 4 oz.

This little man is so funny.  He's become all smiles lately and I just love his big toothless grin.  Its hard to get on camera, but its super cute!  He's not as talkative as Adella, but I can tell its coming!  He does get a kick out of listening to Adella talk, I've caught him a few times just grinning at her as she talks, its pretty darn cute!    Charlie isn't a fan of being swaddled anymore, so he sleeps in a sleep sack and loves it!   He sleeps all through the night pretty much every night (we still have to go calm Adella down quite often).    He is very good at hitting his toys on his play mat and making them sing.  He concentrates very hard and makes a purposeful effort at it, Adella just swats and hopes she hits it!   Its really fun seeing some of the differences come out in these two!

Roll over

Adella rolled from front to back for the first time this week!  She's only done it once but gets close every time.  She is soooo strong and holds her head up really well!

(Almost) 3 months!

Today since it was a "little" chillier here, I was able to put an outfit on the babies that had pants.  After I did it I had to laugh because it was the same outfits that we brought the babies home from the hospital in nearly 3 months ago and they are still a little big!   Don't judge me, we had no idea what to bring and no frame of reference for how baby clothes fit!  

First 3 pictures are 4 days old

And two days shy of 3 months!

Yes someone is a complete ham for the camera, and notice how much Charlie has filled out!
