A Whole New World!

A new fantastic point of view

These two were hilarious when I took them outside this morning. (pretty please disregard the mess in the background!!)  We just got these chairs last week, and sometimes they like them and others not so much.  Charlie almost always throws a fit after a few minutes.   But I needed to hang up the diapers and he was throwing a fit anyway so I figured I'd try to take them outside in the chairs and see what happened.   LOVE!  They looked and looked around.  Every so often I would look over and they would be staring at each other grinning and babbling.  It was hilarious!    And yes Adella is still a ham for the Camera.  Such a silly girl!

4 Months!

Adella and Charlie are 4 months now!  We are having so much fun with them and are loving watching their little personalities develop.  They go to the Dr next week, so we will find out their stats then.   They both are full of smiles and the occasional giggle which cracks me up every time!  They don't like naps and won't fall asleep unless they are being held, are in a swing or in the carseat.  Little stinkers.  But they sleep so good at night that I can't complain too much!  They are both sleeping through the night most nights, they are starting to wake up earlier which I think is because of the sun coming up, but usually we can still get them back to sleep for awhile.  (Working on blackout curtains!!!)

I love this one, they are checking out Adam, so funny!

 Miss Adella still LOVES to be swaddled.  She almost instantly calms down at night and falls right to sleep, no pacifier or anything.  Its seriously night and day difference between naps and bedtime!   She's starting to fit into some of her 3-6 month clothes.  She is super strong and can hold her neck up really well, she rolls from front to back occasionally and LOVES to sit and look around.  Sometimes when she is fussy I'll just pick her up and sit her next to me and she instantly calms down.

And the man of a million faces.  Charlie makes us laugh all the time, he always looks shocked at everything you do.  He perks up at the sound of our voices and gives a completely surprised look.   He is still sleeping in a sleep sack and we are hoping that will keep his movement under control as he doesn't know how to get from front to back but is a PRO at going from back to front.  We think he's going to be very analytical as he concentrates on things very hard, Adella seems more inclined just to act!  He's also looking like he might be a lefty! 

Super cheesy grin!

Shocking!

Blue!

The babies snuck onto the blue turf while we were in Boise!

Memorial Day Weekend!

I was going to post the pictures in separate posts, but decided it would be much easier just to do them all at once!  We had a wonderful time visiting my family in Ontario over Memorial Day weekend.  It was fun introducing the twins to my family as only my Parents had met them before.

 Here is my Grandma and Grandpa Heck with my dad.  Adella carries both their names, my Grandma's middle name is Adella and my Grandpa's name is Ray!

Aunt Kena and Adella had matching PJ's!

This is my cousin Lori's daughter Caitlin with Charlie.   

4 generations!  

Caitlin and Cameron with Adella and Charlie.  Adella and Charlie were born on Caitlin and Cameron's 8th birthday!  So fun!  My cousin Lori and I are only 2 weeks apart, so to both have twins born on the same day is super fun!

Here are the twins with their mommies!

The whole family that was gathered for a BBQ- there were quite a few cousins still missing, but it was fun to be able to see so many of them!

I think Grandpa kinda liked these two, here he's telling them "no no no" when they were getting fussy.

And we just had to give the babies a bath in Grandma's kitchen sink, because doesn't every baby need a bath in the kitchen sink?!!!

We had so much fun but its going to be some work getting these babies back to a reality where they aren't constantly held and played with!

First Flight!

The babies all ready for their first airplane ride!

They did very well on the flight, they only cried for a few minutes when they got tired and we were both able to get them to fall asleep!  I don't think we annoyed anyone around us, it helps that they are both so darn cute that people can't help but love them!  We  constantly had people telling us how adorable they were and many people would stop and talk to them to (one lady talked to them for like 5 minutes).   So glad we survived our first trip!
