Wesley & Audrey are Four Months(!)

Whoa, whoa, whoa there little babies. This is COMPLETELY out of hand. Why are you intent on growing so fast when I specifically told you I needed you to knock it off! Stinkers!
As much as I don't miss the middle of the night feedings I already am missing the teenyness of a newborn. Especially teeny five pound newborns that I was blessed to bring home from the hospital with me. Don't get me wrong, I am LOVING the smiles and laughs and fat rolls on these now four month old babies but since they are my last babies it's bittersweet. I joked with my coworkers the other day that I want to volunteer at a hospital just to hold newborns. Little did they know I was not even remotely joking. I just love little bitties.
Anyway, moving on!
These little big babies are getting interested in everything in the world around them. Normally if Todd isn't available to help feed them I use two Boppy's and prop up their bottles with blankets. Well now that their little curious heads dash from left the right at a rapid pace just to see what's going on it's getting challenging. Just keeping me on my toes I guess, goodness knows it's not like I have to get myself of two other children ready in the mornings before we can leave.
We are working on Wes' head. Oh my goodness is he stubborn! He squirms out of everything! I bought him a little beanie hat that is supposed to help keep him of the flat side and he lays on it anyway. It cannot be comfortable but there he is, snoozing away. Grrr. We'll keep at it though, and the more time during the day he'll now spend in an exersaucer or bumbo will help tremendously. We hope. You can't tell by these pictures (I took them outside and he was unimpressed with the heat) but Wes is the smiliest boy! His gummy little smile just melts my heart.
Miss Audrey is divine. I mean, what can I say about her? She is perfect. Sleeps like a champ, rarely cries and is ridiculously cute.
I mean, look at her!!
Love.
Well that's all I have for tonight. Their four month checkup is Monday and I'll share their stats then. They both had specialists visits the past couple weeks and Wes was close to 15 pounds and Audrey was right at 14. We'll see what the official weigh in says on Monday. Until then - here are the loves of my life.
