The twins are finally going to be blessed in church this week. We wanted to wait a while before bringing them to church and also for all the family coming out of town, we wanted it scheduled for a weekend that Adam has a concert. Unfortunatly, this concert is the Glory of Sounds series and he is busy every night Thursday thru Sunday. It is a wonderful concert! A little pricey, but its the main scholarship fundraiser of the year and because Adam is a reciepiant of those scholarships- you should attend!! : ) Anyways, our families from out of state are coming Thursday and Friday with those in state coming up Saturday. Its a busy weekend and I am excited to see my Dad who lives in Maryland!!
So onto the twins! Both of them have started to laugh and smile within the last week or two. The other night I woke up at 2 am to feed Bradley and as soon as I picked him up he got this huge grin and didn't want to eat at all! He just giggled and smiled and was kicking around. It deffinitly makes getting up in the night worth it but listen buddy! It's 2 am so you should eat and then we'll play in the morning! Haha. His favorite bouncer is one that rocks and when you put him on the linoleum in the kitchen he really gets going! He kicks his feet like he's peddling a bike and he rocks like crazy! Every time I try to record it he stops rocking and then when I put the camera down he starts again.
Kiersten is finally out of newborn clothes! She reached 8 pounds this week and Bradley is 12. She constantly smiles and is a daddy's girl. She doesn't develop as fast as Bradley but then again he is 1/3 bigger than her! It is so fun to put her in tons of dresses now that she fits 0-3 so for Thanksgiving and this Sunday when we went to the Doughmans, she was wearing a dress!
We had such a great Thanksgiving with the Doughman family this year! We played flag football in the morning, played games and did crafts and had cinnamon rolls after, and then ate a huge meal later that day. After dinner one of their traditions is to do a family talent show. The oher two families did skits and Adam played his trumpet- I watched : )
After the talent show we gathered around the piano as Stacy played piano and Adam played the trumpet and we all sang Christmas carols. It was such a great night!!
OK, so the picture of day for the blog is this one
I put them into bed with me when Adam gets up for work or school ( he normally gets up at 3 for work but till Christmas its 1:30) So after I do mostly the only feed in the night they come to bed where they sleep longer. However, The last couple of nights Kiersten has slept all night until or 7. Now we just need to get Bradley to do that! Anyways, Bradley is mostly the one who loves to snuggle Kiersten but the other day they both were hungry and I went to get their food ready and when I came back, Kiersten was sucking on the back of his head and he was screaming. It was so cute and I just started laughing.
first of all....way adorable picture!!!! so cute!! and that sounds like an awesome thanksgiving....a classic. And you know Bradley probably won't sleep through the night the whole time he's breastfeeding, my two bottle fed babies slept through the night by about two months old, but my Katie, the only one i breastfed woke up at least once just to nurse all the way till i stopped when she was 11 months old, and when i stopped nursing, she stopped waking up at night...so good luck with him sleeping! I'm glad to hear everyone is feeling better, i am so so so sorry if we got you sick while you were here! But i loved the short visit we had! miss you guys!
