The First Meal

Gavin and Logan had their first taste of rice cereal last Sunday.  They didn't care for it, Bowser loved it.  Actually, it went about as well as we expected.  Both of them were confused by the spoon and it was quite entertaining to see them try to figure out what they were supposed to do.  Neither of them really cared for the cereal and pushed it out of their mouths with their tongues.  I'm pretty sure they ended up with more food on their faces than in their stomachs.

 Feeding Logan

 "What is this stuff all over my face?"  Logan

 Feeding Gavin

 "This isn't too bad." Gavin

Bowser decided that it was his job to polish off the rest of the cereal. 

Gavin and Logan have already gotten so much better with eating from a spoon.  Every time we feed Gavin he gets a confused look on his face after the first spoonful.  Logan likes to eat his hands while eating his cereal and ends up making a big mess.  He sneezed yesterday while he had a mouthful of food and it went all over me.  Luckily, it was fifteen minutes before I had to leave for work.  I'm sure my customers appreciated the dried cereal in my hair.

 Messy faces.  Logan left, Gavin right

4 Months!

I can't believe that tomorrow Gavin and Logan will be four months old.  It seems like just yesterday we were setting our alarms to wake up and feed them every three hours, and now we got the okay to start cereal.  They had their 4 month check up today and their doctor is still impressed with how well they are doing, how healthy they look and how big they are getting!  Gavin is 26 in long and in the 87th percentile for height, he is going to be tall like his dad.  He weighs 14lbs 3oz which is a big difference from 5lbs 5oz at birth.  Logan is 25in long, which is the 58th percentile for height and we are guessing he will be tall too.  He weighs 13lbs 12oz.  Now I know why my entire body hurts after I carry them around in their carseats.

They also got shots today and it went pretty well.  We gave them bottles as soon as they finished and that seemed to calm them down, plus it put them to sleep.  Gavin managed to avoid poking himself in the knee with the needle this time, which is always a plus.  Logan decided that he would like to smile and coo while drinking one of the medications and wound up with a decent amount of it on his chin.  Both boys only cried for about a minute when the shots were done, but they are certainly becoming loud when they cry. 

In the past week both boys have really improved on holding their heads up.  Gavin is perfectly fine with tummy time now that he can hold his head up and look around.  He can last a pretty long time.  Logan still doesn't like tummy time but will look around and hold his head up if he is propped up on a pillow.  We also got a few giggles out of them this past week and I'm really looking forward to when they start to laugh!

The adjustment with Galen going back to school is going pretty well so far.  We split alternate nights for getting up with the babies.  Whenever it's Galen's turn they seem to wake up right when he has to get up for class and I end up getting up anyways.  And when it's my turn Logan usually wakes up at 4 or 5am.  The other night they both slept for 9.5 hours and it was wonderful.  Other than that, things are going well.  I'm managing to stay busy during the day and have been taking the boys to visit various people. 

Happy half way to St. Patty's Day!!  Love, Logan and Gavin

Wordless Wednesday (A little early again)

Wordless Wednesday

It's That Time Again...

Well, fall is here.  I feel as if it made its arrival a bit early this year, but there is nothing to be done about it.  On Friday when the cold weather hit, Galen and I assumed that it was only temporary and it would go away.   Here we are, three days later and it's still cold.  And this is where the problem starts...

Gavin and Logan are still in 0-3 month clothes and probably will be for a few more weeks.  Their wardrobe consists of cute summer clothes.  Shorts, t-shirts, little summer outfits and three outfits that have long sleeves.  Yes, only three items with long sleeves.  And their next size of clothes isn't much better.  So yesterday, we made a mad dash to Target to pick up fleece sleepers and fleece outfits.  I spent today ordering sweatshirts, long sleeved onesies and fleece sleepsacks.

I'm not entirely sure why I didn't have any of these items on hand.  I've lived here for four years now, I know that the weather is insane and switches daily.  Perhaps I thought Mother Nature would cater to Gavin and Logan's adorable summer clothes?  As sad as it is that they can't wear anymore summer outfits, I'm holding out hope that we will still get one more week of summer.

Fleece PJ's, Fleece sleepsacks and hats.  Yep, it's cold! Gavin front, Logan back.
