Mom & Dad...you don't need any sleep!

Not much to update other than mom and dad have recently been denied full nights rest

due to two cute babes who think they have to get up during the night and then are awake and want to play. Last night I worked a 3-11pm shift and got to bed around 1am, only to be woken at 3 by Nathan. I got him down at 3:45am (he wanted to play for awhile). As I laid him back in his crib, Ella decided she wanted to get up, so from 4am to 5am she was awake. They both then were up at 6:30am. Yeah.......not so great. So I should be napping right now, but after drinking my "pot" of coffee, I am rejuvenated!!!! I have to work a night shift tonight, so I am sure I will have another "pot" later!!!! Next update will be their dedication!

Nathan is happy in his bouncy seat

Yes..it is Janet Jackson playing in the background. Occasionally, I go back to my high school favorites.

Ella playing with mom

Thought I would put some video of Ella. Excuse my commentary. It is amazing what you will say or sing to get your kids to smile or giggle!

Go to sleep little baby!

Look at those lips when Ella is sleeping

Nathan can fall asleep any way in dad's arms

We just got back from Nathan and Ella's 4 month appointment. Nathan weighs 14lbs and 3 oz and is 23.5 inches tall. Ella is a little bigger at 15lbs and 5 oz and is 24 inches tall. The doctor says they're making all their milestones and said they're both healthy, happy babies. I don't know how happy they were after getting their shots. I think it gets harder to see them get shots as they get older. Ella cried and cried and tears flowed heavy. Luckily they are both exhausted and sleeping at present. Last time they did not get any fevers or reactions from the shots. I hope this time is the same. We are anticipating their dedication this weekend and wish that my family could be there. We plan to tape it and send it to them. These are the times when we wish we didn't live so far away from my family. I am sure we will have lots of cute photos to post after this weekend.

Nervous Nathan

Enjoy this little video of Nathan getting startled in his exersaucer. We cracked up laughing when we watched this.
