Funny girls

Lyla totally has a smirk! She does it instead of smiling sometimes. I think its so funny.

Another classic. Pressy and her tongue!

Smiling at Daddy!

Tonight I took the pictures while David made them smile. It was so cute! They just kept smiling and smiling. Taking pictures of smiles was NO problem!

Story time with Daddy

Our night time routine consists of a bath (every other night), bottle, swaddle and put in crib, story time, prayer time, sleep time!
Here is a picture of Daddy reading to the girls, and then a pic over the side of the crib of the little sleepy heads.

2 Months Old!

I took their 2 month pictures this afternoon before David got home. I am going to try to take them again with his help to see if I can get both girls smiling. I couldn't pick my favorite, each was beautiful for one reason or another, so I'm going to post them all! Notice how red Pressy's hair looks! And in one pic Lyla is holding her head up so well!

Shhh, babies sleeping

The girls slept like this for about an hour and a half Thursday afternoon. They are on the floor, sharing one boppy.

Lyla Smiles!

Finally caught on camera!

Not the best pictures,a but beggers can't be choosers!

Pressley Smiles!

For some reason she is much easier to catch on camera.

CIO = Cry It Out

I talked to Lorren for a while today and she said she let Savannah "cry it out" today. Meaning, at naptime she let her cry til she fell asleep. It was about 20 minutes! And, Savannah is only 3 weeks old! So, I thought if Lorren can do it with her 3 wk old, I can do it with my girls. So, I just tried. Pressy went right down, didn't even make a peep and Lyla cried for 7 minutes, talked to herself for a little while and fell asleep!!

I just had to share, I'm so proud of myself for being able to handle it. Its so hard to listen to your baby cry. But I know its good for her, she will learn to sleep on her own.

Also, last night the girls slept BY THEMSELVES in their CRIB!! I slept in the glider in their room just in case they needed me, but they did great! They went down around 11, woke up at 4 and then slept again til 7. Usually I feed them (sometimes they don't even eat, i just give them a pacie) at 7 and put them right back to bed and they sleep until 9. If they do eat, they just eat a little bit. Anyway, today I got them up to start the day. I want to try and get them to go to bed before 11. We'll see if waking up earlier helps.

They are almost 2 months old, they should be getting close to sleeping trough the night and all these steps will help get us there. Pray for us though, its not easy. The worst part is just hearing them cry.

Bathtime!

I told you Lyla loved bathtime. You can see for yourself! She kept trying to drink the water -- but she didn't mind water on her face and in her eyes.

We planned to take video of Pressley too, but Lyla was screaming in the background (she was HUNGRY!) so we didn't tape very long. Next time...

2 great pictures!

I check several blogs of other multiple moms and one of them does "Wordless Wednesdays" where all she does is post a great picture. Its not Wednesday, and I have more than one picture to post. But they are both perfect!!!

Waking up this morning

I put the girls on our comforter as they woke up this morning. Pressy first, then Lyla joined and did her exercises. Made for some cute pics!

Sleeping girls

The girls sleep in a few different places. On their bellies (their favorite way to sleep!) on the couch, in the pack in play or on our bed. They NEVER sleep on their bellies at night, as much as they may want to. We let them nap on their bellies if we are in the room. Sleeping on their bellies is a SIDS risk, so I always have my eye on them. They also like to sleep in their swing, in the porta crib, on a boppy or in their bouncy seat. And they LOVE to sleep in Mommy or Daddy's arms! So, pretty much anywhere.
Lyla in the porta crib

Pressy in the swing. Look at that tongue!

Thank you ABBY!

She told me how to make my pictures smaller so I will be able to update my blog more often. All of you who enjoy my blogging should thank her! Although I bet you enjoy the pictures of the girls more than my excellent blogging skills. But, I'm ok with that.
