Christmas 2010

Thank you everyone for all the wonderful presents. Cooper and Charlotte are now techies. Between Santa and friends and family they now own 1 laptop, 2 cell phones, a blackberry, 2 stuffed puppies with USB ports and a portable dvd player. (Mostly Fischer Price and Leapfrog brands.)

Thanksgiving 2010

Cooper and Charlotte celebrated their first Thanksgiving at Aunt Jill’s house this past weekend. Food was yummy, and they each had their first helping of turkey. I think they were also offered some pumpkin pie when I was not looking. Cooper is also cutting three more teeth. Two at the top and a third in the bottom.

There's a heatwave in Cincinnati....

but we're so cool we have to wear shades.....

Happy 4th of July!!!!

Cooper and Charlotte celebrated their first 4th of July this past weekend. We went to the neighborhood parade and cook-out and then had a few friends over for dinner. Cooper and Charlotte fell asleep before the fireworks began, but maybe next year they will stay up late enough to see them.

Two Months Old Update

Time flies….Cooper and Charlotte are already two months old. Both babies are sleeping in approximately 4 hour increments as of now. Hopefully by the 3 month update we will be sleeping for longer than that. The children are becoming more active each day. Cooper loves playing on his activity mat, while Charlotte thinks it’s stupid. Charlotte’s favorite activity is practicing standing which makes us believe that she will be mobile before we know it.
We visited the pediatrician yesterday and were given the following stats for each baby:
Cooper: 9lbs 12oz (10% percentile), 1 ft 9.5 inches (6% percentile), 15 inch head circumference (12% percentile).
Charlotte: 8lbs 13 oz (7% percentile), 1 ft 8.25 inches (1% percentile), 14.5 inch head circumference (7% percentile).

Here are pictures of them at 2 months in their Bumbo seats:

Bath Time!

Tonight was bath night. If it's possible, Charlotte seems to dislike bath time even more than Kramer. But she sure seems happy when it's over. Pictures below of Cooper and Charlotte in their new bath towels. They're in bed now with full bellies and should sleep till after midnight.

First Photo Shoot!

Things are going well!! Kids are eating and doing great. Will write again with more details soon but wanted to share some pictures from their first photo shoot.
