So yes I know, I have again gone down the road of not completing a task that I swore I would keep up with and I could come up with a millon and one excuses why, but the biggest is I can't get the plug-in for blogger to download onto MY computer and Davids computer drives me crazy. So I decided today I would allow myself to take an hour to get onto Blogger just to leave this really longgg blog. Be excited! =D
Sooo lets get our apples in a row here...I haven't been on here since April 4th. So since then the girls have turned one month....
At 4 wks, Katherine was started on Cereal. Because of her reflux the dr wanted to try this one last thing before having to go in and see whats going on internally (SCARY!) So basically its a gravity thing. The thickness of the cereal should (cross fingers) keep the formula down. Now I know I'm just back tracking here, but with just formula Kat was using a premmie nipple and going to a Y nipple for cereal choked her (more SCARY!) so we decided without dr permission to use a spoon, so by 5wks my little bit was using a spoon...and her hands...and her feet...but the good news is that it worked!!! Along with her sitting in her nap nanny!!
Then on May 7th, the girls turned 2 months old (please tell me where that time went...i would really like it back! on replay if possible!)
They have also become well traveled individuals! They have been in Bastrop, TX, Austin, TX, Dallas, TX, Shreveport, LA, Breaux Bridge, LA as well as local towns and we are looking at a possible trip up north to Ilinois...maybe Virgina!
They have also got to meet alot of their family by this time! They got to meet their Great Aunt and Uncle Kendell, Great Uncle Dan, Great Granna, of course their grand parents. Their Aunt Julia and various close close friends of the family!
During the last minute trip to Dallas (seriously last minute) the girls got to ride around the on the Tram and then got to meet their Uncle Shay who was in Iraq when they were born and was on a layover in Dallas for his permanant return! So that was really really awesome!!
Hes not proud at all!! =D
On May 21st the girls got to get in the pool for the first time! (pictures will be posted later!) They both enjoyed themselves very much! Katherine feel alseep in my arms and Callie kicked her legs and loved it when her Daddy poured water on her back lol
We also have been getting smiled at ALOT! Katherine was the first to smile (she seems to be first at everything even though she was born second!) but she was the last to get a picture of her smiling. Callie was VERY stingy with her smiles. She starting to let them slip to everyone but it still takes her time to do it. You have to be really funny to get that from her hahaha
Then this past monday it hit me....they turned 3 months old. Seriously where does this time go???
They are starting to sleep through the night on a regular basis. They have gone 9 hours between feedings 4 nights in a row, and for the past 2 weeks have gone between 7 - 8 hours every night. Its really great that since the cereal has started at 4 weeks they immediately started sleeping 6 hours a night so now going up to 9 hours is great for mommy and daddy!!
On another note, David is putting in for jobs back in Austin. We moved back not only because his job at Camp Swift was ending, but because I was already having a really hard pregnancy at 6 wks so coming back up here to be around family was a blessing. But now the girls are here and we have a great schedule going, its time we go back to where we left our heart. So cross everything in hopes that he lands a job at Mabry so we can go back down there. I know it will hurt my mom for us to leave, along with his parents, but any job he gets is better than the one he has and we truely miss it down there. So until the next time!! <3>

oh and just a quick update on their sizes! As of their 2 month check up Callie was 7lbs 2 oz, Katherine 6lbs 10 oz. They are both in newborn clothes and diapers and will probably be in the clothes for AT LEAST another month because most are HUGE on both of them!! =]
