Our old neighbors the Tzortzos stopped in to see Ethan and Emma

Vicki and her daughter Agatha dropped in to meet Emma and Ethan today. It was so nice to see them. It has been way too long since we got together. We have been very lucky and had great neighbors both at our old house and in the new house as well. Look out Agatha if you hold a baby too long you will be wanting one (or two) :-)

Where Twins Come From

Aunt Laura sent this and it was too cute I can't resist sharing. They are not Ethan and Emma, but they are cute.

Ethan & Emma's Aunt Polli sent this cute video of why babies needs Mommies. I have to say though that I do not have the issue the men in the video have.

Ethan and Emma celebrate their one month birthday

I can't believe it has been a month already. What a great month it has been. Click on the video to see Nanc and I singing them Happy Birthday, but I cannot be responsible for any hearing loss you get from my singing.

Ethan's no longer tongue tied

I guess gettng his frenulum cut wasn't too bad, since he is sleeping like a angel upon returning home. Frenulum is the medical term for the small translucent piece of skin that runs vertically under the tongue, When it attaches too far along the tongue it can cause issues, We made the decision to get it cut so that he could nurse better and not have speech problems when he starts talking. Since we did it so young all it did was bleed a few drops of blood. :Last week at the consultation the Dr. had stated that I could be in the room, but someone from his office would have to hold Ethan during the procedure. Today when he saw how relaxed Ethan was in my arms he let me hold him and pull his front lip down for the procedure. I was happy that I got to do it other than someone that he did not know. He was a trooper and only cried a few little cries and his tongue was much more mobile immediately. He can now stick it out his mouth like his sister.

It was a crazy morning though, as at 5:30 when I got up to feed the twins I heard a weird noise like water going through pipes and went to basement to find out that the hose to refrigerator icemaker had split and was spraying all over haalf the basement. So I had to clean that up before the Dr appt at 8:40. Soaked the sleeper sofa and a bunch of other stuff. At least I knew how to shut it off and we were able to make appt. on time. Everything is drying out as I type.

Aunt Jan, Uncle Dave and cousin Lauren come by to visit

Cousin Lauren was back from college and stopped by to see Emma and Ethan today. It was so nice for them to get to meet her.

Grandma S, Aunt Laura and cousin Logan dropped by

Here's Logan getting himself really into Ethan's new rattle. His birthday is next week and he will be 1 year old. He is sooo cute.

Notice Grandma S once again got Emma to eat all her formula. We have reduced her from 2oz. to 1.5oz and it seems to be helping with her spitting up after feeding.

Dad caught slacking off on baby watching

I was only being a good role model for sleep and acting the part. I was not sleeping... reallu mu eyes only look shut. I was keeing an eye on Ethan all the time.

Donna from Kohls came to visit Friday

Donna that I worked with at Kmart and then Koh's came by to meet Ethan and Emma. It was so good to see you. It has been too long since we got together. Donna was a natural with the twins.

Grandma and Grandpa G visit for Ethan and Emma's 3 week birthday

Ethan and Emma are 3 weeks old today. Their Grandma and Granpa G came in to visit and had lunch with us. Grandma G says she doesn't like newborn babies as they scare her, but she did great with both babies and quieted them both right down when they were fussy.

Ethan and Emma are growing so fast they don't even look the same this week. Ethan's little cheeks are all plumped up and now has a double chin. Emma is finally getting a little fat on her body and her cheeks are plumping up nicely. Emma is just over 6 lbs. now and Ethan is just over 7 lbs.
