{one month}

the past month has absolutely flown by.  the month has been filled with feedings, diaper changes, and three to four hour (at most) stretches of sleep for both mama and the twins. while i'm definitely sleep deprived, we all are adjusting quite well. the twins are so good. they rarely cry and if they do it's usually because they both want to eat at the exact same time. the older kids are generally very helpful and adore their little brothers.
we went for their one month check up and they both weighed 8lbs 8oz so they are gaining a good amount of weight. easton is slightly taller and his head is a little bigger too. he is 21in tall and Graham is 20in tall. they both are starting to be awake more and like to be held. they have started to lose their hair...especially on top of their head. :( 


before they were born i entered a contest for newborn pictures with traci shupert photography and i actually won. she is still working on their gallery but has done a sneak peak on her blog. you can see them here. i love, love, love the pictures. it was such a blessing to win and we will treasure these photos for years to come!

kenna and greyson wanted to help feed the babies so badly so i pumped so they could help. the boys took the bottles like champs.  it was a nice break for me too! :)

we've also been blessed by our friends, family, and church. we have been given meals for the month of feb, gifts for all four kids, and lots of visits.

the first month as a family of six has been exactly like i envisioned. we are blessed!
