Different Personalities

It is so neat to see how the girls are developing so differently. Alyssa has always been dubbed the "diva" she tells you whether she likes it or not and loudly. Audrey is the quiet one.....until today...they have switched roles on me and it's been interesting and fun.

I never get tired of seeing them side by side. Alyssa is the one wearing the "up all night" shirt. Because she was. Audrey and her sweet smile slept the whole night  through!!

Pictures from my phone...

Here is Audrey sitting for the first time in her Bumbo chair. She sat so nicely and didn't mind at all!

This was after a nap time. I always have them sleeping in their own cribs, but when they wake up at about the same time, I put them in the same crib and carry them out together back into the living room. THey were smiling a lot this day.

A little bit of google magic. I love how google takes several images and makes a little mini movie.

Found a head band and wanted to try it on Audrey. We're. NOT. Ready.

I think this is so funny the way she looks like she's just reclining. She was eyeballing her sister. Just looking and thinking.

Saturday Fun

Nap time is becoming more routine. Girls go down and sleep really well in their cribs.

Alyssa sleeps like Mommy. 

Well...so does Audrey...and she always wakes up smiling. 

Here's Daddy and his little mini-me...

Here we are trying to show how they have the same ears. Not a good angle, but if you see it you'd understand. 

Caught on video...

I realize that these aren't the best clips to demonstrate their giggles....we always think about it right at the end of their performing limits...but here are a few of their first giggles...

Mommy got her first giggles from Alyssa on Tuesday, August 12th and from Audrey on Wednesday, August 13th.

Giggles!!

Mommy got lots of giggles from Alyssa today!!! Oh what a happy sound! Audrey is so close. Any day now!!

She wasn't amused.....

.....and the Emmy goes to......

Alyssa!

So hilarious that she's started doing this!!!

We are 3 months today!!

We are 3 months today!

We are getting into more of a routine. We can sleep about an 8 hour stretch at night, but still need that one snack to make it all the way to breakfast at 7am!

We weigh 11lbs 2oz (Audrey) and 12lbs 4oz (Alyssa). Our hands are fascinating and tasty!

Alyssa has been heard giggling briefly at Nana. And Audrey loves to snuggle with her fluffy friends. 

We already love our Noles!!!!

Very much like their Daddy...

I think we have a problem....The girls like to watch Sports Center on ESPN after breakfast like their Daddy. We were talking and playing and next thing I knew their eyes were glued to the tv.

We will have to pay attention to this for sure!!!!

First Time in our cribs!

We napped for the first time in our cribs today. No assigned beds yet. We slept a LOOONNNGGGG time. Our "2 hour afternoon nap" turned into a 3 hour nap. We were tired! And we enjoyed our beds a lot! 

Thank you Aunt Kathleen and Uncle David, Mimi and Papa for the mattresses, Nana and Poppy for the sheets and matching homemade pillows. And Nonna for the crib friends (rabbit and lamb). 

A little Cheat Sheet.

12 weeks old and just look at those cheeks will ya?!! I mean really! So squishy!

Here's a cheat sheet to help y'all see the differences. 

We're having fun and figuring out a schedule. Both girls smile and I can tell they have a giggle just waiting for that perfect moment!

Here is Audrey test driving Aunt Mary's (and cousins) gift. Allen said she just needs a helmet and steering wheel. She really enjoys helping me cook in the kitchen.
