5 months ago...

Was January 18th.

Two beautiful baby boys were born weighing only 2 and 3 pounds.

Two proud parents unsure of how well their babies would progress.

We could never have imagined the joy that Bryce and Owen would bring to our lives today.

It is amazing (as we always say) that these boys have come so far in their short little lives. They are healthy, strong, and growing everyday. I have been enjoying my time off this summer tremendously. I love to play with the boys and watch them discover new things. Both of them are now eating cereal and loving it. They both decided to roll from their bellies to their backs this week, so tummy time is a little more difficult since they have discovered this new trick. They love books, music, and stroller rides.

I am looking forward to the next couple of months that I have off to watch them discover many new things. They are truly amazing and we can not imagine our lives without them. Everyone always assumes that life must be so difficult and challenging with twins. Honestly, we can say that it is extremely enjoyable 99% of the time. Having twins is a very overwhelming thought, but the reality is that life has not been as difficult as we ever imagined it to be.

Mommy and Daddy's little superheros.

Wanting all the cute girls to look at us.... in about 18 years :)

Messy, messy cereal faces:) (Owen/ Bryce) The date on the photos is obviously incorrect. Oops.

Update

Well the boys are nearing the five-month mark in a couple of weeks. What progress we have made just this week. They now sit in their bumbos and they are reaching for toys. Both are sleeping through the night and have been for about a month.

I swear when I come home from work everyday it seems like the boys gained at least a pound and grew an inch (I like to exaggerate). They both have grown significantly. Owen is now around 13lbs and Bryce is around 11lbs. At our last Dr. appointment we were amazed, as the boys have finally hit the growth chart. As you can see in the pictures Owens weight and height are in the 3rd percentile and his head is in the 50th. His new nickname is "Bucket Head".

Jamie is very excited and relieved as today was the last day of school and starting Monday she will be able to spend her days with them.

Picture Perfect

We took the boys to JcPenney to have their 3 month pictures taken. Needless to say, we were pretty impressed and had a difficult time picking which ones to buy. Take a look by clicking the link below and entering the password information.

Here are a few of our recent favorite pictures (not taken by a professional). The boys are sporting their first Buckeye outfits which won't fit them for long, but we will certainly find them something else to wear come football season! We also got a new jogging stroller, not that ANY jogging actually takes place while using it, but the boys do love walks in it, hanging out in it, and going to the race track to watch dad race (or try to race) his go cart.
