I know, I know....

I still plan on posting "A Day in the Life of Twins"....

Baby Food

Have you ever wondered what baby food taste like? Well I have been very curious the last couple of days. Last time we went to the doctor, he told us it was about time for us to start food. He gave us a list of what to feed them and what not to feed them and that's about it. 

Side note - It's amazing how people (doctors/nurses) just assume that you know how to do everything. I noticed it when I was in the hospital. The doctors and nurses know exactly what to do but they never stopped to think that I was a new mother and had NO clue. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED my doctor and the nurses that I had. I guess it's just because they do the same thing everyday. 

Anyway, back to what I was talking about. Baby food. Now that my babies are eating I had to make a decision on what kind of food I wanted them to eat. Organic, regular baby food or make my own. I thought since I am off for summer I would try to make my own. I think I have officially talked myself out of that option. (I'm an awful cook). Organic or regular baby food. I want the best for my babies so my first thought is organic. Organic food is more expensive. Sometime I wonder what the difference is. Well, I know what the difference is but I just wonder if it makes that big of a difference. 

Right now the babies are eating Earth's Best baby food. It is organic. So far we have a VERY picky girl and a boy that will eat anything! First we tried rice cereal. He loved it, she hated it. I thought, let's add some bananas. He loved it, she hated it. Next I tried oatmeal. He loved it, she hated it. Bananas and oatmeal?! He loved it, she hated it. Ok...well apples and oatmeal. He loved it, she hated it. That is as far as we have gotten. The doctor told us to feed one type of food at a time to make sure that they don't have a reaction to something. Next I will try pears. 

Any suggestions on what to feed my sweet baby girl?

What do you think about Baby Wise? 

4 Months old!?!

Avery and Maddux were baptized on Easter. It was such a special day and they looked super cute too!

Don't I have the cutest, most adorable children??

This picture was taken right before Kellen and I went to Evening in Maroon.

The babies went to the doctor on Thursday for their 4 month well visit. Can you believe they are 4 months old already. Time really does fly. :o( 

Avery Clarke Farmer

14.2 pound, 24 3/4 inches

The doctor said she was doing great. Avery is our little drama queen (cries like she is dying when she is hungry) but is still so sweet. She still loves to cuddle and her head fits nicely on my shoulder. Some of Avery's new tricks (I feel like I'm talking about a dog) are rolling from stomach to back, holding meaningful conversations, and standing while being held. She is taking 6 oz. of formula about 5 times a day. Most of her chubbiness is found in her legs. She gets that honestly. Even though it doesn't look like it, she is getting hair on the top of her head. I think she is going to be strawberry blonde. Her eyes are still blue. 

 

Maddux Jett Farmer

14.5 pounds, 25 5/8 inches

The doctor said he was also doing very well. Maddux is a very laid back baby most of the time unless he is hungry. He also loves to cuddle but is much easier to put down without being woken up. If the boy has his paci in his mouth, he is down for the count. He rolled from his stomach to his back two days before his sister. He loves to talk to anyone who will talk to him. He is starting to laugh out loud and it is so adorable. I can get Avery to also if I try really really hard. :o) Maddux is starting to enjoy the exersaucer but can't take it for to long. His hair is also red and he has a natural mohawk. His eyes are still blue. 

15 weeks

Can you believe it! 15 weeks. Here are some pictures of the most adorable babies ever! The pictures are backwards but you get the point! 

I promise, Avery does smile. We just couldn't get her to smile for the camera...

Baby Einstein! They watched this for 30 whole minutes! It was crazy!

They are doing so well sitting in their Bumbos!

Braves season opener! GOOOO Braves!

Cute pictures

It's been awhile!

I feel like I am always moving! The babies are now 11 weeks old and they are growing everyday!!! I am trying to take pictures every monday to document how they change every week. I started at 8 weeks. Here is Avery. Avery is such a sweetheart. She is still smaller then Maddux but is MUCH louder! Her hair is coming in nicely on the top of her head and I think that I will be able to put a bow in her hair soon! She also loves The Ellen Show. It's one hour during the day that you can expect Avery to be quiet!

Here is Maddux. He is so funny! He is a chuck (check out the double chin) and looooooves to talk all the time. He is constantly moving. He loves to play on his exercise mat and look at the blinking star that plays music. 

Here are some more pictures that I've taken throughout the last couple of months!

Sweet Avery

Maddux taking a nap on his exercise mat!

Maddux spitting up on his daddy!...

Hanging out in their boppies (boppys). This is where they watch TV.

This picture almost makes me cry. This is right after they got their shots. If you look closely you can see the bandaids on each leg. They were SO sleepy that afternoon.

Thing 1 and Thing 2

Happy Family!

Bonding.

One Month Old!

On January 29th the babies were one month old! I know I'm a little late but can you believe it?!? It doesn't seem like a month ago when we were in the hospital waiting for their arrival. Thank you to everyone that came to greet our beautiful babies into the world. Even though I didn't get to see half of the people there, it still warms my heart to know that so many people love my children. 

This month has been a crazy month. It has been a lot calmer then I would have ever thought. Tonight has been the first night were we have been ganged up on by both babies. I FINALLY got Avery to sleep and now I'm sitting in the living room with Maddux trying to get him to sleep. I'm sure as soon as I get him to sleep Avery will be waking up hungry.  

I will leave you with a couple recent pictures of the babies and a few interesting facts about each of them!
