It was just time....

Weston has such a cute little face, but the hair was starting to get a little out of control so we decided it was time for a hair cut. He didn't seem to mind it at first when he was in the high chair, but then when we took him out to get to the back of his head he sure didn't like it one bit! It was a team effort and it wasn't fun with a screaming baby, but we got the job done. I'm sure it would not pass the inspection of a professional, but it looked better in our eyes anyway.

After:




And what was Miles doing while his brother was being tortured -er I mean getting his hair cut?

Being photographed over and over by his favorite sister of course. I seriously have about 20 pictures of pretty much this exact picture. She gets a little camera happy. ;)

Cooper was next for a hair cut, and as you can see he didn't like it any more than Weston did! Haha!


Well, that was 2 months ago and now it is time for another haircut for Weston. I have been putting it off cuz it is so not fun, but it really needs done. Although, pulling up those pictures to put on here and seeing how long it really was makes me think we should be able to go for quite a while still cuz he hair isn't even half that long right now! If I could let it get that long once, why not again huh? ;)

My girl

Birkli is such a good helper to me with the babies. She is usually willing to help console one of them if he is crying and I am busy with the other one, she gets me wipes, diapers, binkis, burp cloths, etc. I am glad that she is so willing to help most of the time because it really is a lifesaver to me. She isn't always willing to help, especially if she is watching a tv show that she is really into or something, but for the most part she is pretty good.




Both of these pictures are of her helping Miles, she seems to help him the most, she always tells me that he likes her. She does help with Weston too, I just don't seem to have any pictures of her with him that I could find right off, plus he is a little crankier when he is cranky and she isn't able to soothe him as well so she doesn't do it as often. She really is a good big sister though and I'm glad that she seems to love all of her little brothers so much and I hope she continues to be a big helper to me and to them.

Blessings

We blessed our babies on Mother's Day and it was such a neat experience. I've never been to a blessing for twins before so that was kind of fun. Every single person in my family was there except for one brother-in-law so that was kind of neat to have them all there. Jeremy's mom came and two of his brothers and their families were there as well. We were thankful for a mostly nice day so that we could eat our lunch outside afterward since there just isn't enough room in my house for that many people. It was bittersweet though, to know that I won't be having any more sweet babies to have blessed. I just have to savor every little tiny moment with these two cuz I won't be having any more of these "firsts" moments.





Sorry for the poor quality photos. Another reason I hadn't posted about this yet is cuz my brother had taken some pictures with his fancy shmancy camera and I was going to wait until I saw those to post and use them instead, but since he is now the bishop in his ward, I'm thinking it will be a while before I see those pictures so this is what you get. ;)

Better pictures

Here are some better pictures of Coopers spots that he had. He looked pretty miserable for about a week. I am so glad they are all gone, I was kind of afraid that they might never go away and that he would look like that forever!

Poor Coopie

Cooper has been sick for quite a while now. For a long time it was just kind of a cough, no fever or runny nose or anything. But then it developed into a runny nose, a fever, and the cough. So we finally decided to take him in to the doc last Friday. According to the doc he had an ear infection in each ear and allergies. So we put him on some Amoxicillin and Zyrtec. Yesterday he woke up looking like this:





We thought maybe he had chicken pox or something, but after consulting with our doctor we have decided he must be allergic to penicillin. I guess he takes after his Momma. The poor thing though! I just feel so bad for him. He actually broke out even more since then. This is what his face looked last night when he was going to bed:



I need to take a picture of him in just his diaper cuz it is so bad all over him now! Poor kid! The doctor said it could take a week to clear up! Good thing we don't go anywhere lately!

Little Stinker

So the other night, Cooper feel asleep at dinner and since he has been kind of sick I decided to just let him sleep and I put him in his bed (this was at like 6:30). Then I put Birkli to bed at about 9 and at around 9:30 or 10 I went out to the kitchen to get medicine for Miles and saw that their bedroom door was open so I went in to see what was up. Well, at first I was a little concerned because Cooper wasn't in his bed so I quickly scanned the bedroom for him and wondered if he was in my bedroom and I hadn't seen him since I had already turned all the rest of the lights in the house off. Then I noticed that he was laying in bed next to Birkli all cuddled up and sound asleep. I thought it was so cute that they were snuggled together! I wish I could have taken a picture but it was dark and I knew it wouldn't have turned out. I am so glad that they love each other so much! For the most part Birkli is a pretty good big sister to him.

Yesterday Cooper totally grossed me out!! (for those of you that are sqeamish, you may want to stop reading here, but for some strange reason I want to remember this so I am recording it here) He was out in the rec room playing an x-box game and I was at the computer in my room trying to keep Miles content. Well, he came in and I could instantly tell that he was stinky so I stood up and told him to come with me to change his diaper. He didn't follow me so I went back to grab his hand and saw him grabbing funny at his pant leg and then all of the sudden a 'little nugget' came out of his pant leg. Right then I realized this was gonna be a messy one so I picked him up and carried him to the tub to clean him up. I am SO glad that I did that or I would have had poop all over my carpet! Apparently pull-ups don't hold a lot of poop! It was so thick, stuck all the way down his leg, it was impossible to get his pants and socks off without getting it on my fingers too! It only took about 20+ wet wipes to get him clean enough that I would let him take a bath and not have poopy water. Then when I went to clean out his pants (I did this in the tub too) I had the water running through the pant legs and logs came out! Seriously! I was so grossed out and very thankful I wasn't pregnant or I would have been in trouble! I spent about 45 minutes cleaning up him and his pants and the spots on the carpet between the rec room and bedroom! Of course the whole time I was doing that both babies were screaming at me! It was such a fun time for me! Oh that boy! If I didn't love him to death we would have a problem! ;)

Weston

For being the bigger baby all through the pregnancy, he sure did give up fast and decided to be the smaller one. He is still taller, but weighs less now. I love all of his dark hair and I love how it is so wild and crazy after his bath. He is a pretty happy boy and has even started giving us cute little smiles. He actually sleeps through the night which make his momma very happy! He has awesome blue eyes too and I hope they stay that way. He definitely likes to be held and as long as I am not busy or dealing with his little (younger) brother then I am totally ok with that. He is fed formula at night before he goes down for the night and Jeremy usually feeds it to him and I guess he has gotten used to that because I fed him a bottle the other night and he didn't want to go to sleep for me afterwords, but he always goes right to sleep when done eating if Jeremy feeds him. I guess that means Jeremy can't ever be gone at bedtime! :) He is such a cute and fun baby and I am the luckiest mom in the world to have these two babies belong to me! I was very scared when I found out I was having twins but I am so glad that I did! I can't imagine not having either one of them!
