As you might imagine, there are lots of firsts happening at our house these days, for both the babies & the parents. Jake & Mallory had their first baths at home on Wednesday of last week, & neither of them liked it very much. Here's Jake demonstrating his lung capacity:
Mallory cried too but resigned herself to her fate after a few minutes.
Here's Jake's first bath experience, with instruction by Mimi:
Immediately after this bath, Jake blessed me with a first as a mommy: getting peed on. I was drying him off & preparing to dress him when he shot a stream straight up to my face. Luckily, I closed my mouth a split second before this little present hit me in the chin. What fun!
These two are from last night's baths. The
Hibbetts &
Ezzells gave them these adorable hooded towels. Jake is a little unsure about being a cow.
Mallory is a cute little
chickie!
The babies have both started smiling more in the last few days, especially in their sleep. Please don't leave any comments telling me that it's just from gas. I don't care if that is the case - it's still super cute!
These two pics are off topic, but I'll go ahead & include them in this post. Rae & Hattie both stopped by yesterday...
and then Michelle came to visit today.
Jake & Mallory have also learned what the
Chamblee family's favorite evening pastime is: watching TV. They don't seem quite as into it as the rest of us. Pops' lap makes a great lounge chair for Jake.
Mallory prefers Daddy's chest.
Here's another first for me. I've learned to hold two babies at once. Double the sweetness!
The twins' first time to have their nails filed was very necessary. Those things are sharp! Neither of them seemed to mind too much, so I was thankful for that.
Jake was ashamed of the shape his nails were in.
We look forward to many more firsts!
And Jake:
We went to the pediatrician yesterday for their two-week appointment, & they are both growing! Jake now weighs 6 lb 2 oz (5th percentile) & is 19 inches long (10th percentile). His head measures in the 15th percentile. They had to get their heels pricked for their PKU screening, & they were NOT happy about that. Look how pathetic his little foot looks with that huge band-aid on it!
Mallory gave the nurses her best "Why are you torturing me?" scream. She now weighs 5 lb 3 oz (-3rd percentile) & is 18 1/4 inches long (-3rd percentile). Her head measures in the 8th percentile.
Here they are in their cute outfits, ready to go see Dr. Halsell.
Just a cute shot of my three favorite people:
Aren't they precious?
J & I celebrated our first two weeks' success with a dinner out at Pappasito's. Nana was sweet to watch the munchkins for us. When we got home, we all went for our first walk around the neighborhood with the babies. J & Nana figuring out how it all fits together:
They could hardly contain their excitement!
The Chamblee family of four:
Have a great Labor Day!
