Pics from weeks 1 and 2

Because blogger is not user friendly, these are not in chronological order.
Sydney in the swing. Both babies spend lots of time here.
 Dalton=baby burrito. 
They both sleep so much better when they are wrapped like this. Brett is THE BEST at wrapping them up. Makes me feel very claustrophobic! We call Dalton Houdini because he can get out sometimes. His latest thing is that he lifts his legs really high in the air and then slams them down on the crib mattress over and over again. This allows him to get out after awhile. He was doing it this morning (Sept 16) at 4 am-I couldn't quit laughing! He is going to have some awesome stomach muscles.
He can also get his hands out of those cuffs that make it so they can't scratch their face, which is why he looks like this...
I sent this picture to Stef and she texted back, "Is Dalton sleeping with a cat?"
I replied, "Nope-just his big sister"!

Sydney has elf looking ears. The following story with show you the difference in Madi and Saige:
Saige noticed them first and said, "Mom, Sydney's ears look like elf ears."
I said, "I know, they are cute huh?"
She said, "Yep! They are AWESOME"!
When Madi saw them she said, "Mom. Sydney has elf ears. (In a super concerned voice)...Is she going to get made fun of at school?"

First Swim!
Our new stroller/bike trailer (with the wrong set of twins inside)!
We had a double stroller when the girls were little. We moved it 3 times from place to place and when we finally bought our house I told Brett that it was time to get rid of it because even if we did have another baby, we would not be having twins and wouldn't need a double stroller. I should know not to say things like that. It's the same thing as when I said (just before graduating from vet school) that I would live anywhere west of the Mississippi river but not in California. Well, here we are. Never say never. How many times will I do this before I learn my lesson?

They look so tiny! i can't believe how much bigger they were when we were there. Love all the pics! Brett is the BEST burrito roller for sure! I hated when H scratched himself. I bought little gloves for him at Walmart or Target. Miss you guys

Love my kids....and love all the pictures. Thanks for posting them so that we can be a part of their lives. So glad we could be there to hold them and love them during part of that time.

Nat I love these updates. I can't wait to come out!!!! Makes me so excited. I LOVE the story about Dalton slamming his legs down. That is exactly what Charli does. They can be best friends and make noise together. She still does it to get out of her swaddle. That is a smart idea to put the burp cloth down under them while they sleep. I have never done that. I can't believe those awful scratches - seriously those are bad! I love syd's elf ears to. That is hilarious what the older twins said.
