Beautiful.

Well. I figured I'd update even though I totally should be asleep right now. I have to get up early to bring the girls to their one month check up tomorrow. I am excited to see how much they weigh now! Especially Olivia, I feel like she's grown SO much.

Well, life is going well. The babies are doing quite well, growing and progressing very nicely. They are both fascinated with their hands lately. They suck on their fingers constantly, Sarah has taken to sucking her thumb when there is no pacifier to suck on. Just today I decided to go ahead and get some of their toys out, and the play mat too. I think they might not quite be there yet haha, but from what I've read it's good for them to just see toys and for me to play 'with' the toys 'with' the girls. Does that make sense? They haven't discovered their feet yet, but from what I read they discover their feet next. That will be cute!
We've gotten a few smiles out of Olivia, but I think it might still be gas smiles or something. It's nothing that we do necessarily it's just randomly you'll see her smile really big. They both can hold their heads up, Olivia especially. She loves to just look around or just look up at us when we are holding her. When she lays downs on her belly she'll hold her head up and look at everything around her. She's very curious. They both continue to show more and more personality. It's becoming very obvious that Sarah is very laid back and go with the flow. She doesn't really cry unless she has a good reason, like being hungry or needing a diaper change or spitting up. Olivia on the other hand screams any time she is unhappy for any reason. If it's not hunger she's usually wanting to be held. She's a little bit spoiled that way I think. I'm working on holding her less just because I don't want her to be a baby that has to always be held. I want her to learn to be OK just laying on the floor playing on her own, and learning to pacify herself sometimes. They are both beginning to become much more alert. For the first like 3.5 weeks they only slept and ate and now they are having more periods where they are awake and we can enjoy them and play with them.
They are getting more used to baths. At first Olivia HATED them, and now she can tolerate them haha. Sarah on the other hand just lets you bathe her and is fine with it. She actually seems like she might enjoy the warm water.
They both love music. Anytime they are upset I'll turn on some classical music (we have a little mobile that plays classical songs) and it always calms them right down. It'll usually put them to sleep too. It's nice having something that can calm them down a bit and will comfort them. Although, when Mommy holds them they almost always calm down right away :-) Which I have to say makes me feel good-hee hee.
I guess that is about it. I really need to go to sleep!

The previous pics I posted were (obviously) from when we took them to Olan Mills for pictures. We are still waiting on prints, right now we just have the CD with all the pics on it. When we get the prints we'll send out some announcements and other pics out to like grandmas and family. I didn't get that many announcements though so probably only like immediate family will get those. Anyway, I'll try to post a video (like the one Chris posted earlier) tomorrow but with both girls. They are both so adorable!!

Wickersham out!
