3 months

The babies and us have survived the first 3 months. We are all doing great, they are almost sleeping through the night. We are down to one nightime feeding and it usually occurs around 4:00, they should be sleeping through the night any day now. Grandpa came to visit Memorial day weekend and took lots of great pictures. We thought we would share a few...

New Family Car

We did it! We bought a new family car to fit the whole family, including the dogs.

Connor likes it too!

10 Weeks

Mystery Poo!

We have noticed that the house has started smelling like baby poo, not just the diaper champ anymore. At first Tim thought one of the dogs pooped in the house but upon further investigation he noticed it was in fact coming from the diaper champ. Note, don't put the diaper pail next to the air intake vent of the air conditioner.

2 month updates

The babies are now 9 weeks old, boy does time fly. They had their 2 month wellness check on Wednesday. Connor has surpased his sister, he currently weighs 10 lbs 4 oz and Grace is 10 lb 3 oz. They are both 22 3/4 inches and have a head circumference of 14 cm. We thought for sure Connor's head would measure bigger, it is just shaped different. (Like his grandpa's!)

They are both smiling back at us now and laughing. It is getting more and more fun to play with them. They started day care a week and a half ago, things seem to be going good. Everyone loves Connor of course because of his many facial expressions.

The Bumbo Chair

We introduced the bumbo chair today! Grace loved it and Connor was not so sure. It could have something to do with the fact that he stayed up until 1:00 a.m. again!

The Diaper Champ

For anyone with babies on the way or who has babies and needs a great way to dispose of diapers, I recommend the Diaper Champ over the Diaper Genie any day. You simply toss the used diaper into the hole at the top and then flip it, the diaper falls down into an air tight receptacle containing a kitchen trash bag. It is much easier than dealing with the diaper sausages that come out of the diaper genie. Only recently have a found a flaw in its design, and I am pretty sure it has to do with the user and not the piece of equipment. Recently the flipper has been getting stuck and I have struggled to get it to flip and when it does I have noticed streaks of poop in the diaper "catcher." At first I was getting frustrated with the diaper champ and then I discovered the real problem... Tim is terrified of getting poop on him and in an effort to dispose of poopy diapers as quickly as possible he is not correctly wrapping the diaper into the tight little poop containing package, he doesn't even want to touch the thing, so he quickly tosses and flips the diaper. Meanwhile the diaper is getting stuck in the shoot and smearing poop along the sides and I have to come along and clean the thing up. I threatened that he will change diapers in the future if this practice continues. Needless to say, Tim is not a Diaper Champ!
