Emma Grace Tries to Roll!!
In my last post I mentioned how the girls are starting to try and roll over. Today I was able to catch my little Emma Grace in action! I just KNEW she was gonna make it all the way to her belly but she tricked me. :)

10 weeks?!
It seems like every time I post I start out with how I cant believe how big or how old they are now but it's true! I mean 2 and a half months old already? Really??
They had a little check up yesterday and my little turkies gained 12 ounces in one week! Emma is now 7lbs 15.5 ounces and Molly is.....8lbs 3oz!!!!
Yesterday we had to return a lot of newborn size boxes in exchange for the next size up.
I put the biggest preemie sleeper they had on them last night and quickly realized that it will be the last time they wear it or anything preemie. They were slowly out growing certain preemie things but they have now officially out grown all of them.
As if I wasnt washing their clothes enough, it looks like I will be washing them even more now because they do not have as many newborn sleepers as they did preemie.
But Im wondering how long they will even be in the newborn sizes with them gaining close to a pound a week. My little chunks.
Yesterday we went into walmart to take back those diapers and I was in a rush because I also had to try and get to the drug store before they closed in the next hour to pick up a prescription, and we were stopped 3 times before I was there even 5minutes. I feel like a celebrity whenever I am out in public with them. People stare, and whisper, and come up to us and stop us. But I really dont mind showing everyone how beautiful my girls are! :)
I believe my poor little Emma is getting sick with a cold again! I really hope it doesnt take her as long this time to get over it as it did last time. Im assuming it will only be a matter of days that Molly catches this. I hate when my poor girls are sick!
We are having a shower June 5th for them. This was scheduled to take place back in Feb. but it got post poned due to me being in the hospital. Im not expecting it to be a huge turn out because so many people have came to the hospital or our home to bring us baby gifts but it will still be a nice little get together for the ones who are able to come. Im excited about it because Molly and Emma will be the special guests so several people that havent seen them yet will get too. :)
I have come to learn to find humor in the small things that could very possibly be frustrating to me if I allowed it too. For example, when I put the girls in their carseat and they do not want to be in it, they will SCREAM until they are purple. And their cry is such a deep strong loud cry when they get really angry! Sometimes I just have to chuckle about it because when I am driving down the road and they HAVE to be in their carseat what else can I do?? As soon as you pick them up they stop crying immediately! They can be just a little demanding at times about certain things! Neither one of them like their medicine. They will either refuse to open their mouth, hold the medicine in their mouth and let it slowly drool out, or they will gag themselves until they throw it up. They are something else! :)
I have also learned that when they are restless and fussy that when I lay them on their belly and pat their butt they get comfortable really quickly and doze off to their happy place. Of course, I cant do this at night because I dont let them lay on their bellies when I am asleep. But during the day this trick has come in handy often!
They are both awake a lot more during the day now and they are very active!
Today I laid them in their bassinet next to eachother while I was in the kitchen and next thing I know I hear the scream...I can always tell when one of them is having a reflux attack by their cry...its a painful scared type cry they only get when this happens. So I run in the living room and poor little Emma is wearing Molly's throw up! And Molly was just a screaming her little head off, and Emma was just staring at her so peacefully, like..."did you really just do that to me?" lol
They are both trying to roll on their side now! They havent mastered it yet but its coming!
Here is a picture of the girls on their 10 week birthday and a picture to compare them to 4 weeks ago!

This everyone, is my sweet girl Emma in the bath
And THIS is WHY she is in the bath.
Do you see how soaking wet her little head is? That is not water.
While feeding her this morning she started grunting. Well of course I knew what that meant. She began to get fussy so I put the bottle down and went to hold her belly to my chest to help her finish her job better. Well, she was done. I put my hand against her back and next thing I know i have chunks of poo stuck to my hand. Really? So I go to her room to change her and low and behold if she doesnt decide to pee everywhere as soon as I get her bottom clean. So she now has urin all over her back and her head. No idea, how it got that far up her but it did.
So I bend down to get some clothes out of her drawer and the entire two drawers are covered in poop!!! How in the world? Well it so happens that I was wearing it and did not realize it. SO when I rubbed against the dresser, it made a mess.
This by far has been the messiest blow out yet!
Baby All Clean!!! :)

Sisters
I love the fact that they are trying to hold hands in this picture! So sweet!
Two Peas in a Pod for Sure! :)
Today (5/23/10) I put the girls in their crib and just watched them explore. They were so cute kicking their legs and swinging their arms and touching each others faces. I just loved watching them. The pics below are the girls in action today! :)
I pray that their special bond will never be broken!

Congratulations!!
My baby sister graduated highschool tonight. I am so proud of her! I teared up several times throughout her ceremony.
I am so excited for her to be growing up and turning into such a beautiful young lady.
Emma and Molly did great throughout the entire almost 2 hour ceremony. They didnt make a sound. However, when the ceremony was over they did not want to wait an extra minute to eat! I wanted to get some good pictures of the girls with their Aunt in her cap and gown but they just werent having it. So this is what we got. :)
