Our 8 week checkup

Today we had our 8 week check up appointment. Everything is going really well and both babies are growing like crazy! Carter weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces and is 20 1/2 inches long!!! He has gone from the 5Th percentile to the 30Th! Olivia is 7 pounds 5 ounces and 20 1/4 inches long!!! She has gone from the 5Th percentile to the 15Th! They are both getting so big and advancing everyday! We have such amazing children~God has blessed us in so many ways!
Unfortunately they also needed to have their first set of shots. I was worried about how well it would go so my mom went along with us for some extra TLC. The babies both did GREAT...a few tears but nothing that mommy and me maw couldn't kiss away. Both of them aren't feeling good tonight but that is to be expected from the vaccinations.

Last night we all went to Mitch's first softball game since his injury. It was nice to get out for the evening as a family and watch daddy play some ball. The team did great and Mitch is starting to get his confidence back again. Aunt Amanda helped us out greatly and we all had so much fun! Carter can't wait to grow up and play ball just like his daddy and Uncle Todd.
The game ran late and we didn't get home until around 11:oo. With the dirt from the field blowing at us all night Carter and Olivia had tub time, drank their milk, and went to bed around midnight. Carter woke up around 4, but went back to bed after drinking another 4 ounces. Olivia slept until 5, and she too drifted right back to sleep. Though some nights are longer then others, they are both starting to go longer between feeds at night! Good Job Carter and Olivia!!!!
Since Carter found out how much he weighs now, he is going around showing off his muscles...what a BIG boy!!!
Olivia loves playing in her pack n play with all her toys!!!

We love parenthood so much...life can't get any better then right now...we have it all and are SO THANKFUL!!!!
