Play Date

We had a play date with cousin Kai on Tuesday (translation=Deanna came over to help me keep my sanity). Here are a few pics that Deanna took.

I love this picture! They are already becoming friends!

1 Month Doctor's visit

Today we had our 1 month doctor's visit. I can't believe how fast time is going. Everyone says that these days go by so fast and they really do! Some days it feels like this season will go on forever (like when the girls are up and playing at 2am..which is when I am writing this!), but then I realize they are already getting so big. As of today, Isabella is up to 6 lbs. 4 oz. and Leah is 6lbs 14 oz. I can't believe she is almost 7 pounds!! They are both 20 & 1/4 inches long. Both are still under "normal" weight and height for their age, but the doc says they are doing a great job at catching up!

I learned a very important lesson today...I will NEVER go to the doctor alone again :) The girls decided to both scream their heads off, Isabella peed all over the table, Leah spit up all over (managing to have milk come out both her mouth AND her nose), and both girls had to get shots! Fun times doing that on my own!

Yesterday, the girls had their developmental assessments. They did a great job! They are doing all the things they are supposed to be doing at this age.

My new favorite thing is that they love to play together. When they are both awake, if we put them on the ground for play-time, they will spend an hour or more just cooing and talking to each other. They wave their hands around and stare at each other. They really seem to like being together down there!

Congratulations Daddy!!

This is by far my favorite picture so far! I think she just looks so sweet and peaceful. Oh, this is Isabella for those that can't tell them apart yet :)

Leah...doing a great job working her neck muscles!
Daddy got his purple belt this week! We are so proud of him. He got it very early...he still needed over 60 hours before he should have received it but he is just SO good that they just promoted him anyway. This is not something they do regularly. We are all so proud of our jiu jitsu star!!

Just me and the girls

This is the first week I am "on my own," at home. My mom has been SUCH and amazing help but now she is on a business trip. Deanna has been so awesome too! She drives all the way out here A LOT...even when she has a million things on her to do list...and keeps me company, helps with the girls, and has made us a bunch of really delicious dinners! Cesar is also back to work full time, so I was very nervous yesterday about being alone this week, but once Cesar left for work and the girls and I got through the first feeding, things just went smoothly. Deanna came to help me today, so today doesn't really count as an "on my own," day. Tomorrow I go to the doctor by myself with both girls..this will be a first. I'll have to break out the double stroller for the first time in public (we have walked around the block with it, but that's it). I am hoping by the end of the week I will be comfortable with the idea of being home alone. We'll see...

Here are some pics from the first few weeks of life! We have so many favorites, but here are a few.
