Sorry, I know it's been a few days since I've updated everyone on here, but really, there hasn't been very much going on around here. A few things/new developments have happened though....
First of all we have a new favorite toy in the house! Dan's mom bought the girls an 'exersaucer' for Christmas, and we just decided to test it out a couple days ago. They have been doing really well sitting up in their bumbo seats, so we thought that maybe they are big enough for their shiny pink exersaucer. Well, we were just about right. They are a little too little still, but with a blanket or two for padding they just fit, and it was a HUGE hit! Especially with Harper. She sat there the whole time I was making dinner yesterday just staring at all the gizmos and gadgets with complete amazement and wonder. Analiese is still not too sure about it, she is a bit too lazy to hold her head up (which is funny because she will sit up straight in her bumbo for an hour). Anyway, we will keep trying with Ana, that is if Harper will share, and we may eventually need to invest in another! So I know I've said it before, but Caroline, thank you so much for our new toy!

Another new development is that the girls are sleeping like absolute rockstars! So about a month ago, our girls were sleeping pretty good, especially for 2 month olds. Really they have been on a good schedule since the day we brought them home from the hospital. They generally ate for the last time around 10pm, then they woke up around 2am, then they are up for the day around 6. Well, for the last 3 weeks the have been waking up 4 or 5 times a night, then they finally just get up for the day around 5.30am. It was awful. I hadn't been that tired since I had the girls. I was absolutely miserable. Well out of the blue this past weekend they must have just finally gotten tired themselves, because they are now eating around 10, waking up at 3, then up for the day between 7 and 8. MUCH BETTER! This schedule I can definitely deal with. We are currently on day 5, so hopefully it sticks!

On the 26th was my BABY cousin Cole's birthday. Ok, so it was his 13th birthday, so I guess I can't really call him my baby cousin anymore, but really, he is the youngest of the 8 grand kids and I cannot believe that he is already a teenager! How does time go by that fast?! I know it is going to fly just as fast if not faster with my own babies, and the thought of it is really bumming me out. Once again I will say it...cherish the moments with your little ones while they are still little!!!

And last but not least, Dan and I have decided that as long as things keep going as planned we are going to bypass renting, and we are going to BUY A HOUSE! We have to pay a few things off (cars, cards, and student loans) but that is all going quickly, then we will see what are chances are of getting approved for a mortgage, and then we will start house hunting. I am very excited, but also terrified because my sister told me that it was the most stressful thing she has ever done in her life including planning her wedding. YIKES! My girls are enough stress for me, so I'm pretty sure I am going to be a hot mess through this whole process, so readers beware I may be venting to you a lot! Hopefully there will be more house news coming soon......
I am so glad that the girls are getting into a better sleeping pattern - makes such a difference when you wake up for the day feeling that you have had a decent sleep. Nana C and Pops are also really pleased that the girls love their Christmas pressie - we thought it would be a hit as Auntie Zoe really loved hers when she was a baby xxx
