Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Cooper and Mackenzie had their first Valentine's day today. They got cute stuffed animals and cards from Mom, Dad, Su-Su, and Poppa.





Cooper seemed to like putting the cards in his mouth more than anything else. . .










Then we went to the local farmer's market and got a few things. It was 75 degrees out and everyone was hot.


Nicole picked out some flowers (only $6!) and we ate a little food.








We also found a really cool jewelry stall where they take impressions into clay and cast silver charms. The kids made impressions of their fingers and in a couple of weeks Nicole will have two charms with Cooper and Mackenzie's finger prints, names, and the date on them!

Mackenzie was a little apprehensive about the whole process but it all turned out okay!!!

Celebrating Daddy's Birthday

Mitch's birthday is Tuesday, February 9th, but we decided to start celebrating a little early! I planned a trip on Saturday for Cooper and Mackenzie to make a special pottery piece with their hand and foot prints for their daddy. They were VERY good in the store and seemed to enjoy smashing their hands and feet into the clay.
We all enjoyed watching the Superbowl on Sunday. Mackenzie was able to cheer for the Saints again, although she and Cooper went to bed before half time. Mitch and I enjoyed being able to watch the rest of the game which ended at 7pm, LOVE west coast time!
I also baked a cake for Mitch's birthday, but we will sing "Happy Birthday" and blow out the candles on Tuesday. We also have a few presents for him to open.

Hanging out this weekend

Here are some photos from this weekend. Cooper and Mackenzie enjoyed watching football with daddy on Sunday, and of course mommy played dress up with them too!
Mackenzie also enjoyed exploring the exersaucer, lots of fun things to make noise and light up!

4 Month Pediatric Appointment

Cooper and Mackenzie had their 4 month pediatric appointment on Friday and our pediatrician is impressed with how well they are doing. He was pleasantly surprised to see how much they have grown!
Cooper weighs 16 lbs, is 25 inches long, and has a head circumference of 16.9 inches. Overall his weight and length put him in the 82nd percentile and his head is in hte 89th percentile!!! No wonder he has had a hard time holding up his head!
Mackenzie weighs 14lbs, is 24 inches long, and has a head circumference of 15.7 inches. Overall her weight and lenth put her in the 70th percentile! This is amazing considering they were premies, and have TRIPLED in size!
They are completely perfect on examination and did really well with their immunizations. They stopped crying as soon as we could hold them after their shots.
All those night feedings and worrying have paid off!
Here are some photos from this weekend. They were a little fussy on Sunday, probably not feeling great from their immunizations, BUT they only woke once Sunday night for feedings!

Dress Up

I have enjoying dressing Cooper and Mackenzie now that they are able to fit into more of their adorable clothes. They are also much more interactive, so when they are awake, it is time for mommy to play dress up!
