4 Months!!

I can't believe the twins are four months already - whew!  Time sure does fly.  =)  By today they're actually almost five months . . . I'm just behind on my pictures (thank you, Rose, for keeping me accountable)  ;-)

Here are a few from our "official photo shoot"

Jaken was really interested in his hands and wasn't really interested in smiling

Telsa was all about her smile. . .Jaken, his hands  =)

cuties back to back

We took a couple pictures on their actual 4 month birthday but they were sick so they don't look super great, but here are a couple.  The matching John Deere onsies came from Grandpa Eger!

smiles even though they're sick
both had the RSV virus, but weathered it well and are healthy now

My Mom, aka Grandma Eger, and my Aunt Ruth came for a visit for Grandma's birthday (and mine too).  It was Aunt Ruth's first time meeting the twins and everyone had a great time!

Tesla snuggled up with Aunt Ruth the first night

We also started the twins on cereal and some fruit this past couple weeks.  These are their first reactions to trying something new . . . was fun!  =)

ready and waiting in their new high chairs with their new bibs
this one just cracks me up - she looks so tiny and so interested, sorta
Jaken did pretty well - we tried brown rice cereal first
Tesla did okay but tends to spit it out as she smiles - we're still practicing with her
Grandma got to feed them too - Tesla wasn't as sure this second time 
Grandma feeding Jaken - he really likes bananas we've found

I hope you enjoy all the pictures.  I have to apologize for not getting pictures up more often.  Being a working full-time mom of twins takes a lot of time.  =)  Work is going well - I only work 3 days a week (though they are 12-14 hour days) so it's nice to have the other four days with my babies (& Joe, depending on the weekend).  =)  I'll get our Thanksgiving pictures up soon!

Halloween, Star Wars style

For their first Halloween we decided to go old school . . . Star Wars  =)  Here are our little Yoda & Ewok!

Tesla trying on her Yoda ears


Jaken trying on his Ewok hat
such a cutie!!

all dressed up and cute!!  (excuse the pink & blue socks)
a drooling Yoda

this is what really the majority of the pictures looked like - he, he



16 Weeks!!

Jaken enjoying tummy time (& watching the TV) 

Tesla actually enjoying tummy time - she only likes short stints of this  =)

Jaken "Why are you fussing, Tesla?"  --  Tesla "Why are you making me do this?  My head is so heavy!"

Ping has figured out how to enjoy the baby's swing too

Daddy & Tesla early one morning - she woke up earlier than usual so she hung out while we got ready

our little man Jaken

our sweet pea Tesla

Here are a few pics from the last couple weeks.  I'm sorry it has taken me a bit to get new ones up - my computer was acting up and not letting me upload pictures.

We are so enjoying our babies and love them more and more everyday!!  Today is actually their four month birthday!  =)
