We're Home!

We're Home! The girls and I finally felt brave enough to move back in with Jordan in Pocatello. I wasn't sure if I was ready to do it on my own, but I did it anyway and things have been going well. It's nice to start getting ourselves into a routine. Jordan is great to help at night because to be honest I would get NO sleep if I did it completely on my own--it just takes too long. We came home to a great "Welcome Home" sign that Jordan made for us, so sweet! The girls love each other and I have so much fun noting the cute things they do. When they get hungry I often catch them sucking on each other. Bella was sucking on Sofia's elbow the other day while she had her finger in Sofia's mouth for Sofia to suck on. So thoughtful, she didn't want her sister to go without! The cutest things happen so fast that I don't have time to grab the camera, but I have learned to keep the camera out at all times.

Both girls are good babies. They eat and sleep at the same time for the most part. Sofia is our eater. She's up to 4 ounces and Bella is our petite eater eating around 3 ounces. Bella's big eyes are so fun. She is very alert throughout the day and cries mostly to alert us that she's going to the bathroom as her face turns bright red! Sofia is the cutest sneezer. Every time she sneezes she finishes up with a high pitched squeal. It's very reliable and you can always count on the little squeal every time post sneeze. Sofia is getting heavy! I do everything with each of them at the same time so I've learned to master the one handed grab. Bella is quite easy to pick up, but I really have to work with Sofia. My arm muscles are definitely getting toned! (Especially with two car seats!)

I love these bright eyes! I need to get a picture of how I feed them. Usually it consists of two pillows, two bottles, two legs wrapped around the pillows so no one falls off, and a burp cloth on each shoulder. I pump for them and then feed them the bottle. It's actually a lot faster than nursing them separately because they are not fans of being nursed at the same time. We get all situated on the couch and then eat, burp, eat, burp, and so on. We're figuring things out.


For our 3rd anniversary this year, Jordan gave me a photo shoot for the girls. We got it done last week and had a lot of fun. These were a few sneak peak pictures Katie Wells put on her blog. She did a great job and we'd recommend her to anyone. She's great with newborns.

These little toes melt my heart. Bella has Jordan's feet and Sofia has mine.

This was one of my favorite photos. The photographer set Sofia's hand on Bella's hip and as soon as she let go Sofia reached all the way around to grab Bella's foot and snuggle up next to her!

You can't really tell in this small photo but their bows have their names embroidered on them. We love our little family and are loving every second with these precious princesses!
