Two Weeks Old

We're two weeks old!

Yeah!

Beans has gotten really good at getting as close as he possibly can to us, without actually touching us. But he does sneak an occasional kiss on our hands or feet.

Practicing cheerleading moves in our sleep. "High V!" "Low V!"

Cheerleading is exhausting.

We're growing girls : ) We went to our two week doctor's appointment yesterday and we are both about 4 oz over our birth weight and have each grown an inch!

That's my hat!

"Hey Avery, I think you're wearing my hat."
"No, this is my hat. Mommy put it on me."

"No, I'm pretty sure that's my hat."
"And I'm telling you that it's mine, and mommy wouldn't put it on me if it wasn't"

"GIVE ME THAT HAT!!!"

3 Days of Fun with Little Miss Mia

After the weekend, Brent had to go back to work at Children's Mercy, cause lots of little boys and girls needed him to fix their broken bones, but at least his Alma Mater won the NCAA Championship! Rock Chalk Jay Hawk! However, Auntie Lizabeth and Mia got to stay a few extra days to help mommy keep her sanity. It was a true blessing to have them, since mommy and daddy had had a couple of rough evenings (Apparently figuring out how to feed two babies and still getting enough sleep to be coherent, can be a lot to manage at times). Though we think we have things figured out....for the moment. Here are a few pictures of us and Mia hanging out in Mommy and Daddy's room (and our room for the time being), which has been transformed into a Baby Mecca/Rain Forrest.

We were all sleeping before these photos were taken, but only Mia stayed asleep

Mia broke in our jumperoo that we got from Grandma Rump, since we don't have head control yet. So we hung out in our rain forrest bouncers. Unfortunately, Mia's little legs couldn't quite reach the ground so we had to improvise by using a piece of literature to uplift her both spiritually and literally : )

Our first stroller ride

Last Saturday we got to go on our first stroller ride and were fortunate enough to be joined by our bestest friend Mia and her mommy and daddy (Liz and Brent). Beans was also able to come with us. It was a short walk from our house to Holy Trinity High School, cause mommy couldn't go very far yet, but it was definitely eventful.

Here's Daddy, Beans and us before departure

Mommy, Liz and us (From the back side)

An old green truck passed us as we were walking down Ave. A, and proceeded to go in reverse and back up to talk to us. We thought it might be a stalker, but it was just Great Uncle Charlie, coming back to say hello. Unfortunately, when uncle Charlie got ready to leave, his truck wouldn't start so Daddy and Brent tried to help. Great Papa Dick ended up coming to pick him up.

We ran into our friends Mio and Oliver out on a bike ride, and daddy and Brent had to try out Oliver's nifty sidecar contraption. Hopefully some day we can each have one of our own : )

More Birthday Pics

Here are some more pictures from our birthday, which was two weeks ago already!!! We had our two week Dr. Appointment today, and we are both over our birth weight now and have each grown an inch : ) Addison 6 lbs. 5.4 oz; Avery 5 lbs. 11 oz

THERE HEEEEERE!!!!!

For those of you that don't know me, my name is Beans, and for months now mommy and daddy have been talking about things called babies. Well on March 28th, 2008 mommy and daddy left the house in a hurry at 2:45 in the morning and I knew something was up. They told me that the following pictures show what transpired over the next few days while I was at my Grandma and Grandpa Carr's. All I know is, when they came home, they brought an Avery thing and an Addison thing with them, who I am told are my new sisters....

Addison and Avery: Born Friday, March 28th, 2008
