Ella Got Her First Tooth!

Today Ella got her first tooth coming through. We knew it was coming because she was doing something funky with her tounge. Emma is not far behind. She is gnawing on everything as well. Ohhhh, they are growing up way too fast!!!

6 Months Old

The girls are 6 months old and I am wondering where the time has gone. Ella now weighs 16lbs and Emma weighs a little under 17lbs. They got their flu shots this week and it made mommy and daddy sad!! We get their 6 month pictures in a couple of weeks so I will post them when we get them back. Stay tuned......

5 Months Old


It's hard to believe that the girls are already 5 months old. Where has the time gone??? It seems just like yesterday that I was sitting in the NICU every day with them just waiting to bring them home. These 5 months have been full of wonderful times and memories. The great thing about this age is that the girls are starting to notice each other. They stare and grab at each other now. It is so cute!!!!
