Nine weeks and growing wiggly...

The babies are smiling and cooing and being adorable....making all those nights of 2 hours sleep and continuous crying worthwhile! Yesterday Abigail and George put themselves to sleep for 2 naps (and are doing it right now as I type) which is a big milestone. They have been a bit fussy while awake but when we can see their little tired red eyes, we can understand why they are crying. Slowly but surely, we are starting to figure them out and recognizing their cries. We are learning how to be effective parents!

My work is still going well...two days a week seems to be the perfect amount of time away. Matt is still working hard~~in fact, he watched the babies at his office on Friday while I went to a work meeting (and even got lots of work done!). He mastered putting them to sleep in a new environment and the babies' reward was being passed around amongst the baby lovers after they awakened. They were enthralled with the ceiling fan in Matt's office and he "built" a tent with blankets to "remove" the distraction. Too sweet!

We accomplished many projects around the house this weekend, which was tricky with two babies. However, understanding their need for sleep and the invention of baby monitors gave us the freedom to work in the garage or continue the multiple loads of laundry. We are preparing for the whole Martin Mob and Bill and Debbie to come up for Thanksgiving~ the twins will be baptized that weekend too! What a celebration to come!

We finally figured out who Ab looks like, at least for this week. After looking at Matt's baby pics, she has begun to favor him and the tinge of red in her hair is the exact color of his baby hair in his baby book. I do believe that the chipmunk cheeks are from both of us! Of course, George is still mini Matt...

Enjoy this week's pics! (excuse the fuzziness of some, they are becoming very wiggly, and I haven't mastered our camera with movement)
