The Carter Twins

We took a drive up to Pismo Beach the first weekend of October to attend the wedding of our friend Brooke and Victor.  It was our first road trip and first night way from home with the girls.  My three ladies did really well on the drive up and overnight in the hotel.  The video below was taken in the morning, when the girls were in a really good mood.

We have been blessed with girls that sleep!!! At least this week…. Here is our pattern:

Both girls start to fall asleep some time between 8-9pm, feed one last time by 10pm, then sleep until 5-7am each night. Then to top it off… they wake up for breakfast and fall back asleep until 9-10am… it is miraculous to me. What a difference some regular sleep makes…

Today Ava weighed 11lb 5oz (seems to be tapering off in the speed in which she was putting on weight)
Emilie was 9lb 15oz (OMG… almost double digits finally).

Both girls have the breastfed “chunk” look to them with very delicious rolls on their thighs…

Today I had Ava in stitches laughing while biting the bottoms of her feet. Hopefully we will get some video posted of her… it is priceless.

Well, the girls slept through the night again last night…. and actually through the morning as well. Both girls slept for 7+ hours, woke up for breakfast, and fell back asleep until their 1045 feeding. I hope this is a trend that will keep up!!

Well…I am proud to say that both girls slept through the night last night. It may be too early to celebrate however when you have not slept through the night in over three months (maybe longer for me with pregnancy bladder) you have to take what you can get… the small wonders in life… We are crossing our fingers that we are on to something… hooray for 7 hours of sleep.

The girls are almost three month old and growing so fast. Yesterday Ava weighed 11 lbs 4oz and Emilie was 9lbs 10 oz. Both girls are so interactive, smiley, and “laughy”. Yesterday Ava and I were discussing DIY home repairs and she cracked up laughing when we discussed “plumber crack”… so cute.

Well the girls are 11 weeks old and have survived our first family vacation.

Jason and I took the girls to Pismo Beach for a friend’s wedding. We broke up the trip by driving from SD to LA, staying over night with Grandpa Dan and Grandma Bonnie. The next day we drove to Pismo Beach where we met Grandma Mary (Granny Noodle) and Grandpa Lou. The girls were great in the car, sleeping most of the time (just like their mother) and slept for long periods of time during the nights. Fueled by our success, we are looking into our next trip…

Today Ava weighed an amazing (as always) 10lb 12 oz and Emilie was 9lbs even!!!
