The Carter Twins

This morning I walked into the nursery to find Ava awake, talking to her bird mobile (see video) and “nursing” on her sister’s head (who was very much asleep). It was probably the cutest thing I have ever seen. I have been wondering why Emilie wakes up each morning with crusty hair. I assumed she had thrown up in the middle of the night or her drool had made it’s way to her head… mystery solved!!

Yesterday we witnessed our first round of “pay back” between the girls… here is what happened….

Both girls were suppose to be napping in their cribs when we heard Ava start crying (screaming, really). When we went into the room we found Emilie turned perpendicular (put to sleep parallel) to her sister kicking her in her face. Now, I find this horribly ironic as the roles were reversed in utero when Ava was kicking Emilie in the face during our last ultrasound at 35 weeks… pay back is a bitch, I say.

We have made it through another week. Today’s weights were:
Ava 8lb 4oz
Emilie 6lb 11oz

Both girls are smiling and responding to Jason and I… and by “responding” I mean making eye contact and yelling at the top of their lungs night and day =) There are many more sleepless nights in the Carter Household…

On another note… today is the first day in many, many months I have been able to wear my wedding ring… awesome!!
