Sucking fingers, binkies, whatever we can find

Before my boys were here I was adamant that my children would not suck their thumbs and binkies ONLY if necessary and for no more than a year. Now that they are here I LOVE their binkies and think it is adorable when they find their fingers or thumbs. Dylan is my finger/thumb sucker but they both think their binkies are the best. Yep...I said it! The tooth-nazi is all for it, who would have guessed?!?

Happy Halloween

I have such cute "Things"! I am the luckiest Mommy around!

Night time vs. Morning

I think it is so funny how it is so hard to be a baby at night when you are supposed to be going to sleep compared to waking up in the morning. This is Charlie going to bed...and first thing this morning. What a kid, I just love him!

Family photos

So we went and had our pictures taken about a month ago. It was quite the ordeal being that my boys were hungry and crying the whole time. We were shoving food in them, taking a few shots, more food, more shots, more food, more shots. By the end of the photo shoot they were so milk drunk they were ok being naked so those were the best. I was really impressed with as many pictures we got where they weren't crying!

Exhausting...

Wow, these kids just tire you out. I just love when my babies are sleeping. They look so peaceful and perfect, not to mention they are not screaming and mommy can get something done. I just read an article last night that says I shouldn't feel guilty for loving the time they are sleeping best. I think my boys are starting to be awake more during the day and it wears me out. I look forward to the time daddy comes home to have some support. With two howling babies you gotta get pretty creative to pick up one baby while holding the other without hurting their neck. It will be great once they have strength to hold up their heads. We had quite the episode this afternoon, but now...fast asleep!

The babies are here!

So it has been one crazy month. I cannot believe that my babies are 1 month old yesterday. They were born on August 26th. That is my grandma's birthday so it is a special day. They had scheduled me to be induced but when I went in that morning, I was already in active labor so they would have arrived that day anyway. My precious babies are:

Dylan Curtis Jensen (born first and totally a "Curtis")
&
Charlie Russell Jensen (totally a "Jensen")

We are so blessed. They are really good boys and so fun. I have no time to do anything besides be at their beck and call but that's ok...they're worth it! Here are some cute pictures of them from their first month.

Baby, baby, baby

Will it ever stop growing??? All I can say is I am done, all baked and ready to be pulled from the oven. It is very cruel when you measure "over due" but still you seem to have weeks to go. Still waiting....
