Tess and Jake

Tess is almost 6 weeks and has been busy growing!  We had to go in to the Dr's today and she already weight's 9lb 12 oz!  So there is a reason that all those newborn clothes are so tight!  I thought she might be around 8lb 8oz or so boy was i off!  The Dr. was amazed that she is doing so well, and no wonder why she always seems hungry!  The other night I fead her for 1/2 hour or so and then put her to bed only to have her wake up 10 min later and ask Chris to rock her to sleep and he ended up feeding her a bottle of 4 more oz's!  Crazy girl  Jake never drank 4 oz of anything till he was 10 months or so!  


The Monster and the Duck!
She also rolled over last week from her front to her back, 3 times in a row, but of course hasn't done it again since.  Then again its been a busy week and we all know no one wants to do tummy time when your running around to Christmas party's.

Boy is Christmas fun and tiring with two little ones,  Jake loved helping Tess open her presents and surprisingly likes playing with some of her toys more than his right now, but then again they are simple, light up, and play music and who doesn't like toys like that right!  His favorite right now is the big train that goes around our Christmas tree, he knows how to run it and blow the whistle and its good and loud when its running full speed which is alot of fun.  He loves to put one foot on each side of the tracks and yell TUNNEL as it goes under him!   So funny!
We know how to wrap don't we!
