Cooper and Kale, 6 week update

I can't believe our little guys are six weeks old. Here are a few things they are doing now:

*Eating more, they are like little piggies. But it's good because that means they are starting to sleep more as well.

*Growing like crazy. They are getting so big and gaining some chubs. They are out of the newborn stage. We have an appointment for them in a few weeks and I can't wait to see how much they've grown.

*Smiling. They are starting to recognize our voices a little better and will occasionally treat us to a little grin. No matter how many children you have, those smiles can't be beat. They are so sweet. Riley even claims that Cooper laughed the other night.

*Cooing and making fun baby sounds. When they are feeling especially comfortable and happy they will ooh and ahh a little.

*They both like their binkies, but it is impossible to get them to stay in their mouths. I think it is almost more trouble than it is worth.

*They are starting to have distinguishable crying. Riley is better at telling them apart than I am when they wake up at night. Kale's sometimes contains a high pitched meewing that almost sounds like a kitten. They both cry harder than any babies I've ever seen. Tempers, tempers. :)

*They are starting to get a bit fiesty. They can move their heads around really well and are super strong. They move around in their cribs and will grab onto your shirt so hard you can't get them to let go.

*They both hate getting dressed and getting in their car seats.


Some individual traits:

*Kale is a little bit more laid back and will hang out a bit more.

*Cooper will follow you everywhere with his eyes. Seems that he likes to know whats going on.

*Kale does little leg quivers when he gets scared.

*Cooper has more of a surprised look with eyebrows going up, Kale furrows his eyebrows in a more serious look.

*When I'm putting Kale to sleep he likes to have one hand grabbing the neckline of my shirt and has a tendency to fall asleep with his head hanging way off to the side.

*Cooper likes the bouncer better, Kale does better in the swing.

It is so fun to watch them grow and change. They are such cute boys!


**I thought I might add that we are blessing the boys this Sunday for anyone who would like to come.

I wish I was closer so I could come steal a few minutes with those babies and get my fix!

I love that they are already showing their different personalities.

It kind of stinks how quickly that newborn stage goes. Minus the lack of sleep, it's really my favorite baby stage.

I hate that the newborn stage goes so fast. I can't believe they are 6 weeks old. That will help me want to get to church on time on Sunday Sarah. I'm not looking forward to 8:30 church! :) Happy New Year!
