First Christmas

Wow! What an eventful week we have had. I can't believe how blessed these boys are...we don't know what to do with all their new stuff! I am definitely looking forward to when they can use some of these toys...fun! Their new outfits are super cute, too! We are so grateful!!

Sadly, the boys are coming down with their first cold. Despite our attempts to keep them healthy, they are very stuffy right now. It is so hard to hear them sniffle, especially when they are trying to sleep. Luckily, no one has a fever and they are both still eating well. We are taking them to see Dr. Don tomorrow, just to get checked out and for peace of mind. I wonder how much they weigh now?? They are growing WAY too fast!!

We are looking forward to a quiet New Year's Eve, just the four of us hanging out. Who knows if we will even make it to see the ball drop, it may be time for us to sleep, feed or change diapers!! We would not trade this in for anything! Just in case we don't blog before New Year's, we wish everyone blessings for 2009!!

Time Flies!!!!

Well, time officially flies by with little ones around!! I can hardly believe that it has been almost 3 weeks since our last blog...sorry! The babies are growing so fast, right before our eyes it seems. Adrian and I are loving every minute of this thing called parenthood, even the all nighters that happen every once in a while. Honestly, our boys are really good, and sleep for 4-5 hours most nights. Occasionally they like to stay up and party, but who wouldn't with fun parents like us??

As of their last appointment, 2 weeks ago, Mateo weighed 7lb 8 oz and Diego weighed 7 lb 2 oz. The doctor was amazed at their growth, and told us to keep it up. Well, judging by how they feel in our arms, we are doing just that. I can't pick them up with one hand anymore, and it is tough to walk up or down the stairs holding them both. They are both starting to smile more, although we haven't been able to catch it in a picture yet.

Both boys love their bathtime, and Mateo especially loves the baby massage after the bath. He goes right to sleep after his massage. Diego, on the other hand, doesn't really appreciate the massage, maybe it will grow on him...

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and we look forward to seeing all our family over at my sister, Monica's house. As you can see, the boys will be festively dressed in Santa suits, SO cute (thanks Grandma Paula!) Christmas Day, Adrian's family will come to celebrate with us, and the boys have another Santa suit to wear that day (thanks Mami Trini (Adrian's Grandmother). In between, the boys have 2 different Christmas PJ's to wear (thanks Grandma Trini and Auntie Ericka) so they will be festive the whole time!! I wonder if these guys know how loved they are??

Adrian and I wish everyone a safe and Merry Christmas and a Happy Hannukah! This season really reminds us of the importance of family and friends and how truly blessed we are to have you all in our lives. We will be sure to post more pics soon!!!

Five weeks!

Five weeks have passed since our boys arrived...CRAZY!!! Life as we know it has definitely changed, it is like Groundhog's Day around here. We are always feeding, changing, or snuggling with a baby, it is great! The boys are growing so quickly, changing every day. Lately they have started to smile. It makes those sleepless nights a little more tolerable when your baby gives you a big smile.

Tomorrow is our next growth check...I wonder how much they will weigh? They certainly feel heavier! The weather has taken a turn for the cold, so we don't get out much. We love having visitors come by and say hi, but for the most part we stay in the house. I am curious to see how much my PG&E bill will be...we have to keep it warm for the little guys. Hopefully it won't be too crazy!

Here are some recent pics, enjoy!
