I guess it has been a while since we posted anything. In that time both babies have come home and are growing like crazy. They are already outgrowing some of our favorite outfits. :( Emma weighs around 9 lbs and Eli weighs almost 13 lbs! He is a little chunk. Needless to say he never misses a meal! They are beginning to smile at us and make cooing sounds. They make our hearts melt. Eli is very laid back. He will lay in his crib and fall asleep on his own, whereas Emma is more highstrung and doesn't like to lay alone. She wants someone holding her until she falls asleep. She is very stubborn. I have never seen a child fight the "crying it out" method so long. We just have to remind ourselves "It won't be like this for long." Which brings us to our next milestone... Tristan started Kindergarten last Tuesday, so this is his second week of school. He is growing up sooooo fast! I can't believe it. I can remember when I was home taking care of him when he was just tiny! He has a girlfriend (already) named Jessica. Tyler dropped him off at school last Friday. His girlfriend was walking in with her mom. Tyler said Tristan was in such a hurry he barely even said goodbye. Tyler was pretty frustrated and wanted to make him come back and try it again, until he saw what was coming next... Tristan ran up to the school door and opened the door for his girlfriend and her mom! What a gentleman! I am so proud that he is such a nice young man. I feel very blessed- especially that I have a husband who, without even knowing it, is teaching his son how to be a good man.
