Boys First Christmas!

Jacob and Carter in the morning!
Jacob had to try out all the presents on his head!

And Carter fell wore out quickly! He missed most of the gifts....

Christmas started off at Grandma Wolstoncroft's. Then we headed to Nana Sturgis's house for more presents and good food!!

After that we traveled again to Aunt Trisha and Uncle Danny's house in the afternoon for even more gifts and good food!!!!



It was a long day but we all had a great time spending time with the family!!

Christmas Eve!

Unlike every other Christmas Eve where I am in church singing, I got a sub and we traveled for the boys first Christmas. We headed to Salisbury on the 23rd and stayed overnight. We got up on Christmas Eve and headed to Virginia to visit with Johnny's side of the family for a few hours and then headed to his cousins house to have dinner and visit with more of his family! It was nice to see everyone again and the kids did pretty well in the car. But they didn't really want to nap in a strange place....so they did start to get a little crabby!!! But overall we all had a great time visiting with everyone! Wish we could do it every year!!!

Snow and Cookies!

So we had a huge snowfall in December right before Christmas so while we were snowed in, we decided to bake cookies. The boys were pretty good. They both sat for a while in their high chairs and watched and then Carter took a nap. Here are some pics....we found out that we are not that good at decorating cookies!!! We had 23 inches of snow fall in Philadelphia during that snowfall! It was beautiful...until we had to dig out the cars!!!!

Thanksgiving Weekend

Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving. We spent it in Salisbury, Maryland. Carter did okay in the car. He started getting fussy about 20 minutes before we arrived and did the same on the way back. We are traveling after his last bottle to see if he will sleep most of the way. Grandma Wolstoncroft gave the boys an early Christmas present while we were there: Portable DVD players for the car. They have been a big help in getting Carter to sit in the car for a longer period of time. He loves Dr. Seuss's Horton Hears a Who. I think Johnny and I have it memorized by now....which is sad because I haven't really ever watched the whole thing!!!

Getting Bigger!

The boys had their four month checkup on Friday the 20th. They are both growing well and the doctor said they look good!

Carter now weighs 13 pounds 7 ounces and Jacob weighs 14 pounds 2.5 ounces. Jacob is an inch longer than Carter! We got the go ahead to start cereals, fruits and veggies. We tried rice cereal but they didn't seem to like it. But then we tried oatmeal and they both smiled and ate! Most of it was all over their faces but they at least smiled through it!!! We are going to try some veggies soon and see how that goes!!!

We are traveling today to Salisbury to visit our families for Thanksgiving...here is hoping that Carter sleeps in the car!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We will post pictures when we get back into town!

The boys are 4 Months Old Today!

I can't believe that the boys are 4 months old already! Time is flying by! I am going to try to take pictures of them today if they will let me and I will post later. But for now, here are some pictures of them that were taken in the last week.

I did try to post the videos of them rolling over but something didn't work. If you haven't seen them, we did post them on facebook. I will try to get them up here as well. Jacob started rolling from his belly to his back on October 29th and Carter rolled as well on November 4th. Jacob is close to rolling from his back to his belly but hasn't quite figured it out yet. Carter isn't trying that yet!

They go for their 4 month check up on Friday and I will update again with their weights and how things went with their shots! Looking forward to it!!!

Enjoy the photos!
