4 Months Old!!!

So it has been a month since I last posted. Can you blame me though? I have the cutest twin boys to play with and take care of, so I haven't made the time to post!

The boys are FOUR MONTHS today and I can't believe how quickly time flies by. We don't have their four month check up for another couple weeks, but I weighed them the other day and Marc weighs about 14.8 pounds and James has gained some ground on his brother and weighs 14.2 pounds.

FOUR MONTHS OLD!!!

(Marc and James)


Marc and James are interacting more and more together. They have even started holding hands. It is so cute. Here is a picture of them holding hands...James has his typical serious face on. When he is not smiling this is the look he has on his face. :)

Marc founds his hands and now they are constantly in his mouth. Sometimes he puts them so far in his mouth I am surprised he doesn't gag himself.

James like to put his fingers in his mouth instead of his whole hand. He found his hands about a month ago and it is so cute to watch him play with his hands.

Marc loves to smile. He is constantly moving and that is why the picture is blurry. He is definitely an active baby.
Things about Marc:
- loves to stand up with mama's help (My guess is that he will be the first to walk)
- loves to smile
- when he wakes up from a nap or in the morning, you better have his food ready because he wants it right away! :)
- sleeps through the night
- loves to move around
- started using the bumbo

As I mentioned before, James has a serious look that is on his face a lot. However, he also has the most adorable smile. He has dimples that would melt anyone's heart. He is camera shy though and won't give me a big smile on camera.

Things about James:
- loves to smile
- tries to sit up (I think he will be the first to sit up)
- is starting to use his bumbo
- he is such a calm baby...totally laid back, just like his mother!
- loves to move around
- sleeps through the night
- knows when you are giving Marc more attention that he is getting
We love our boys so much and have so much fun with them. They each have their own personalities and I think they will be best buds because their personalities compliment one another. Marc is more similar to Billy and James is similar to me. :) I feel so fortunate that I am able to be at home with the boys and can enjoy the daily routines with both of them. We love you boys and are so lucky to have you as our son's!

Utah Summer Vacation 2010

Last week Billy, Marc, James and I went on vacation to Utah. We took the boys so they could meet Billy's mom and step-dad and sisters. We were also able to stop and see my Grandma Watts, Aunt Susan, Uncle Nick and Aunt Wilda and Monica and Laura (2 of my great friends from college). We had a great time and it was well worth the trip.

Here is my Grandma Watts and Marc hanging out on the couch. Thanks Grandma for making the cute bears for the boys! They will love them as they grow up!

James and Aunt Susan hanging out. We love our Aunt Susan and the boys love her already too!

Monica, Laura and I all met up at Laura's house for a few hours to hang out. It is fun because we all have babies that were born within 2 months of each other. The babies are actually in order of their age...Charlotte, Audrey, Marc and James. Hopefully these babies will get to know each other throughout the years as we visit one another. :)

On Thursday, we went bowling with Billy's family...his mom, and sisters Jana and Tammy and his niece and nephew Taylor and Anthony. We had a great time and I won one of the games and Anthony won the other.

Tammy, Taylor, Cathy and Jana at the bowling alley.

We stopped in Vegas on the way home to end the vacation. We walked down the strip and made a few stops to have some fun. Here Billy is pushing the boys back to the casino that we stayed in.

We stopped at the coke store and I had the best raspberry diet coke. They definitely need to package that flavor. I tried chocolate diet coke and it was a little too much for me. Raspberry is definitely the way to go!

Back to bowling in the SLC...I got the pics out of order...Here Taylor is with James. He is sleeping!

Jana with Marc...she still has the motherly touch even though it's been 14 years since she has had a baby. :)

Anthony loved holding his baby cousins. Here he is with Marc. Too bad they are 14 years apart!

Papa taking a nap with James...I love it when they cuddle up and nap together. Definitely Cunningham boys!

We also stopped and saw Michael George, Billy's childhood friend. We met his girlfriend April and they both loved the boys. We had a delicious dinner with them (gotta love Cafe Rio) but had to bail early because of cranky kids. I guess that's the reality now. Can't stay out til all hours of the night.

We had a great trip and loved seeing all our family and friends. When we go to Utah it makes me want to move back...We love our family and friends there and had a great time visiting and getting caught up with everyone.
