GO EAGLES!!

The boys are already huge EAGLES fans, and they love getting dressed up for the games.  We had people over last week, and I didn't get any pictures, but today we just watched as our little family of 4, and they were excited for the game!  I really try to keep the TV off when the boys are up because I've read that it's not good for babies.  Well, we obviously don't turn sports off because of our love for all Philadelphia sports, and the boys really do pay attention to the crazy movements on the TV... oh well :)  Eric took the pictures below while I tried to squeeze some smiles out.  Jordan was pretty serious while we were taking pictures, and started smiling like crazy after... such is life!

Favorite PJs :)

Grandma Schmidt got the boys these PJs long before they were here. They are nice and soft, and the boys are enjoying sleeping 9-10 hours/night for over a week now! Mom has enjoyed the long stretches, but still wakes up multiple times a night listening and hoping they won't wake up :) Jordan smiles a lot before I get the camera out and after I put it away. I think he knows I'm trying to catch him smiling and just wants me to put the crazy camera away and enjoy his smiles! Landon was pretty serious for this photo shoot too, and I think it was because it was right before bed time! I love how Landon is holding onto his brother in the first picture.. they love each other!!


Time for bed... we're sleepy!

Happy 4 Months!

Today the boys turned 4 months old!! They are growing so fast and we are loving every minute of it! Grandma was over today for the first time babysitting while I worked. We took a couple pictures before we headed to the doctor for their 4 month appointment. They did great and are both well over 12 lbs with Landon in the 3rd percentile and Jordan in the 10th percentile for weight. They are still little guys, but we are just glad they are on the charts!


The whole family with the sun in our eyes!


That's a little better.. no sun!


Landon still loves looking at himself in the mirror!

Sweet Boys

We had a great weekend full of fun with the boys. They are just starting to sleep through the night and it's making the days so much more pleasant for everyone! We had a fun day on Saturday which started with some tag sales with Uncle Adam, Aunt Lyndsay, their friends (Michael and Karen) and Landon's girlfriend, Maddy :) Later in the day we headed over to the art festival in Doylestown where the boys were awesome and took a 2 hour nap in the stroller in spite of the crowds and loud music :) Then for dinner Grandma and Grandpa Schmidt and Aunt Lyndsay and Uncle Adam came over for some great ribs. Overall it was a great day with family and the boys enjoyed every second! Then on Sunday was the first EAGLES game and we had a nice group of friends over. I didn't get pics of all these fun activities because we were too busy having fun! We did get some pics of the boys in some cute outfits though... we also did the famous chair pics, although we weren't super happy with any of them.. oh well.. there's always next time!


Best Friends


Landon was in a great mood!


We really have to sit in the same chair still, come on Mom!


Wanna hold hands?

At the tag sale, Daddy found some shoes. Jordan decided to model them! I think they are almost too small already... gonna have to wear them every day for a week to make it worth the $1 they cost!!

Sweet Jordan

Jordan sometimes wakes up from naps early, and today it was up to Eric to calm him down before he headed over to the swing (to finish up his nap!). There is also a pic of the diaper change because it's one of Jordan's favorite times. He gets Daddy's full attention and lots of kisses... it really is too cute!

Jordan was so sad at first...


Within seconds... all better!


Yeah! Daddy time!


Ready to relax

Just hanging out...

There hasn't been too much new stuff going on here, but I thought it would be good to post some pics anyway :) Since we got home from the beach, the boys have taken turns sleeping through the night, so I still haven't slept through the night since my pregnancy days... but I'm not complaining. They are getting closer, and if it weren't for a growth spurt this week, I think we might have had success, so I just keep waiting!

I started back to work part time this week and I'm really excited to see how it goes. I'm lucky enough to work for a great company that was willing to allow me to come back part time and without the crazy travel while I continue to adjust to my new 'lifestyle'. Grandma Peggy will be over 2 days a week to help out with the boys, and we're both excited for the new arrangement!

The boys continue to show thier personalities and we are enjoying getting to know them better each day! We've learned that Landon LOVES the mirror and even if he is in the middle of a big fit, once he sees himself, there is an instant smile! Landon has also really enjoyed the Jumperoo, even though he's technically not big enough yet, he's fine with jumping on the pillow we place underneath it. He continues to eat well and has slept through the night a couple times. He still enjoys waking up and watching Mommy stumble around and try to figure out if he's hungry, has a dirty diaper or just woke up to say hi around 4:00 AM :)

Jordan continues to be a little sweet guy the majority of the time. He likes to practice using his voice by 'talking' and making noises whenever he's awake. He also plays with his hands and fists a lot, and will follow us all over the room with his big blue eyes. When Landon actually holds still for a second, he will reach over and grab his hand or just stare at him when he's playing. I can tell they are going to be great friends and entertainment for each other in the future!

I haven't done great at taking many pictures lately, and I need to work on it! Eric took the pictures below of Jordan and then both boys. Eric is doing well still and really loving being a daddy. I appreciate all his help and support, I couldn't do it without him!


Jordan's typical posture.. playing with his hands


Just hanging out


I don't know why he put Landon on Jordan's Lap... but neither one seems too upset about it :)
