Twin Newborn Photos

While my mom was here, she took some beautiful newborn pictures. They turned out great! It's hard to believe our sweet babies will be 3 weeks old tomorrow! It has been so fun to watch their little quirks and personalities emerge.

Eden is growing like a weed. When we left the hospital, she had dipped down to 4 lbs 14 oz but by her 2 week appointment, she was already up to 6 lbs 4 oz! While she is catching up to her sister, Nate still likes to call her Little Peanut. She is incredibly observant and when she is awake, she is wide eyed and eager to take everything in. She tends to make a squaking sound when she is trying to get your attention. She also sneezes frequently and loudly just like her dad. My mother in law swears she looks just like Nathan did as a baby.

 

Lydia is also growing well and is back up above birth weight. She was 7 lbs 8 oz at her 2 week visit. She has a "salmon mark" on her forehead and eyelid that her pediatrician says will fade over time but will be more prominent "when you piss her off." She also has a "stork bite" on her neck but it is hidden beneath her cute rat tail! I like to call her Snuggle Bug because she loves to wrap her arms around my neck and give me hugs. She tends to have a somber expression when she is awake but she also has frequent gas smiles that I like to pretend are real smiles. Her favorite sound to make is a cross between a grunt and a moan.

I am so blessed to be their mother and so excited to continue to watch them grow!
