Two Peas in a Pod




(Alyssa in pink and Hannah in green) That's what daddy likes to call us. They are the 2 peas and I am the pod. We are all doing great. The girls are eating and gaining weight and looking more and more beautiful everyday. We are really getting to know them and they are really as different as two kids can be. Alyssa has become the louder fussier one now. Hannah is more calm, but really lets you know when she wants something. They look very different too. Their hair, ears, noses even skin tone are so different. Their cries are different and we can tell who is crying. They like different things. Alyssa loves to be bundled in a blanket and will lay perfectly still. Hannah wants her arms out and moves around until she gets them out. Alyssa doesn't like to suck a pacifier and Hannah does. Alyssa is a fussy eater and takes forever but she is a good burper. Hannah is slow and steady when eating and will empty a bottle quickly, but then she doesn't want to burp. It is amazing how different they are. We are in love with them and loving every minute we spend with them. We are learning them and they are getting to know us too. When their daddy picks them up they stop crying. They love to hear his deep voice. He talks to them and tells them stories while he helps feed one in the middle of the night. He is a phenomenal dad. I love watching him change diapers and hold them and feed them. He only passes them to me once they start throwing up. He is not real good with that yet. :) They are sleeping well at night if we don't let them sleep too much during the day. If we have been out during the day, they sleep in their car seats too much and then have a hard time going to sleep at night. We try to keep them awake more in the evening so they will sleep when we are ready to sleep. On good days, we get them down between 10 and 11pm and then they wake up between 1 and 2am and then again between 5 and 6 am. Then I might be able to get them to sleep in a little more till about 8 or so. It is getting better. The first 2 weeks or so, I thought I would never sleep again. Each week gets a little better. They are napping right now that is the only way I can get stuff added to this :) I only have a little time between feedings. I will try to do my best to keep adding more pictures. Keep checking in for updates. :) Love to you all!
