The drama begins. :)

The babies are 8 weeks old today. Sometimes I still get shocked when I walk into their nursery and see 4 little eyes staring at me. It's the greatest thing in the world. Anyways, in the process of taking the pictures I used in yesterday's post, I caught their first "fight". Take a look.

Lillian (brown) and Sophie (pink) started out the photo shoot happy and observant.

Sophie wound up her arm

Then went in for the hit

Lillian squealed while Sophie got distracted by the dryer. She might be the older baby by two minutes, but Lilly has always been bigger, so Sophie needs to watch her back...

Lillian wasn't quick to forgive.
(Totally kidding. This face was caused by me trying to get her to smile. Hilariously ironic, right? I laughed for about an hour straight. )

The babies continue to be a lot of fun, but a lot of work. A few nights ago, they both cried nonstop for about 3 hours straight. The only way I could sort of calm them down was to hold and bounce them both. So I paced the apartment holding two screaming babies for about almost an hour. I thought about calling someone for reinforcements, but most of my friends have babies themselves, or have work early in the morning. Plus, I haven't bugged anyone for help yet and I didn't want to start. Luckily though, this weekend we got them gas drops and that seems to do the trick (I'm telling ya, these ladies have some MAJOR gas issues). Another 'luckily' we can add to the list is the past two days they've been sleeping 6 hours at night. You have no idea how good 6 hours of sleep feels when you're used to 2. It's heaven. So, things are looking up and as they get older they're getting more awake and even more adorable.

I still have a bajillion posts in the making. We made the first overnight trip this weekend in honor of general conference and I was absolutely shocked at how successful it was. I may have been a zombie, but the girls loved being held by the dozens of people we saw and they loved being with both sets of grandparents. I realized fully how much our families love these babies. We didn't even need to bring the bouncy seats other than for sleeping because they were held the entire time. It was a nice break for me (slight confession there) to have so many people willing and excited to hold and play with them. Josh and I even got to go on a 'date' to In-N-Out for about 20 minutes on Saturday night. Talk about awesome.

Their two month appointment isn't until the 12th, so we still have no idea how much they weigh. However, I'm guessing somewhere in the 8lb range. That's a total guess though. All I know, is they aren't my tiny little babies anymore. They are turning into little tanks with fat rolls on their legs. I NEVER thought that day would come. :)

and one more time, I'll leave you with this fantastic picture of Lilly,
Hilarious.

And if you didn't catch the post from yesterday, check it out. I'm starting to tell people they're identical because people have started arguing (in a friendly way) with me over it.
