Happy 5 Year Anniversary, Chris!!!

I can't believe that we have been married for five years already! Time sure does fly. I remember our anniversary last year. We were in the middle of our third IVF cycle and we even had to take my Lup.ron shot to dinner with us that night just in case we hit traffic or something happened and we couldn't make it home in time for the shot. Little did we know that a little over a month later we would get the best news EVER!! Chris and I grew so close as a couple during our infertility struggle and since Logan and Paige have been born we've gotten even closer. I'm so grateful that the challenging times in our lives have made us stronger and not torn us apart. Our marriage is such a blessing and I thank God for giving me Chris as my husband every day. :-)

Chris, you are an amazing man! You have been such an incredible husband these last five years and you are such an amazing dad to Logan and Paige! I love to watch you with them. It just melts my heart to see how much you love them! I'm so glad that God chose us to walk this journey of life together. Happy Anniversary, my love! I can't wait to celebrate many more with you!!

3 months

Are my babies really three months old already??? They are growing so fast! They actually turned 3 months old last week but life has gotten in the way and I'm just now finding time to finish this post. Oh well!
Their little personalities are beginning to develop more and more each day. I love it! They both like to smile and babble a lot. It's so cute! They are starting to interact more with their toys now. They love to be read to and that makes mommy very happy. :-) I LOVE to read and I especially love getting to read to them. Bath time is also one of their favorite times too. Logan really likes to splash around in the bath now and can make quite the mess! They both still sleep in the pack 'n play in our room at night, but for the last three weeks they have started taking naps in their own beds in the nursery and have done really well. They both still need to be swaddled at night and for naps. We recently purchased the swaddle sacks and they work great!! Here's what they're up to!
Logan~ You are still such a ham!! You love to smile, especially if we stick our tongue out at you. You also love to stick your tongue out and mimic us!! You are such a happy boy and always kicking those legs and moving your arms. Your big blue eyes just melt my heart! Who would have ever thought that we would have a blue-eyed child. :-) You are wearing size 1 diapers and size 0-3 month and 3 months clothes. You're getting so big! Two weeks ago you weighed 10 lbs 8 oz. You have now caught up with your sister. I have a feeling that you're well on your way to surpassing her in weight now. You still drink about 4 oz every 3 hours during the day but sometimes you'll drink up to 5 or 6 oz. Such a growing boy! Your bedtime bottle is at 9:30 and then you're in bed by 10:30...most of the time. Sometimes you get an extreme case of the wiggles and it takes longer for you to settle down for bed. :-) You usually wake in the morning between 6:30-7:00. This makes mommy happy!
Paige~ You are such a cutie pie!! Your plumpy cheeks just kill me! You have started smiling more and it just warms my heart to see your little smile. Bless your heart, you still have such a rough time with your tummy. You will just scream in pain and it breaks my heart that I can't do anything to fix it. Mommy is SO ready for you to outgrow this...for both of our sakes! Ha! You are wearing size 1 diapers and wearing size 0-3 month and 3 months clothes. Two weeks ago you weighed 10 lbs 8 oz. You drink between 3-4 oz every 3 hours during the day and occasionally will drink 5-6 oz. You are getting so big! I wish I could just freeze time and keep you at this stage. You are such a sweet cuddle bug!! I love it! If you could just lay on daddy's chest and cuddle all day you would. It's so sweet. :-) You take your bedtime bottle at 9:30 and you're in bed by 10:30. You usually sleep until about 6:00-7:00 in the morning. :-)

Here are their 3 month photos. I can't believe how big they're getting!
