Its been awhile!

Well, it is May! Wow where is the time going. We just had a fabulous weekend with my mom and grandparents. They just couldn't get over how much the babies have grown. It was so great to spend the weekend together. I miss being close to my mom!

The babies are doing so well. We go for our sixth month check up next Tuesday. I just can not believe that they tunred 6 months old today. I am so blessed with these two! It is amazing to watch them interact. They look at each other and just talk and laugh away. Auston truly loves his "sissy". He just stares at her! It is soo cute! They are doing well with meeting milestones. Both babies are rolling both ways and have started on solid food. They love to eat! We have not found anything that they will not eat yet! Both babies are teething. I see the white in Austons gums more than Anlseas should be close! I sure wish that teething was not such a painful thing! Both babies absolutley love to be outside. We have had so much fun bringing them to the beach and just sitting with them on our back porch. So, all in all everything is perfect at the Odom house!

Awesome Saturday

It was a beautiful day in South Texas yesterday. Not a cloud in the sky, no crazy wind, and a high of 84. We were able to take the babies out, it was great. I was so proud of them we went to lunch and several stores, we were gone about 7 hours and they never made a peep until it was close to their time to eat. I couldnt believe they stayed in carseats the whole day! We bought a double jogging stroller yesterday, I must say its pretty cool! Chris is excited because you can hook your I-pod to it. I cant wait to see what this beautiful day has in store for our family!

Bad blogger!

Wow I am a bad blogger. I can not believe it is already March. The babies are 4 months old! We had the 4 month check up yesterday, everything went well. Auston is 10lbs 6oz and Anslea is 11 lbs 3 oz. Both babies are 23 inches long. They are growing right on track with their adjusted age. We are going to try cereal with a spoon this week, I can not believe its already time for that!

We just had a great weekend with my parents, it was so nice to have them here. It stinks that they live so far away but I am thankful they are able to come down. The babies are so much more engaging with smiling and cooing it makes for a great visit. You could eat them with a spoon...haha. We are looking forward to our trip to see them again in May, hopefully they will come back before then.

Auston is in love with his duck rattle, it must go everywhere with us. He talks to it for hours. Anslea is still the most laid back baby, she has become a thumbsucker and twirls her hair while she does it, very cute! They really are blessings and it so much fun to watch their personalities develop .

January 2010

Wow, this month has flown by. I have been terrible about keeping the blog updated. This month Auston started rolling over and Anslea is starting to smile at us. It is so exciting to watch them grow! They both are following us with their eyes and have the most inquisitive looks.

We have been trying to get Auston a formula that works for him, I believe we have found one finally! Poor little guy has a sensitive stomach! They both have grown so much. Auston is almost 8 pounds and Anslea is almost 9. They are doing so well.

I started back to work a couple of weeks ago and all is well. They seem to like the nanny and she is very good with them. We are very lucky to have such a good girl. She sends me updates through out the day which I love!

They will be 3 months old next week!! Time is flying! I still feel blessed every day to have these two in my life!

I can not believe this is my last week at home with the babies. The time has flown by. This week is filled with doctors appointments. It is already time for their two month vaccines. I still cant believe that they are two months old already! It is always crazy to think I wasnt even due to have them for two more days and here they are two months old. I am so thankful that they are doing great. They are growing so much. I cant wait to see how much they weigh on Thursday! They have outgrown their preemie clothes for sure.

We have been dealing with Colic with Auston. Well, Im calling it colic, he gets very cranky every day around 5:30 and cries til almost 9! It is horrible to hear the blood curdling screams and not be able to take it away. Im hoping that the peditrican will change their formula and that will help.

I hope everyone had a great holiday week. I know we did. Here it is 2010! Crazy!! I hope everyone has a year full of blessings!
