Max and Alex Update

We went to the doctor this last week for Max and Alex's 2 month checkup. The boys are doing great! Both boys grew quite a bit, and Alex has now caught up to Max and was actually bigger (both length and weight) than Max. Max weighed 11 pounds 1 ounce and measured 22 and a quarter inches long. Alex weighed 11 pounds 4.5 ounces and measured 23 inches long. We have actually packed away all of their 0 to 3 month clothes and have now moved on to the 3 to 6 month outfits! Mommie always loves new clothes even if they are not for her! Both boys also got their first round of vaccinations- 6 shots each. There were probably more tears in mom's eyes than Max and Alex during their vaccinations. I blame it on hormones :)

The boys are still eating every 3 hours but will usually skip one feeding at night- it's too bad they don't skip the same one so we could get more than 2 hours of sleep at a time. They are definitely a bit easier to manage though. Both Andy and I have taken our turns taking care of both boys by ourselves and no damage has been done so far! We are also starting to get rewarded with smiles and babbles. And for those of you who differentiate Max and Alex by Alex's hair, you may have to find something else to identify them by as it seemed like overnight Max's hair has starting growing in. It will be interesting to see if his hair looks similiar to Alex's or not.

Other than that, we are enjoying the holiday season and snowy days. With the help of NanaJi and Meeni Masi, we actually managed to get our Christmas Lights and Tree up. We'll post some more pics up soon.
