The Gardner Girls 2 month update

Eight weeks have quickly come and gone since the Friday evening birth of our little girls. I still can't believe God chose me to be their Mom and that I have TWO children! Life is currently amazing, sometimes stressful, and a little bit of craziness that I wouldn't trade for anything else in this world!

Liliana aka Lily aka Lily Bug

9 lbs 12 ounces 22 3/4 inches long

Lily is currently our little wide eyed child. She is full of life and doesn't want to miss a thing.

At 6 weeks old, she moved to size 1 diapers and out of newborn.

 (I may have teared up a bit!)

She also started eating 4 ounces at every feed due to this face...

 

Right at about 7 weeks, she started to wear size 0-3 month outfits and can fit into 3 month Carter outfits.

 

At 8 weeks, I could really notice her holding her head up really well and is starting to try and army crawl her way around...if she could only figure out how to get her arms moving at the same time! 

 

 

She likes looking around, staring at her sister, and burps like a champ. She has big blue eyes and blondish hair, that might have a slight reddish tint to it. She has loves her bath time, walks in the park with sister, and hanging out with her Dad. She recently discovered her love for music and will fall asleep in her swing.

Here's what Lily has been up to this month:

Snuggles with Dad

 

Busting out of her swaddle

Hanging in her new chair

Hanging out with Poppy, cousin Vaida, and her sister

She is going to love showing this picture to Maddie when she's older
 

 

Madelyn aka Maddie aka Maddie Rose

9 lbs 2 ounces 19.5 inches

 

Maddie is our quiet child (until she's hungry!) She is smaller in weight and length than her "older" sister and still acts very much like a newborn, which I'm 100% okay with :)

She looks a lot like her Poppy (my Dad) and loves when he comes over to visit and snuggle.

 

She is going to have dark olive skin, dark hair, and blue eyes.

 

 

She loves laying on her stomach and will lay/sleep on her Boppy for hours.

(supervised- of course!)

 

 

 

Maddie tends to let her sister steal the show. She is curious and will sit and stare while on her activity mat or in her Rock n' Play. Her feet and hands are always moving. She still dislikes diaper changes with a passion but loves bath time.

 Here's what Maddie has been up to this month:

Lounging on the couch

Great Grandpa comes every week.. and we love it!

1st time in her Bumbo chair

Sometimes I cry just so Daddy will hold me... even though I'm fine :)

Sleepy girl



Sister Time





First time in their big girl stroller

Activity mat time

Our 2 month photo shoot didn't go as planned.
Both girls were super sleepy and not happy campers!



 I may attempt new pictures soon... or just wait til next month :)
