Newborn pictures

My amazing friend Megan took the boys newborn pictures. Since they were in the hospital the first 3 weeks of life we didn't take their pictures till they were a month and 1/2 old. This was not ideal, I defiantly recommend taking them that first week of life! lol the boys were not having it. We woke them up from their nap, and I was thinking well they will just fall right back to sleep during the shoot.... No, they decided to stay up the whole time and cry, so mad at me for waking them up early ( hey its my first time I didn't know any better :) ). I felt so bad for Megan, she came to my house, brought the best props, and we could not use them :( the boys would not go on their stomachs, they would not sit by each other, Megan defiantly had her work cut out for her. But to my surprise she still had good shots! that just goes to show you how great of a photographer she really is.. Check her out.. she is amazing!

Two Months

I have not had a lot of opportunity to blog these days. The boys are still on a three hour schedule and I just cant seem to get them to sleep longer at night. Some nights they go 4 hours then they go back to three. They wake up at the same time still, even if they go later in their feedings. Its so funny to me, because they are sleeping in different rooms now. I had to move them because they just would not nap together, they make to much noise!

The boys are two months old now. It has gone by so fast! It amazes me how much they have grown. At their two month check up Porter Weighed 10 14oz and was 21 1/2 inches long and Tate weighed 11 lbs 1 oz and 21 3/4 inches long. They are still only three ounces apart but I swear Tate looks so much bigger to me! He must just keep those three oz in his cheeks. Porter is still my more stubborn sleeper. He gets so tired but fights it till his last breath, its so funny he cries for a while then all of a sudden he is out. Tate on the other hand is getting so good! I can tell when he is tired at his first yawn, I then wrap him up and put him down, most times he goes down with out crying but if he does cry its for about a minute.

Porter is a daddies boy. He loves Chase, its hard for me to get him to laugh but when Chase gets home he lights up, shows his dimples and literally laughs so hard. He will even put off feeding for a while just to sit with Dad. Tate is more of a feed me now kind of guy, he wants his food the minute he wakes up, will cry until he gets it then when he is done he will give you the time of day.

They are both still really gassy, but since I switched formulas it doesn't seem to hurt them as much :). Tate just got diagnosed with acid reflux. My mom came in last week to help with the boys and help us move ( that is a whole other blog post). She came at the perfect time, the boys had to get their 2 months shots, so she was there to help with that, then Tate all of a sudden started crying so hard during every feeding, he would not take the bottle and it took about 2 hours to feed him. It was the saddest thing, so we took him to the dr. got him on some medicine and he is doing much better!

Visitors

My best friend Chelcie and her family were in Utah and came by to see the little boys about a month ago! I was so excited for them to come over. Chelcie and I are two weeks apart and grew up best friends, We lived at each others houses and our families are like our 2nd families. Her siblings feel like my siblings and her parents are like my parents. We would go on family vacations together, have our birthday parties together and basically do everything together. Since I live in utah I never see the Clawsons as much as I would like, so I was so excited for the boys to meet their "other" family.

My sister Lori then came to stay with me for almost a week and help with the boys. I am so lucky to have her as my sister, She is pregnant and has a one year old at home so I know how tired she must of been, but she still took the time to fly to Utah and help me with my babies. I am so appreciative of her and all her help. I miss her so much. Thank you Haws for letting me borrow her for so long! She helped me get the boys on a schedule and try to sleep train them. They are fighters when it comes to taking naps, so it was nice to see her cool tricks and having an extra pair of hands to put them to bed.
