Ava can walk for 3 steps...she says dada,baba,papa, and other babbles. Ireland tries to walk but she goes too fast! She says dada, baba,mama and other babbles.

We checked them out today and Ava is 20lbs and Ireland is 19lbs! Wow, they are getting big, but thankfully do not have the michelin syndrome haha!

8 months old and full of energy

The girls are now 8 months old and a few days and are definitely keeping us busy. Our schedule is normally like so:
between 5-6a Ireland wakes up (Jake normally gets up to feed her if it is early enough for him to get ready too)
between 6:30-7a Ava wakes up

There are sometimes naps, but normally not. If there are naps, it is only for a short period of time. Ireland took a 2 hr nap today and Ava didn't take one until I went for a little drive.

Jake will get home around 3p and then I get a break!!! I basically go into work or work in the back of the house for about 4 hrs...

They both pull themselves to stand and Ava even tries to take a walk. She took one step the other day, but then stopped and sat down. Ireland is getting really good at picking small things up. They are growing up so fast!

They started eating solid foods a while back...they love everything! I haven't found anything at all that they don't like! Is that good or bad? :)

We are off for a trip to Denver in April so we can try to setup our move and hopefully get jobs. I am still trying to work from home...we will see if it is possible! :) I am hoping to get more into my photography. I really want to take a class just to refresh everything I learned a long time ago...

Jake is wanting to go back to school for nursing...he wants to either be an OR or ER nurse...I am all for it...we just need to find time to fit it in and be able to pay our bills!! Tough!

All is well in Grayland...hope all is well for everyone else!

New pics

Here are some recent pics of the girls. They are getting big!! :)

It has been a while!

Updates on Babies!
They are almost 4 months old and are growing like crazy! Both are cooing and trying to sit up all the time. They giggle and smile all the time. Ava weighed 14.5 lbs last week and Ireland weighed about 13.5! Crazy! They are getting more hair and are looking so cute! They still aren't sleeping all night consistently, but Ava seems to sleep more than Ireland! She slept from 8p-6a last night! We definitely have our hands full and are getting lots of help from my parents! :) Thanks guys!!

Who called the 15th?

I want to introduce everyone to the newest additions to the Gray family...Ava and Ireland were born Friday night at 6:28 (ireland) and 6:29 (ava). They are both doing really great with the exception of one minor problem. We found out first hand the power of explosive diarrhea. Thank goodness Ava's bottom was pointed down and not up or S@#$ would really would have hit the fan. They both are starting to eat a ton...Ireland is eating more than Ava at the moment (minor victory for all the smaller twins in the world). We are really excited about them and cant wait until we can get them home sometime tomorrow. Enjoy the pics.

updating just to update

Babies are doing well still. Had to do the some labwork on Saturday and will get the results back tomorrow. They will get measured again tomorrow...I have gotten edema back with a vengeance so I have been trying to swim every day. By swim, you have to know, it isn't real swimming...but it does help me feel better.

Don't know the due date...the only way we are going to know is if the test results are bad or if I go into labor...
