my 2 month olds!!

be still my heart...my little loves are TWO MONTHS OLD!! i know that sounds like little babies still but to me they are getting so big and i know i say this every post but ohhhhh it is going too fast!! i truly love having babies so much this time and am so afraid it's going to be my last and it is flying right before my very eyes!! if i could rewind time back to july 24th and start all over with these 2 i would...even the L&D part :). here are my loves at 2 months...
seriously, you say?? is that the best pic i can get of the 2 of them?? well, it's better than this:
or this:

i'm telling you, it's a hard job photographing the 2 of them together!! this one's a little better...
you can see big sister's hands holding cullen's head and the sign in place there. my little helper :). we went to their 2-month check-up on friday and HOLY MOLY are they growing!! cullen was 11 lbs, 7 oz and 21 1/2 inches long, and liam was 13 lbs, 7 oz (!!) and 22 1/2 inches long!! they have both over DOUBLED their birth weight, and culley in particular has gained almost a pound a week since he got home from the NICU. it is funny b/c 11,7 is a good size for a 2-month old (50th %-ile) but i feel like he is still sooo tiny, compared to liam and sophie at that age. sophie was actually 13 lbs 12 oz at 2 months which was off the charts for a girl, and liam is holding steady in the 90th %-ile. i remember saying how happy i was that i had smaller babies this time so they would stay little longer...ha ha, joke's on me because apparently shane and i just do not produce small children, nor do i produce milk that grows small children :)! according to the dr. they are the picture of health and for that we are MOST grateful. at 2 months:
liam--my little snugglebug. i would snuggle you all day if i did not have other things to do :). you are my drama baby, going from smiling to all-out wailing in seconds if you are not happy. then we pick you up and you are all smiles again!! your reflux has been soooo much better this month!! you have been sleeping great at night (although fighting going down) and LOOOVE to eat. i love your chubby little legs and your biscuit feet and your precious dimples. i love how you calm down instantly in my arms and look just like your sister. you enjoy swinging in the swing and walks in the bjorn, and your little eyes are already turning brown. my love, i do not know what i did without you in my life. you make me laugh every day and i love you so much it's pretty ridiculous.
cullen--my angel boy. i see God's goodness all over your life. not one to snuggle so much, but full of curiousity and loving to look around. you so easily offer up smiles and coos and they melt my heart. you are the most laid-back little guy and really don't cry unless you are hungry. not loving the swing, but will sit in your bouncer and crane your head back at the TV for just about as long as i will let you :). we are not sure who you look like yet, but i am thinking daddy (which is a good thing, because i think he's pretty handsome!). not so interested in eating and a GREAT napper!! your eyes are still a gorgeous blue. your little personality endears you to me more and more every day. the true "baby" of our family, you complete it perfectly. i love everything about you!!
love from a sappy, sappy mama :)

i found your blog through someone from waco...don't know who. and i also met you briefly at kelly's 30th birthday party. we were both preggo. i've just been reading about your little ones. i love your writings, your heart, your gifts! my little one, griffin, turns two months on monday. where does time go? maybe one day when we get recooperated from lack of everything, we can start our little ones in a playgroup of some sort. i would love to meet your little men.

here's hoping our next month goes a bit slower than the first two!
