Merry Christmas Letter!
Merry Christmas Everyone!
Babies are doing well. Here are their stats:
August- Height: 21 3/8 inch. Weight: 9 lbs. 10 oz.
Olivia- Height: 20.5 inches Weight: 8 lbs. 11 oz.
Max- Height: 22 1/4 inches Weight: 12 lbs. 5.5 oz.
As you can see they are progressing nicely. They had their 2 month shots the other day as well. Everyone did well. Max showed his affection for the doctor by taking a big dump on the exam room table. (That a boy!) He continues to wear the cannula until his appointment in January (2nd). Hopefully it will be gone soon. We're getting sick of the baby attached to a tube routine.
August is still very laid back. He really doesn't cry he just grunts or groans. When he does cry it's super high pitched. We think he must have been a choir boy in a last life. He also slept 6 hours last night. One down two to go.
Olivia is starting to voice her opinions. She seems to be a very good observer. She'll listen to Max and then will cry like he cries. She's smart too. She knows we will come pick her up if she shoots out her little wail. She must be like her mom.
We are starting to "sleep train" the babies this week too. We found this book, Twelve Hours in Twelve Weeks, and we are taking our process to the next level. Now that they eat every 4 hours around the clock, we have to try to eliminate one of the night feedings. The first night was interesting to say the least. With Mike up for 2 hours and me sleep walking through the whole thing, we are starting to feel the burn of sleepless nights. Please pray that we figure out this process and get the kids to sleep at least 5 or 6 hours without eating or waking us up. That would be amazing!
Thank you everyone for all your continued thoughts and prayers, the food you've brought by, the cards and gifts you've sent, the things you've let us borrow, the promotions you've gotten for us, the rooms you've cleaned, the bottles you've fed and the podees you've put together! 2008 has been a blessed year for us. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We can't wait to see what 2009 will bring.
Love, Kelly Mike, August, Olivia and Max

They are growing so quickly! And even in the still shots you can see they are startin to become more individual. In some shots Max looks a little like his Grampa Steve -- maybe it's the eyebrows . .
Anyway, good luck with the 12-hour training. How dows that work -- do you do it in half-hour steps? As long as it works, and all 5 of you can get a good night's sleep!
Merry Christmas, and to all a big hug!
Love, L
