lucky stella

stella and eli are very lucky to have such a patient and sweet big sister. we are trying to get the babies used to taking a bottle, and lena is doing a great job helping out!

wonder-dad!

here is chris trying out our new "maximom" twin carrier. this thing is quite the contraption. although eli's face looks a little distressed, they actually do like this!

wide eyes

more bathtime fun

there's something about babies in the bath that is just so cute, eh? (top photo is eli, bottom photo is stella)

mama's favorite dance

here's a photo of lena doing my favorite dance. it involves hunching down and moving your arms back and forth while making extremely goofy faces.

tinker kids

heads up!

well, ok, head up. stella can almost do it, too, but not for the camera!

twin stroller

make room for tinkers!

2 weeks old

fun with sister

lena took the babies on a bus ride, but ended up having to cover her ears to block out eli's crying. in the next photo, she's holding stella and wearing her fancy necklace and "diva" sticker on her forhead. very stylish!

first baths

hmm...i wonder who didn't like his bath?

babies at home

these two kids are doing great. we are tired but happy to be home and getting into the swing of things. stella had to have the vacuum on her head during delivery because she came down on her umbilical cord and had to get out quickly. you can see the bruise right on her forhead, but today it's almost gone. they are just the sweetest things. the first two pictures are stella, the last two are eli.

being together...

here are some photos of the babies either snuggling or womping on each other, depending on your perspective.
