Lisa's smile
I love how she smiles with her eyes! My beautiful baby girl. I haven't gotten a picture of Levi's smile yet. His is just as precious.

Exciting news X5
Last night at our friends' house I put Lisa down on her belly on the floor. She pushed herself over and flipped to her back. I put her back on her belly and she did it again three more times!! I don't remember Alex doing that so early. I gotta really watch out now-Levi scoots and Lisa now rolls. Two mobile babies is my only fear with twins. Keep us in your prayers.
They are both continually sleeping at least five to six hours straight at night. A few times I woke up on my own to find that I had slept seven and a half hours. Of course, they proceeded to wail as soon as I checked on them. Oh happy days.
I was blessed with a ton of ready to use formula and am slowly getting through some of it. I have until November 1st to use the two ounce bottles and until April for the eight ouncers. Since I am not giving them more than maybe six ounces a day (usually more like two), it will be quite a while to use it all up. I have given a lot away to others with new babies but still have a bunch left for us.
The twins used their last newborn sized diapers today and have been graduated to the size ones. Lisa could still wear newborns for another couple weeks but Levi's chunky little self wasn't fitting so well. They have also outgrown their newborn clothes. Lisa has a couple dresses she can still wear, but most of the newborns have been put away. I can't believe I am already doing that. They were so big on the babies when I first brought them home.
Levi is now over ten pounds and Lisa is almost nine. They are 22 inches long and doing really well. Alex loves showing them off almost as much as I do. He tells everyone he sees that he has twins. They are his babies. He is also protective of them and tries to snuggle any chance he gets. The only thing that bothers me is that he calls them, "the boy" and "the girl." When I ask what the boy's name is, he answers "Lisa Charles." He got it half right.

Park
I found a new park on the way home from Alex's school. There was a soccer game in the field next to it and this little digger shovel contraption. Alex was in heaven.

Off the beaten path
This is what our weekends here have begun to look like. We start out going somewhere then end up on a long bumpy twisty mountain road. Absolutely beautiful scenery. Alex has fallen asleep almost every trip. Weekend road trips are definitely nicer in the mountains than in Texas.
P.S. Don't tell anyone I said that! :)
