We are...

 We are 5 months old!! 
 Mom and Dad let us eat our first solid food this weekend!  We ate bananas and we LOVED them.  Now we have a banana every morning and afternoon and it's so delicious.  This weekend Mom is making us Sweet Potatoes...mmmm!
 We love to watch our Daddy work in the yard.  We can't wait to get out there and play with him when we're older.
 We love to laugh at our Mommy.  She is so funny! 
We roll all over the place!

Life with two five month old babies is so fun!  They are such great entertainment for us and for each other.  And, to top it all off they are now sleeping 10 hours (Jack) and 8 hours (Carter) each night, which makes for a rested and happy Mommy.  Feeding them solid foods has been so exciting.  I wasn't sure how they would react but they both gobble it right up.  I love my little boys to pieces.

XOXO

We laugh, roll, tumble and bounce

 I laugh!
 I know how to melt Mommy's heart.
Getting ready to head out with Mommy.  We went to the grocery store and couldn't make it past one old lady without being stopped and admired. 

It's nonstop action here at the Gordon household with these happy babies!  They are rolling all over the place, tumbling around, loving being bounced and put in the air for "flying baby."  We had our 4 month appointment last week and Carter weighs 17 lbs and Jack weighs 15 lbs.  They are both doing great, which is always so wonderful to hear.  We're getting out of the house quite a bit these days for morning errands and then an afternoon walk.  I'd love to bring them to the beach, especially with the warmer weather we're having but I am not sure I'm ready to venture to the beach alone with two infants yet.  We'll see if I can get the courage someday this summer.

We're still alive!

 All the cousins together at last!  It was so fun bringing all of the cousins together earlier this month.  On the couch you have Carter, Jack, Lydia, Josiah and Sally.  A whole bunch of Gordon's and one baby Hall. 
 4 1/2 month old baby Jack.  They are looking so much older to me lately.

So, I know I've been terrible about blogging lately, but there is a reason.  In an effort so save every penny we have so that I can be a stay at home mommy we have decided to get rid of internet at our home.  It's so difficult!!  I didn't realize how often I was on the computer for everything from staying connected through email and facebook to researching random baby things on babycenter.com.  I miss it terribly, to say the least.  But, it's one of the many things that we're able to give up so that these boys can be home with Mom all day.  I still plan to keep up with the blog, just not as often as I'd like.

Anyway, things here are going very well!  We are having a blast watching our two little ones grow and discover new things.  They are both rolling over now!!  It's so fun to watch how strong they get so quickly but also so scary to think that before I know it they'll be crawling!  Our house is filled with lots of laughter and chatter as these two go back and forth "talking" all day. 

Looking ahead:  This afternoon we have our four month doctor's appointment to get shots and this weekend we're going to start solid foods!!  Their first solid will be a banana and I can't wait to see how they react. 

I'll update again shortly, hopefully with a video of the twins chatting.

XOXO
