IU Babies

Thanks Gerald and Miss Emily for the IU outfits the folks back home loved them! They look great in red!

Asleep at the wheel

As I arrived at the house, from taking my friend Elizabeth to the airport, Tom told me to "shhh" and he had something he wanted to show me. What he showed me was our little son asleep at the wheel of the exersaucer... too precious! Well we know where he gets that from!

75-59

Saturday was rivalry day in the Caldwell house. Cole donned the blue to cheer on the 'Cats. And Holland made "not so flattering" Indiana red look good.

As you can tell from the picture, Holland did not see much of the game because she is smiling. And Cole, although happy with the victory, was not to pleased with the 2nd half. Like the 'Cats in the 2nd half, he too left a big stinkie.

A Griswold Christmas

Ok so we STILL don't have a mantle and have decided to make the best out of the situation. I don't know what is more sad.... the fact that we have a stocking nailed to a 2 by 4 on our wall or the fact that the only one in our family that has a stocking right now is the dog. Mommy is going out this week to fix that!


Our Christmas Tree (Mommy tries to redeem herself)

Exersaucer Man and Discovery Mat Woman

This weekend we had fun with our Exersaucer. Cole can officially sit and "play" in the saucer and hold up his head like a big boy (until he gets tired!). The only thing he can't do is touch the floor with his feet so we had to provide a little help (at least Mommy's magazines are going to good use because she sure doesn't have time to read them!). Holland is not quite as strong as Cole and has more trouble holding up her head but is trying real hard. I included pictures of her on the play mat holding up her head for all to see.

Thank goodness for Real Simple magazine!


Proud boy!


Here she goes...


Hi world!

Catching Flies

Catching flies and sawing logs... these pictures were too precious to pass up!

The babies weigh in...

At 11 weeks, Cole weighs in at 12 lbs, 10.5 oz. Holland is falling behind her brother at 12 lbs. They are getting big so fast! Cole was able to go in his exersaucer and Holland has figured out her bouncy seat (if she kicks her legs, it makes sounds!). They are both doing really well. Mommy and Daddy try to keep them on the same schedule which means if one baby gets up, both babies get up, if one baby eats, both babies eat, etc. We have started to put them in separate rooms for naps in the day since Cole has soo much to say that Holland never gets any sleep! But no worries, at night they are back in the same room and sleep well. Oh that was another big event this week... Daddy called it the great migration. The twins have officially moved out of our room and up to the nursery. This was met with mixed feelings by Mommy but Daddy was thrilled to re-claim our room. We have turned the guest bedroom on the first floor into the babies room during the day and got the changing table and pack n' play out of our room. I do have to admit it is nice to have a little more space! Also new and exciting this week... the babies have made it 8 hours at night, which made Mommy and Daddy very happy!
