So much has changed!

Well, another few weeks have past, and things are continually changing. These kids seem to do something new every day. It's amazing to watch them learn and grow! Mason is doing significantly better with his acid reflux. It hasn't gone away by any means, but his medication has limited the frequency and duration of his episodes dramatically.

As you can see, he has moments when he's a pretty happy little camper! He's our little Mr. Intensity... When he's happy, he's all smiles and cooing. When he's upset, he's a little tornado! Watch out! He's developed a special bond with his mommy, and sometimes she's the only one

Who can calm him.

Of course, then we have our little sweet Maddy girl! She's the easy baby! Well, most of the time!

However, when she screams, put some ear plugs in! This little girl can yell!

She has the cutest cry too! It's hard not to laugh a little at how dramatic she can make her cry sound!

Daddy stuck his tongue out at her last week and she thought that was so funny! What cracked us up was when she started doing it too!!! Now she'll instigate the game. We'll be changing her diaper at 2 am after a feeding and she'll stick her tongue out at you and then get this huge smile on her face! It maybe the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life.

Life with them is getting a little more manageable. They're sleeping at night a little more. We'll get 5 hour stretches of sleep pretty consistently, which is like gold to us. We've also figured out some of they're likes and dislikes, which makes life a little easier. Example; Maddy loves her swing while Mason prefers the bouncy chair.

Still, it's difficult raising two! As you can see in the picture below, sometimes you just need more hands!!! I love Mason's face in this picture, he looks like he's saying "What is going on????"

Having two, it's a rare occasion to not have a baby on you. We've been forced to learn how to do everyday tasks with one arm. Amanda hasn't mastered eating spaghetti one handed yet!

Luckily, mason was out cold and never knew what hit'em.

Well, that's it for now. Thanks for checking in with us.

Enjoy your day and God Bless,

The Needham Family

Our pictures are in!

We have more that we'll post soon...Pretty cute.

SO SO BUSY

I'm finally updating this after two weeks! We've been incredibly busy!
Well, things are going okay. We have good days and bad days. Mason is feeling better most days now. Every few days he has an episode and chaos ensues for a day or so, but then he calms down and usually has a couple good days. Maddy has become a little more touchy, and can sometimes out scream her brother! We're getting by though!
The good news is that they are both starting to smile at us! You can tell they're trying to talk to you too! When we talk to them they get all excited and start making little cooing noises. Very cute!
They're eight weeks old today, and headed in for their two month checkup! I think they get more shots today :-(
As for Amanda and me, we've been doing well. I've been busy wrapping up my EMT course and starting a full load of classes for spring term. I've also had to finish my clinicals, working in the ER for a 12 hour shift and preparing for my EMT state and national certification tests. Amanda has been breastfeeding twins... enough said! Any waking moment she has without a baby in her hands has been spent keeping the house and the bills in order. Life doesn't care if you've had twins, it keeps going and going, and we have to keep up!
Here are some recent pictures of the babies around the house and a couple from our beach trip last week! I hope everyone has a nice week!

God Bless
