One month old

Cy and Presley turned one month old last week on the 21st.  This first month has gone by both quickly and slowly.  The day by day routine seems so slow at times but now that I look back I cannot believe these dudes have been with us for a month.  We did a little mini photoshoot to commemorate the milestone in these adorable outfits that Grammy got but happen to not be weather appropriate for May in Texas.  Head to toe fleece would make for some exceptionally sweaty and unhappy babies.

Cy is not feeling the love in these outfits...Presley is rockin his signature wild man hair 


The bum has a cute little tail on it that wags when they wiggle around

We took the boys to their first party and as you can tell Cy was especially excited about going.  It was a crawfish boil with a bunch of med school friends.  I was really excited because the boys are finally starting to fit into some of their "real" clothes.  These past four weeks the boys have lived in the white onesie, so it was fun to put a real outfit on them for the party.

Cy still showing his excitement about the party.

I have not yet mastered the concept of actually taking pictures once we are out of the house but hopefully I will start remembering to do that so I can actually prove that we do leave the house from time to time.

On a side note, Paul finished his first year of med school this past week!  Presley and Cy say "Congrats Dad!"  We are very proud of you!

Auntie Mae comes to visit

Paul's sister, Meredith came to visit us last week and the boys just loved her. She was a huge help to me around the house and with Cy and Presley and she also took lots of great pictures that I am stealing to use for this post and the next!

Cy, Meredith and Presley

with Presley

We made our biggest trip out of the house when we drove to San Marcos for the afternoon and did a little shopping at the outlet mall. Like all of our excursions I learn something new every time to make life easier for the next trip out. This particular trip encouraged me to give the boys their first try at eating from a bottle. Sometimes they do a really good job and other times it is a little bit challenging to get them to eat without spitting up half their food.

Newborn pics

Cy and Presley had their first little photo shoot on Saturday and we got a few pics from the photographer early while she works on editing the rest. It was quite an experience trying to keep both boys happy at the same time. Pee was shooting everywhere when the diapers came off, but hey, that's just what little boys do!
