Ashton is bigger

He is has found that we wants to sleep on his left side. Like his father feeding is a special time and any gas bubble is distressing. At night I am told he can be long and hardy complainer about a gas bubble. I know from experience he is a slow feeder by day, I don't envy momma's night duty.  

Alea in a onezee

The older she gets, and in a few days it will be a month, her unique personality shines.  Here she is getting ready for a feeding so the stretching and yawning gently brings her up and ready to let everyone know it is time for momma to show up.

Baby Quail in the backyard

Got a shot of these babies, they are nesting near by. It seems this brood has only a dad, he brings them by twice a day for a snack at our sunflower bird feeder. This was the mid-day feeding. I wonder what happened to the pea hen and the rest of the little ones. 

The Julie and Clayton Guiraud Children

One day they are babies and then you turn around and they are toddlers. Alexis is 30 months. THE BIG SISTER and ruler over all things....

Alea and Ashton making plans

Now, Alea if we stick together we can get whatever we want. Look, all they want now is for us to open our eyes. Keep them shut just a little longer maybe someone will pick us up.

I have my hands full

Well, well, well do I ever have my hands full. I don't have a hand to scratch my nose or theirs. Ashton like his NUK not so Alea. Both of these little ones fuss only a little and settle down as soon as they are held. Who has who trained.

Julie, Clayton, Alexis and the twins

This picture should been posted before the babies were born but I am adding it now. Julie was 36 weeks. Felicia took it and many more.  I like it too!

My Garden Camellias

 One of my camellias taken this spring.

Alea

Alea is a little more petite at 7-3 oz and 19 inches long. She was on the bottom. Now that she is free of Ashton sitting on her. She grunts and stretches those legs awake and asleep, her mouth opens and that tiny tongue is moving about. She scrunches up that little face while she is sleeping. Julie says she jumped and kicked throughout the entire pregnancy.  

NOTE the length of those finger nails it says these babies were definitely full term

Ashton

This is Ashton's first photo op. A little sleepy but "Here's looking at ya" Weighing in at 7-12 oz and 20 inches long. He was the twin on the top with more room to lay back and stretch out.

Baby Hold on Tight
