Baby Annika

Baby Annika, daughter of Esther and Tom, arrived exactly a month after Ella & Noah. Today was the first of many 'play dates.' Everyone nursed, peed, slept (and the Potoshnick kids screamed, but Annika was quite the little angel). All in all, a perfect day. Welcome to the world, Annika!

Babywearing

So, our household has latched on to the concept of wearing the babies and we all love it. The babies generally fall asleep in the carrier...and we get to do some things around the house as they snooze. Multi-tasking at its best!

the Moby Wrap

My view of Ella when she's in the Moby --so sweet.

Going out to eat

It was Friday morning around 7 AM. The babies had just finished their morning meal and mom and I were hungry. We decided to be brave, bundle up the babies, and take them on their first outing to a sit down restaurant, Egg Harbor. It went great! Both babies fell asleep in the car on the way over and slept through the whole meal. Is life returning to some kind of normal??

Every kid needs a good pair of fuzzy boots.

Ella and her beautiful Grandma --otherwise known as Nini.

Fighting Already

Here is Ella and Noah taking a nap together in the crib. Both were quite asleep and enjoying being by each other.


However, Noah decided that he would give Ella a little tap on the face, which she did not appreciate at all.

Ultimately, Mom had to step in and be the mediator.

Pictures: second time around

We had our photographer friend, Kim Johnson, back to take more pictures of the babes. To see a few samples click here.

Happy Valentines Day!

Thanks for our outfits, G & C!

Love, Ella & Noah

Nap Time

This weekend, Dad, Ella, Noah, and Moses all decided to take a nap... it was nice until the crying started about 10 minutes later.

A Nana-Papa-Nini-Grandpa Visit

Noah & Ella enjoyed a visit from their grandparents this evening.

Moses

Moses (our favorite little dog) has been adjusting to a new life where he is no longer the center of attention. He is quite curious about the babies, but doesn't quite know what to think. He looks bewildered when the babies cry, insists on taking their little Smart Wool booties, and has discovered that were there are babies, there is milk. Here he is trying to get Ella to play with him, but she's not interested.

Kim Johnson Photography

Our photographer friend Kim Johnson took some pictures of the twins when they were about one week old. Her pictures are awesome and we highly recommend her work. Check out her blog to see the pictures:

Sleeping

Day or night, Ella loves sleeping...


Noah loves a good nap as well.

Moses remembers when he was a puppy and used to take as many naps as he could...

Mom and Dad... not so much!

Papa Pish

Ella, our champion sleeper, goes through a complete stretching routine every time she wakes up. She spends at least few minutes in the pose below before she opens her eyes.

This is Noah with his buddy Isaac who is about 8 months old. We always thought that Isaac looked small...until he was side by side with Noah.

Twins v. 32 oz Nalgene

Some friends asked that we take a picture of the babes next to a standard size object. So, here are the twins with a 32 oz Nalgene bottle --they are about 2 weeks old.
