More Pics

To look at this picture of Alexa and then one of her taken in the hospital there is a noticeable difference. Alexa was so small when she was born, only 3lbs 12 oz. Here you can see that she is starting to get a little meat on her bones. Her face has also filled out more. What a cute little girl!
How do you get a picture like this? Well, you have to have a lot of patience. It took hours! Especially when you have twins. The key is to have an electric heating pad under the blanket so the babies stay nice and warm and want to go to sleep. We were afraid that they might not sleep. Photos of sleeping babies are usually taken during their first month of life but they were in the hospital then and by the time the photographer had an opening they were two month old. I'm so glad that they let us get these shots and slept for a little while.
The blessing dress here is actually longer, it's bunched up. Mya's aunt Jen made it for Mya when she was a baby. It's a beautiful dress. I'm glad that we were able to use it twice!

Don't they look sweet?

Hi Heather! Lauren Brutsch here. I clicked over from Kellie's blog. Those pictures are so precious. I can't believe how much they already look like Mya!
