Merry Christmas and Happy 2 Months to Jacob and Julia

We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! We enjoyed dinner and a late night of game playing with friends on Christmas Eve. It was much different than being home with family, but we had a good time with 10 of our friends that showed up for dinner. Lily got to stay up late and had a ball playing with Varun's friends from work. After everyone left around midnight, we got to work on putting together Lily's Christmas present. After 2.5 hours and a few glasses of wine, we had finally got her train table and track put together.

As a Christmas surprise from the twins, we were able to sleep in a bit in the morning. Christina and Julia were up at 8:00 and got started on brunch while Varun, Lily, and Jacob slept in a little longer. Notice how clean the living room was before everyone woke up.

Around 9:00 the rest of the family woke up. Lily walked into the room to see her train table and she was so excited! She then found her stocking and a few more surprises waiting for her. She loved every bit of Christmas morning!




We spent the rest of the day in pajamas relaxing around the house. Lily played with her train table most of the day, Varun played around with his new remote control helicopter, and Christina did a little online shopping catching some awesome Christmas Day deals. At the end of the day, this is what the living room looked like...


Christmas Day was also the twins 2 month birthday! We cannot believe that they are already 2 months old. It seems like we just brought them home yesterday. Here are Jacob and Julia at 2 months...




At 2 months old, both Jacob and Julia are rolling over from stomach to back regularly. Julia has started to smile a lot and both babies are cooing and making more noises (other than crying). Jacob is now 9 pounds 5 ounces and 22 inches long while Julia is 9 pounds 1.5 ounces and 22 1/4 inches long. Both of them are sleeping and eating well and are doing great overall!
