This is Mary Robert...

For some time the girls have requested to create their own blog entries, so here goes...this entry is from Mary Robert. Hi, I am Mary Robert. I am now 11 weeks old - I am not sure when my mommy will stop counting my life in weeks but anyway. I am the oldest and the biggest and constantly remind everyone that I should receive the most attention. For the first few weeks of my life, I cried a lot to let everyone know that I was the dominant twin. My mommy and daddy called me "colicky." My daddy was often the only one that could console me but maybe that was because eventually everyone else around just got tired of my screams and left the room. My parents talked to the doctor about it and my mommy stopped drinking milk from a cow and started drinking milk from a soy - and wow - all better. I still cry but mainly because I have lost my pacifer. I love the green "soothie" newborn pacifer. I hate it when it falls out of my mouth. During the night, when it falls out daddy or mommy will come running and shove it back into my mouth before I wake Hayes. Speaking of Hayes, she is okay, I guess. We are starting to smile at each other and she might be cool to play with one day. She has acid reflux so mommy and daddy work hard to keep her from spitting up. She makes a mess of a lot of bibs and has lots of uniform changes. She has to sit up for a long time after she eats. Me - after I eat - I love to get on the floor and kick my legs. We went to Etown for the first time last weekend. I like Etown - mommy ate a hamburger from Melvins and a biscuit from Meltons - boy were those good. In Etown, we went to a Sip and See held in our honor. It was fun...lots of people came to hold us and talk about how cute we are. Everyone kept saying I look like my daddy. I guess so. Tomorrow we are going to daddy's ball games - my Eason grandparents will be there. :-) Sunday we will go back to the ball park and my Petteway grandparents will be there. Our Grand Mimi (mommy's grandma) came to visit yesterday. She likes to play with me. On Tuesday, our nanny, Dixie started coming to stay with us during the day. Mommy says this makes her a little sad because she will have to go back to work soon and will not be able to spend all day everyday will us. Mommy goes back to work on April 13. I will miss mommy like I miss my daddy during the day but know that she (like daddy) will come back at night time. Mommy keeps telling us about a bunny that is coming to see us - not sure about all of that but I hear he brings toys and candy. I do not get to eat candy but mommy and daddy are excited about buying it for me. Well, that is all for now. Soon you will hear from Hayes but remember - I am older and bigger.

Me and Hayes before a ball game. We missed the first pitch and I was mad that we were late.

After the game, I was too tired to take off my uniform.
