A little late...

...but these precious babies turned 2 months old on Monday.

all dressed up and ready to be baptized

certainly his father's child

And now, because my time is limited, and more valuable than it was pre-babies, updates in bullet points!

• Sebastian's hair just keeps getting longer and thicker, and Katharina's curl still won't lay flat.

• Sebastian has been sleeping through the night (between 9.5-11.5 hours!) and Baby K is so close behind him.

Here's a sidenote: I'm so proud of them for going this far and for thoroughly thriving on the routine we've set, but a small bit of me is an even bigger bit sad. I have missed an uninterrupted night's sleep, but I adore waking up with one or both of them for mid-night feeds. And that time is coming to a close. Already (weren't they just born??). Bittersweet.

• Take a look at Peter's face and you'll be able to see how much he adores his babies. After all, everything he's doing-- working till 2:30am, classes all day nearly every day, paper-writing into the wee hours of the morning, everything-- is for them. That's a lot of love.

• The babies were baptized this past Sunday (video to come). Talk about joy.

• We are so in love with these two. Before babies, neither of us had any clue how deep this love would actually be. We'd heard about it, but really were unable to grasp just how great it actually is...until now. Our hearts are overflowing with love, and thankfulness, and joy.

• We're going home late May. We're going home late May!
• This semester is coming to a close faster than we can believe. Just about a week to go!

• Sebastian and Katharina are now in separate cribs. Unless it means Katharina will continue crying at bedtime because she wants to snuggle up to her brother. Then, I can't do it. That breaks my heart and isn't worth separating them just yet. So, we'll be seeing how tonight goes.

And now that I've written far more than I intended, I'm signing off.
