Torin needed help blowing out the candles the first time.
But once he realized what to do, he asked for more and we lit the candles again so he could blow them out by himself, which he did!
It was time to dig in for cake and ice cream.
Aunt Sarah made the awesome Elmo cake from scratch! Thanks so much, Aunt Sarah!
The magic number at this point is 8 wonderful grandkids. 6 girls and 2 boys fill the house with LOTS AND LOTS of noise.
Pat and Kelly are going to need a bigger couch soon with these numbers growing the way they are!
Great-Grandma, Torin and Logan
Logan - Our Logan has decided to be the big boy of the family and weighs in at a whopping 10 lbs 12.5 oz. Not bad for starting at 5 lb 12 oz just 7 weeks ago! In comparison to his big brother, Torin weighed 10 lbs 6 oz at 6 weeks of age, so I have a feeling Logan is going to be the bigger brother if this keeps up. He is eating between 4 and 5 ounces of formula every three hours like clockwork, even at night yet unfortunately. We try to stretch him out longer, but he SCREAMS and I mean SCREAMS if a bottle isn't in his mouth within 30 seconds of him waking. Other than those times, we don't hear much from him. He is overall a very content baby. He is 'baby talking' now and enjoys playing on his tummy on the floor. He likes to watch himself in the mirror on the play mat. He still has very blue eyes and his hair is coming in blond. He is now in Stage 1 diapers and very close to exiting 0-3 month clothing and jumping into 3-6 month in the next couple of weeks if I had to guess.
Ella - Our Ella Bella is still the petite baby girl of the family weighing in at 8lbs 14 oz, almost two pounds behind her brother now. She eats 2 1/2 - 3 ounces of formula every three hours. We have had to change her formulas twice now as we are dealing with colic and reflux issues with her. She is currently on Enfamil Gentlease and getting BioGaia probiotic drops once a day to help with these issues. We hope this is the right combination to make her tummy feel better and our nights from 8-10P.M. not be complete torture. Ella loves to watch everything going on around her. She LOVES being talked to and will smile now on command. She doesn't 'baby talk' much yet like her brother does, but her smiles make up for it! Opposite of her brother, she hates being on her stomach and enjoys playing on her back and looking at all of the toys above her. She likes listening to music as it calms her down and helps put her to sleep. She is still in newborn diapers and newborn clothes. We are just now able to have her wear a few 0-3 month clothing. Still opposite her brother, her hair is coming in very dark like her Daddy's and her eyes are a very deep, dark blue. Torin's were the same at this age and his switched to dark brown by 4-5 months of age. I expect hers to do the same. 
We all got out for some walks to the park.
We searched for bugs.
We played in the water.
We fell on the driveway leaving a nasty mark on our forehead. We also conquered going down the spiral slide on our own!
We yelled at ducks in the water.
We turned 6 weeks old.
We showed off our baby boy blue eyes for Grandma.
We brothers hung out.
We 'helped' Grandma take photos of Logan and Ella.
We turned 6 weeks old.
We took beautiful poses with Grandma.
We hung out with Papa and Ma so Daddy and Mommy could have a date night.
We are getting so big.
We are beautiful little miracles.
We are still the calm baby boy.
We are still the feisty baby girl.
We posed in a dress that Grandma Herding wore as a baby girl.
We fixed things in the garage.
We had wonderful conversations with Grandpa and Grandma. Thanks for a great week, Grandpa and Grandma! And thanks for the wonderful pictures, Grandma!
Big brother is really adjusting well now. He still has his 'moments' but they are getting much better.
Sometimes sister can punch you in the face when laying too close together.
Or...brother can try to eat your head since he is hungry constantly these days.
