Jonathan and Bella are THREE!!!

3 years ago at 4:52 and 4:55 pm, Jonathan Lucas and Isabella Marie were delivered via c-section when I was 36 weeks/5days pregnant! For twins, that's really good :) ...

Jonathan was 6lb, 2oz and 18 inches long ...now, three years later, he is 35 pounds and 39 inches tall! He is a big boy... happy almost all of the time! He's got a big heart...sweet as can be! He is out-going and sociable; protective of his little sister; and VERY independent! He wants to do everything himself! He LOVES watching Caillou and Diego- and he loves to sing and dance along with all of their songs! I love his energy and his smile- the picture on the left is a little goofy, but it is SO Jonathan! Can't wait to see what his future holds!


Bella was 6lb, 13 oz and 18 3/4 inches long... now, three years later, she is 31 pounds and 37 1/2 inches tall! She is a big girl, but she's very petite and "girlie" when compared to Jonathan. She is a TOTAL girl too... she can be sweet and cute, but at the drop of a hat, she can get a prissy little attitude. She'll put her hands on her hips and give you a piece of her mind if she sees fit to do so! She is my only kid with long, blond, and curly hair- not sure where she got that from, but I LOVE IT! She loves to cuddle...but only if SHE initiates it! If I want to, she won't hear of it! I love her spunky spirit... definitely the best little girl that God could've given to me!! As with her brother, I can't wait to see what her future holds!
