The babies are doing well, they're growing like weeds. Noah is getting especially chunky! He's got a couple of chins and nice big square cheeks. We have an appointment with the pediatrician on Monday. I keep warning Noah that they're going to tell us to stop feeding him if he keeps getting so fat! (Just kidding, obviously!) Hannah seemed to have a hard time breaking the ten pound mark, but she finally has and is starting to fill out a little more. They are both getting really good about holding their own heads, managing to get their hands in their mouths, and most excitingly (I think I just made up a word), smiling and laughing. They don't laugh very often, but we can see smiles every day now. They both have very big, joyful smiles. We think they are going to be really happy babies once all of the gas problems are completely over.
People keep asking me if they are sleeping through the night yet. All I can do is laugh! It has gotten a lot better recently. Normally we are only having to get up twice during the night and they are doing a good job of sleeping between the night feedings. Five and a half hours is about the longest they ever go between feedings at night. It is still always three hours between feedings during the day.
I mentioned above that they are going to the pediatrician on Monday. This will also be their first shots. I'm not really looking forward to that, but obviously it is for the best!
As I sit back and reflect I am amazed at how quickly the time has gone. It seems like only yesterday that we were bringing them home, yet at the same time it seems like forever ago, like we've always had them. I can already tell that raising them is going to be a whirlwind experience. I just pray that we'll be able to take a step back once in a while and enjoy our special time with them.
I've attached some picures below, enjoy!
This first picture is from the baby blessing which happened on December 3rd.
