Wednesday 6/23

Here is my "little shopper" :) Rosalyn loves to get dressed up, put her baby in the cart, and go shopping around the house for items! The bag in the back of the cart is the diaper bag she packed for her baby. She is such a good little mommy...the bag had a blanket, diaper, bottle, toy, and a banana! She is so imaginative and loves to play pretend games. It is really fun to see her changing from a baby/toddler into a little girl!

Caroline and Elaina had their 2 month appointment on Monday. They have grown!! Here are their "stats"...

Caroline:
2 months...weight 10lb12oz--30%, length 21.25 in--4%

birth...weight 7lb1oz--32%, length 18 in--5%

Elaina:
2 months...weight 10lb10oz--26%, length 21 in--less than 3%

birth ...weight 6lb2oz--10%, length 18 in--5%

Rosalyn (just for comparison):
2 months...weight 11lb8oz--49%, length 22.25 in--25%

birth...weight 7lb11oz--58%, length 19 in--33%

They are short, chunky babies like Rosalyn was :) The pediatrician was impressed with their growth and said they were both perfectly beautiful and healthy. Here's what they are doing now: smiling, making eye contact, starting to gurgle/coo, holding heads up well, pushing up with arms, batting at objects, starting to really develop personalities and can be quite opinionated (especially Elaina!), sleeping at least one 6-7 hour stretch at night, eating 6-7x/day, capturing our hearts more and more each day!

They each got two shots at the appointment and they were definitely NOT happy about it! They cried so hard...much harder than I remember with Rosalyn! Caroline even held her breath until her little eyes bulged and her lips were turning purple...it was kind of scary, but I knew she was just upset and would be fine. Once I got them home and the Tylenol kicked in, they just slept the rest of the afternoon on the couch.
