Update from the 2nd pedi. appointment, today: Dr. Mallard said that our sweet babies are looking very good and was surprised at how much weight they are both packing on! The recommended weight gain for babies at this stage is an ounce per day--Abigail gained 20 ozs. in two weeks and Sydney gained 16 ozs. That puts both girls over 6 lbs.! (Abigail--6 lbs., 7ozs.; Sydney--6 lbs., 1 oz.) They were very well behaved at the doctor, but we were warned that at the next appointment, in one month, the immunizations will be administered. Momma and Daddy need to start getting emotionally prepared...

More firsts this week--Rebekah and Miranda took the girls to the grocery store this week, and today may be the first walk around the block in the superstroller. Sydney had an unexpected first while Momma was bathing her--while on the towel near the sink, Sydney rolled onto her tummy from lying on her back! It is fun to think about what might happen next, and it is great that Rebekah is able to be there with them and experience it all.
