The weigh in...

I took Kimberly and Rebekah in for a 3-month weigh in and they are doing well! Right on track... Kimberly weighs 10 lbs 15 oz, is 22 5/8 inches long, and has a head circumference of 16 inches. Rebekah weighs 11 lbs 6 oz, is 23 3/8 inches long, and her head is 16 inches as well.

I realized I've forgotten to mention Kimberly's obsession with her fist (also right on track for her age). Rebekah is fond of hers, but I catch Kimberly tracking it and sucking on it a lot more. They both like to be in contact with someone as well, so they will be in their crib and wiggle until they are touching each other and then stop. Basically, I've figured out they just don't like to be alone! Of course, what baby really does?

Okay.. photos! I took the babies (and big sister Kelsi) out for a walk yesterday because we all could use the fresh air. Kelsi had two days of school cancelled this week due to snow/ice... it was time to get out into the 28-degree air! Kelsi holding Rebekah all bundled up (I'm getting Kimberly ready in the background). All ready to be loaded into their stroller Rebekah is on the left and Kimberly is on the right. Then close-ups of the two bundles -- they stayed warm! The last photo is of the girls helping decorate our Christmas tree. They were pretty happy until they got hungry! We'll finish decorating tonight and I'll take some more pictures, don't worry.

We're rolling now!

Rebekah did it for the first time on Saturday and Kimberly managed the feat on Sunday... it's official: they can roll from their bellies onto their backs! Kimberly is chatting up a storm at the moment, Rebekah had a "conversation" with Kelsi earlier this evening, and they are both full of smiles! We're definitely headed into the golden age of babydom! They're both still sleeping until 7a, but the start time varies between 10p and 1a.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The girls on Thanksgiving night. Kimberly is in the yellow on the left and Rebekah is in the green on the right. They definitely put the "happy" in "Happy Thanksgiving"!!

...and longer

They're starting to get longer across the crib. Kimberly is the "Fragile" one and Rebekah is the "Lil' Firecracker".

They're getting bigger...

They've slept through a decent chunk of the night the past three nights (Sat, Sun, Mon). We'll see if this is a new trend they continue! But they've been getting to sleep around midnight or 1am and staying asleep with some minor grunting here and there until 7am. The 3am feeding is being phased out and we all really hope it lasts! Next up, getting them to sleep before midnight and still having them make it until 7am. I'm not holding my breath on that one for a little while longer.. they aren't even 3 months yet! As long as they continue the 6-7 hours at night, I'll be happy.

The photos are from Grandma Sue's visit in early November. There are more currently still on our digital camera, so patience is requested as always. I do the best I can, but Kimberly is sleeping on my lap at the moment. The photo with the three girls are Rebekah at the top, Kelsi at the bottom, and Kimberly on the left. Then there's Daddy holding Kimberly and one of the girls with Kimberly on the left and Rebekah on the right (in purple).

Two months and two weeks!

I think Kimberly is giving Rebekah a run for her money when it comes to gaining weight. I think she may have caught up or even passed up Bekah. Won't know for a little while, but she's definitely getting there. They love getting their diapers changed now.. or at least having them taken off and left off for a few minutes. And they are starting to show signs of a schedule, but it's not consistent quite yet. Kimberly is in my lap helping me type and reminding me that they are finding their hands more now.. be it staring at them or sucking on them.

More pictures soon!

More Photos!

Aunt Vikki sent Halloween booties.. Rebekah is in the black cats and Kimberly has on the pumpkins!






Their first ferry boat ride!

Week 9 Updates

They had their 2-month check-ups last week and did very well... Kimberly is 9 lbs 11 oz and 22 inches long and Rebekah is 10 lbs 2.5 oz and also 22 inches long. They also did very well last weekend at their Grandma Shirley's wedding. Lots of people and noise and they didn't miss a beat (or feeding).

Hopefully I'll be able to post more photos soon, I haven't had a chance to upload the new ones from the camera.
