What? More pictures? Of course!

We are smiling and cooing which makes all the sleepless nights worth it! Easy to say now since Grandmama has been here helping all week! No, I'm kidding ... it would be worth it anyway!
Napping on Grandmama in the swing (Meredith in white, Hannah in stripes)
Meredith says "yummy thumb"!
Meredith says "who is that girl on top of me?" Hannah says "smile if you love your sister!" We are being happy girls!

Two month appointment ... OUCH!

We had our two month appointment today and the doc says we have two healthy (and cute =) girls! Hannah weighed 8 pounds 5 ounces and Meredith 8 pounds 7 ounces. They are finally on the growth curve at 5% for weight and height! They each got 4 shots and an oral med ... they were not too happy about that!
Mommy & Girls

Meredith not too happy about her shots. They got cute bandaids though!

Never thought I would have 2 kids by 30!! Wish I would have had time for hair & makeup! The things you take for granted before you have kids (like showering =)
Trying out our personalized pacifiers!

Sleepy time again & new weights!

We had another doctor appointment last week and Hannah has pulled ahead in the race to becoming 'big mama' (as Alan used to call Meredith because of her really round head & because she always weighed more than her sister). Hannah was 7 pounds 9 ounces and Meredith 7 pounds 8 ounces ... still neck and neck! They MAY make it to 5% on the growth curve by their two month appointment! Two more methods that work well to keep the girls asleep (knock on wood!!!) The side-to-side swing borrowed from Rachel, Kolby & Cohen ... and a warm body ... any warm body. These girls are people persons (people people??) and they love to be held! When I am by myself I really wish I had 4 arms!!!

Hannah napping in the swing after her bath (which she got quite worked up about!!) LOOK! We are growing REAL hair on top to cover our male pattern baldness ... I think we have 2 brunettes!

Meredith napping on Alan (and Alan is napping as well ... imagine that!)
Mommy and Meredith spending some quality awake & happy time! LOOK, I can sit up! OK, not really ... but the head control is really getting good!

Play time!

We had some play time today! The girls first time on their playmats.

Meredith showing her great head control!
Hannah tired of tummy time and wanting to relax!
Hannah working on her neck muscles!
Meredith working on her neck muscles ... if you look at this picture and the one above it wouldn't you swear it was the same baby? I can tell who is who only by their outfits in this picture!

Being creative when the Pack-N-Play no longer "works"

We finally figured out a way or two that the girls will nap!
