They're Getting Bigger!

We hit some big milestones last week - mommy's original due date, the twins turned a month old, and they gained back their birth weight and then some!  Finally they seem neurologically and developmentally ready to thrive outside the womb and it's hard to say if that's just cause they made the 40 week mark or because they're gaining weight and getting stronger.  At the docs office Poppy was 5# 9.6oz and Eve was 5# 11oz which was music to our ears.  Feeding every 1-2 hours is paying off!  They're also outgrowing their premie clothes and diapers and starting to transition into newborn things.  Yay!

Esme is still super concerned and involved with the twins.  She loves to help whenever we let her.  Chan is having a harder time adjusting to his new siblings.  He loves to kiss their heads and look at them but he's also needing a lot more attention.  Allen and him have been playing a lot of t-ball in the backyard and going for walks around the neighborhood.

On a sad note though, Ah-ma and Yeh-Yeh left last week after spending an awesome 10 days with us.  Esme and Chan loved all the extra attention and Allen and I loved all the extra help.  We can't wait for them to visit again!
