We are happy to report that we have big babies. They were weighed today and Samantha is 10lbs. 12oz. and Catherine is 9lbs. 2oz. They are working very hard to catch up to the proper weight for their adjusted age. Samantha is around 50% and Catherine is around 10%. For all their developmental indicators they are doing great for their actual age.
Since our last post, they have both learned to do new things.
They recognize when people smile at them and will smile back. And usually when they smile, they also like to talk.
They learned how to suck their thumbs. Please note that Catherine is using her left hand.
And they've learned that they can get Grandpa to buy them new clothes!
We're extremely excited to see how much they are learning and changing. It's all happening so quickly. Catherine hasn't even learned how to crawl yet and she already wants to stand up and walk. Samantha wants to play a lot and likes to watch her mobile and her animals on her swing. And two nights this week they both slept over 6 consecutive hours!
We look forward to everyone getting to meet the girls next week; but for those that can't make it, keep your eyes on the blog because we should have some videos coming soon.
I love the backhanded thumb suck.
