Week 25, or so...

The girls had a doctor's appointment yesterday and there has been a lead change! Lillian's outpaced her sister at 14lb6.5oz. Naomi's not too far behind at 14lb5oz. (Had she not had a pants explosion moments before leaving for the office, she would have maintained dominance!) The doctor has pronounced them quite healthy and vigorous. We're even finished using our preemie formula and on to the regular stuff.

The girls are still in discovery mode. Naomi spent a lot time on the floor with Nana staring at the handle for her bouncer toys. No toys, just the handle please. (Please remember this when their birthdays approach. Cardboard boxes will be just fine.) They are starting to notice the toys, though. Lillian grasps a rattle and looks like she's lifting a dumbbell.

Lillian is having an existential crisis. She, too, has discovered her hands. But, she can't stare at them and chew on them at the same time.

Here are the latest head shots.

Lillian the charmer (Nevermind the gouges in her forehead. Self-inflicted.):


Naomi and a classic pout face:


All better:
