2 months old!

Yes, the girls are 2 months old. I cannot believe how quickly time is passing. They had a check-up today and got 5 shots! It was awful. They screamed like banshees and Bryan couldn't even stand to watch them. He was the rescuer and I was the evil mommy. I guess this is the role I normally take so it's alright. Both girls look great and are on target. I expressed some concerns with the doctor about Mallory's lack of focus and visual tracking. She seems to think that Samantha is just ahead of the game and that Mallory is doing fine. She wants me to come in in a month if I am still concerned. She also wants us to get the babies sleeping in their cribs. Sigh... Mallory is doing well in her crib during naptime but Samantha is just not happy about it yet. The doctor suggested we ignore her. I guess we'll move her crib into the garage so we really can ignore her. Or the neighbor's house is empty and for sale. I bet they wouldn't mind. LOL! Anyway, here are the stats:

Samantha Kay (The Peanut) weighed in at 8 lb 10 oz. (7th %tile). She was 21.5 in long (19th %tile). She is just a tiny, little thing but very healthy. Samantha has really good head control for her little self. Here she is showing off and thinking about smiling for the camera.

Mallory Rose (The Chunk) weighed in at 10 lb 12 oz. (46th %tile). She was 22.5 in. long (51st %tile). She is looking fabulous and the doctor says it's like she wasn't even early. See the smirk I finally caught on camera? Mallory is smiling more these days (another indication that she is beginning to focus better). Mallory has also started to coo!


And here are the best friends. When the girls lay together (rare since they don't sleep together), Samantha is very calm near Mallory. She just lays there and watches Mallory scream wondering what in the hell she is thinking. However, Samantha is normally my screamer so it's rather odd to see her so calm near her sister. They are both wearing 0-3 month clothes now, although Samantha could still get away with newborns. And both girls are in a size 1 diaper. I still have not purchased any diapers yet. It's been fabulous. Between that and the milk machine I am, we really have saved quite a bit of money. Thanks to everyone who contributed diapers and wipes! My checkbook thanks you!

And all 3 girls. Raegan is such a good big sister. She would hold them all the time if she could. She likes to take pictures of them and loves to be in pictures with them. Let's hope this love relationship continues!
