Our Little Piggies!

Our little boys are growing so fast!!! We went to the doctor and I was very excited to see how much they weighed! I have been doing much more breastfeeding this past week, and was hoping they were getting the right amount. Well, Michael now weighs 6 pounds 13 ounces (He gained ELEVEN ounces in ONE week!!!). Jeremiah weighs 6 pounds 9 ounces (He gained EIGHT ounces in ONE week!) We were so pleased! Looks like they are eating plenty!!!

They are doing so well and are "waking up" more! Their morning feeding is so much fun because they are so alert - they will stay awake looking around for a good 30-45 minutes after the feeding. They have yet to "focus" their eyes on things but we are anxiously awaiting the day when they focus their eyes on us. They are getting so strong - during Tummy Time they will hold their head up and move it from one side to the other. Last night, we put them on their stomachs and Jeremiah didn't put his head down for a good 5-7 seconds - he was just holding it up. Then they were SO CLOSE to rolling over. They got stuck on their arm and then would get mad that they couldn't do it. It seemed that if you would nudge him they would do it - but we want them to do it all by themselves. It was so exciting watching it and I have to admit that I was on the verge of tears (I know, Suprise, Suprise!)

Here are a few pictures from yesterday - enjoy once again!



Look at that belly!!!

I know this picture is blurry, but I love the boys expressions!

Wow-that is great that they are gaining so much weight. That is so encouraging! Oh yeah-if you see this today or tonight, my mom said she would be more than glad to either-talk to you on the phone, come over to your house and talk, or you could come over here-although I know that is more work for you. So, if you want to do any of those three things, let me know, and if you don't want to that is perfectly fine too. :) I know you are busy-so don't feel like you have to. One more thing-I noticed when I was changing them on Friday that Michael has a freckle right below his belly button, and Jeremiah does not-so that is one sure fire way to tell them apart-not that you want to strip them down in public, but if you are unsure-you can check! :) lol
I hope you are doing great today! Talk to you later :)

That is so exciting that they are gaining so much weight. Chloe went to the dr when she was 3 days old and then does not go back until 4 weeks, so I have no idea what she weighs until we go to dr appts. They look cute we look foward to seeing you all in the next week or so.
