I was so happy that my dad was able to visit again on his way home from working overseas. He witnessed the girls’ rapid growth first-hand! At their pediatrician’s appointment last week, Rebecca weighed in at 7 lbs 3 oz, and Susanna was at 6 lbs 13 oz. Our little porkers are gaining about an ounce a day! Jim made the comment the other day that he hopes our girls don’t display the same voracious appetites when they grow up. Can you imagine ten-year-olds screaming themselves red in the face as they demand breakfast only seconds after awakening out of a deep sleep? And eating their cereal so fast that they get it all over their little cheeks, and then falling asleep with their faces in the cereal bowls? Good thing it’s adorable now!
Here are a few pictures from the weekend. I love to watch the girls sleep, especially when they snuggle up close to each other, as they often do. And sometimes they fall asleep in mirror-image positions, as you can see here (Susanna on left, Rebecca on right):
I think this next picture is so precious! My dad was holding Rebecca for me while I was getting some chores done around the house, and when I came back downstairs, they were both snoozing away! I think both grandpa and granddaughter were very happy with this arrangement!
I love it! I’m so used to seeing Dad in his nap position but usually it’s his furry daughter who falls asleep with him. I like this arrangement much better 🙂
