More two month stuff...

We had our two-month doctor appointment today, and I was pretty right-on about their weights. Evaline is 8 lbs 2 oz and Cora is 9 lbs 13 oz, which puts Evaline in the 5th percentile for weight and Cora in the 25th...but those numbers don't take into account that they were born three weeks early.

Other exciting news: Cora slept through the night last night!!! From 10 pm to 7 am!! I don't anticipate this becoming routine yet, but this may be a signal that a break is just around the corner.

But the real reason for this posting: Although (as I said in the last post) I didn't take any pictures to purposely show how they are growing, I figured out a way to show this. I have an early picture of the girls in their carseats, and we've just taken another (see below). The best way to really see their size difference is to look at how and where the clasp on the seatbelt hits them. The two-month picture also shows their ever-changing personality/roles as twins. The several weeks preceding this week, Evaline has been a bit of a handful and Cora's been a "textbook" baby. But this week, Evaline is all smiles and fun and Cora...well, you never know with her if she's going to be happy, mad, crying, etc. (In this picture she's about to burst into a rather large crying fit.)

Ian said they had gotten big, but I didn't realize how big they are now. Can't wait to see them; I would love to make them cry by holding them, that's usually what happens.

They ARE getting big! They are absolutely precious! Congrats!! Going back to work is definitely overwhelming, but lots of women do it! They will be well adjusted young ladies before you know it!
