One Month!

One month already?! I have barely written the post about their birth story and now I am writing an update about them being a month old? Oh my. They'll be graduating college tomorrow.

Lorelei:

Weight: 6 lbs 1 oz Growing girl! They didn't measure their length today, because we were there to just check up on weight. 

Hair and Eyes: Hair is getting lighter and lighter each day. Eyes are big and blue! Crossing my fingers they stay blue!

Diapers: This little bit is still in premie. We have one more pack and I think that will graduate after those are gone. 

Clothing:  We are wearing newborn clothes, but they are big on her. Premie clothes might fit better, but putting her head through that little bitty hole scares me. So we just wear newborns.

Favorite Things: tooting (Chris said this...) The swing :)

Likes: working her bottom lip, being held, swinging 

Dislikes: paci, not that she particularly dislikes it, but she doesn't really want it much; diaper changes and outfit changes

Eating: 2 ounces every three hours; and after today's appointment 3 ounces and dropping one feeding at night! 

Sleeping: Pretty good sleeper between feedings. Sleeps great during the day, we are working on nighttime. 

Milestones: Held her bottle during a feeding. I know it may have been a fluke, but it was still neat! Proof:

Eloise:

Weight:  6 lbs 11 oz.

Hair and Eyes: dark hair and big blue eyes. 

Diapers: Moved up to newborns a week or so ago. And she is filling those up just fine...

Clothing: She's been in newborn outfits since NICU like sister, but they actually fit her a bit better. 

Favorite Things: Paci! Looking around and taking everything in

Likes: loves her paci and being in her vibrating bouncer. I wouldn't say loves tummy time, but she tolerates it and can pick her head up and look side to side.

Dislikes: again, diaper and outfit changes

Eating: 2 ounces every three hours. 

Sleeping: Pretty good sleeper between feedings. Sleeps great during the day, we are working on nighttime. 

Milestones: Gaining weight like a champ and getting stronger each day!

Mom's thoughts: Wow. One month of having two little girls in our lives. Daily life definitely looks different, but I can hardly remember what it was like before. They are a handful, but We love them so much! I hope they know how much we love them and have prayed for them. I can't wait for them to continue to grow and experience all life has to offer!
