What an amazing weekend it was.. we got to spend quality time with the kids and each other (Tom and I).. and we both felt like for the first time in a LONG time.. life is slowing down .. a bit. The twins are getting cuter by the day and bigger!~ Austin had to go to the doctor on Friday and I about fell down when I saw the scale. He weighs 13 pounds, 9 ounces!!! I couldn't believe it..far cry from 3 pounds!! He is getting much happier now too which is so nice. He was really colicky there for a bit and it was hard bc Grace was and is so calm. Well, actually she is now using her voice too. They are both smiling a ton and I finally get to ween them from the Prosobee. I am adding a little of the regular Enfamil formula into their big pitcher each night and eventually it will be converted completely but I want to do it slowly.They are drinking about 5-6 oz. at each feeding now but I have no idea where they fall in the growth charts... we will find out next time at their 6 mo. appts.

I am going to need to get a physical therapist out for Austin though which kind of sucks. He is high tone and needs some attention I think. He is just more stiff than Grace and has a slight flat spot on the back right side of his head. He has found a comfort position and so I have him sleeping on his left side now. The same thing happened with Tommy so I know what to do .. it's just a pain but whatever.

Everything seems to be going okay, I am back at work 2 days a week and sad about it. I miss the kids so much my heart aches but for now, this is what needs to happen. I will pick up another day next month, making it a three day work week but I get Mon. and Fri. off which is nice. We are trucking along and will keep posting as we are able.

Much love to you all,

Erica and Tom
