5 weeks and counting

We've survived 5 weeks. Fortunately we've had great help in adapting to the new life with 2 babies...Gram for the first 3 1/2 weeks, Grandma for 3 1/2 - 4 1/2 and now Aunt Kathleen and Cousin Reagan for 4 1/2 - 5 1/2. And what happens at 5 1/2? "Game on!" as they say.

Just as a note on growth...On Monday Addison weighed 6lbs 15 1/2oz. Lily weighed 7lbs 8oz.

Since we've been having the babies sleep on their backs...prevent SIDS...and I've always heard about "tummy time" and how important that is, I decided to research when one should start their baby on tummy time. So I found a document posted by the American Pediatricians and it said "From the first day you return from the hospital you should start your baby with tummy time 2 or 3 times a day." Oops. They are scarred for life yet again. Needless to say, we had tummy time during the babies' next wakeful period.

Here are some recent photos.
