7 Weeks

This week started off with a fun trip up to Boeger Winery with all of the grandparents to taste wine, have a picnic and listen to some music.  The girls seemed to enjoy themselves, although they did sleep much of the time.  Mommy enjoyed a little break and took a nap.

The highlight of this week was on Saturday.  We took the girls down to the bay area to see my Grandma Jo.  Grandma Judy, Poppa Tom and Auntie Lisa came along too.  It was fun to get the four generations together for a family photo with my grandma.  After our visit, we had a nice lunch and headed home.  We also stopped at Osh Kosh B'Gosh and my mom got the girls some really cute corduroy overalls.  Oh, they're pink.  SO CUTE!!!  Pictures to come...when they are 6 months.

The rest of the week was fairly uneventful.  Oh, Daddy went back to work on Monday.  He was ready to get back, but I think he misses the girls when he's not at home.  On Tuesday, I took the girls to meet all of his coworkers.  They thought the twins were just too cute!  I do love to show off my girls!!!

6 Weeks

Well, we are getting more adjusted to parenthood, and our routines.  However, the girls are becoming much more alert and not sleeping as much.

Some highlights from this week were:

We met Grandma and Grandpa Glover at Boeger for Sunset Sippin.  We enjoyed cheese, crackers and fruit while listening to some good music.  Fun times!

The Witzels, some of my family's long-time friends, came to Sacramento to see the girls.  We all had a great time hanging out in Old Sacramento and going to the Railroad Museum.  The girls weren't too impressed as they slept the entire time.  They were very good though.  Paul, Lisa and Sarah stayed in Sacramento Sunday night and then headed up to Redding on Monday.

The girls had an appointment with their pediatrician on Monday.  They are getting big!  Avery weighed in at 6 pounds, 11 ounces; and Sophie was 6 pounds, 15 ounces.  The doctor said they are doing great!  She reassured me that the reflux issues would clear up and the breathing issues were not too serious.  Our next appointment will include shots.  I don't think I am ready for that.  After the appointment, Mom and I headed up to Redding.  Jeff stayed home to get some things done around the house before going back to work next week.

While in Redding Mommy tried to get as much rest as possible since there were so many hands to help out with the girls.  Unfortunately, it wasn't enough rest, as I wanted to socialize with everyone.  On our last full day in Redding: Wednesday, Mom and I took the girls in the pool.  They didn't go in far, and didn't care much for it.  I guess it was a little colder than they would have liked.  After the pool, I actually got Avery to nurse.  She even initiated.  Happy Mommy Moment.

Also, I am pretty sure that Avery is smiling this week.  While she does have a LOT of gas, I think these smiles are intentional.
