Growing Like Weeds!!

Yesterday, we took another trip to the peditrician's office, to check the boys weight and then maybe have shots. I could tell the boys were getting bigger, but I was shocked to find out that both Thomas and Michael were over nine pounds. Thomas weighed 9 lb 5 oz and Michael weighted 9 lb 1 oz. They both put on about 2 pounds in 3 weeks. The doctor was very pleased with their weight gain. Since they put on a good amount of weight, he went ahead and gave the boys their first round of immunizations. Both Thomas and Michael did a good job, they cried of course during the shots, but as soon as they were in mom's or grandma's arms they quieted down quickly. Neither boy has had an adverse reaction to the shots, they were a little crabby yesterday but that was to be expected. As for Michael and his monitor, we are getting all the information that has been recorded on the monitor downloaded and analyzed. When our doctor gets the results of the download, he will then make a decision about wether or not Michael can come off the monitor. We are hoping and praying that he will let us take Michael off th monitor.

For the past week and a half we have enjoyed the company of Grandma Dillner. She is spoiling both mom and dad and the twins. David has enjoyed many of his favorite foods that his mom makes. I have also enjoyed them. Thomas and Michael have also enjoyed meeting their grandma. They will be sad when she has to leave.

Last week, Thomas and Michael learned a little bit about the history of our great country. David took Friday off of work, and we went on an outing to Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington. We all had a wonderful day, learning about our first president. The boys were great, the slept most of the day. They enjoyed being close to mom and dad in our baby carriers. David also has taken off tomorrow and Friday, so who knows what other adventures the boys will go on before Grandma goes home on Saturday.
