Many of you have been asking how they are doing, so here’s a quick update.  Both of them are great!  They are both wonderful babies, but they are so different – night and day…… literally.  Max is a night owl, and Kate likes to play all day and sleep all night.  She is so alert all the time.  Max on the other hand likes to eat and sleep.  Kate is smiling now, and has even laughed out loud a couple of times.  Max is “Mr. Serious” all the time.  If he is not eating, he is thinking or dreaming about eating.  And if you have seen the latest pics, you can see that he is eating well! On the rare occasion that he is awake, he has found his hands, and they like to be all over Kate’s face, much to her dislike.  Kate just takes everything in, and has already taken a liking to daddy.  I love to watch her look at him!  Max has taken a liking to nothing but milk.  I’m working on him.

Both of them are doing great healthwise as well.  Kate is still a little raspy, but we are not sure if that is natural, as big sister is naturally raspy.  Both of them have doubled their weights, too!  Max is over 8 lbs!  Most of which is in his cheeks.  Max has a little umbilical hernia, but the doc thinks it will resolve on its own.  It  really just looks like a big “outie”.  Unfortunately, Max will have to be re-circumsized when he is 6 months, he was just such a little guy when it was done, and it did not heal properly.  But if that is the biggest problem we have, we can deal with that   At least he will never remember having it done……. twice.

Chad and I are cherishing every moment with these two little ones, and enjoying watching how they grow and change every day.  I am ready for cold and flu season to be over myself so that I can get them out a little more and show them off!  Until then, we will try to be better about pics.  I should have some more up tomorrow!
