I took Sophia and Ethan to the pediatrician yesterday by myself - I felt such a sense of accomplishment and independence. I was worried about the logistics of getting the babies safely out of the house and into the car and to the doctor's office and back. It went very smoothly - Ethan was a little fussy in his car seat, but the pacifier (or "plug" as Gramgram calls it) soothed him. Other than that our little trip was delightful.
Sophia is now 9 pounds, 4 ounces and Ethan is not far behind at 8 pounds, 14 ounces. The pediatrician was amazed that they have both already more than doubled their weights. They are growing so fast and we are so proud of them! They're doing so well that Sophia and Ethan have been cleared by our pediatrician to go mall walking in the early morning with us (malls open around 6am - long before the shops open) and grocery shopping during the day provided that we ward off strangers who want to touch the babies... It'll be so good to get out of the house with the babies and get some exercise to boot!

Charles and Wendy came for a visit - Wendy is 37 weeks pregnant with a baby girl...

Good times - Gramgram with Ethan, Steph with Sophia... We hope Gramgram comes back soon!
Ian, Carol, and Sam stop by for a visit and to help hold the babies (that's Ethan in Carol's arms and Sophia and Steph on the couch in the background). They also brought us the most delicious chicken dinner and pie for dessert! Yum! :)
