A Snow Day Necessity...


Irby got this awesome trampoline for Valentine's Day. Valentine's was just an excuse to get it for him, we were going crazy with all this snow! It hasn't snowed in a few days, but there is still so much out there it is hard for us to get out (can't fit down the sidewalk with the double stroller, so have to walk down the street, not a great idea in the middle of DC). He loves it, and I couldn't be happier that he is getting so much energy out! Sure wish we had had it a few weeks back:) We turn on his favorite CD, and he just goes to town.
The babies are doing great! I don't have a new picture, but we went to the Dr. yesterday and both Charlie and Griffin weighed 14 lbs and were 24" tall. That's 2 feet tall! Pretty funny when you think of it like that, that sounds huge. They are slowly catching up. The started at less than 0% for weight, last time we went they were 15%, and are now up to 30%! We also had a follow-up appointment with the Occupational Therapist they saw in the NICU, and she said they were acting like normal 4 month olds, they were 2.5 based on their due date(that was a few weeks ago). Amazing!! We are so thankful they are so healthy and growing so well.
They have also each (for a week or so) slept until 7. They actually did it on the same night once too! Usually Griff (but sometimes Charlie) wakes up at 4-5, and the other sleeps until 7. Hopefully we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel of sleeplessness, and they will both start to do it at the same time, all the time. You will think I'm crazy, but seeing them in the middle of the night is really one of the few times I see them without a zillion other things going on, or other people needing my attention. Don't get me wrong, I do look forward to getting a little of my sleep back, because I am not a very nice person sleep deprived (poor Irby), but I'll miss that sweet time with them...LOVE my sweet boys!
