Big sister Kirby was here for two days and finally got to meet the new additions. She jumped right into the big sister role and did a great job, helping with feeding, changing diapers, playing, and cuddling.
Other than that, there's not much new. They're still changing and growing every day -- I uploaded a batch of new pictures to the photo page. We're sleeping less and less every day, or so it seems. The babies have been looking for attention in the wee hours the past several nights, and it's starting to take its toll. On the plus side, I'm finally getting tired enough to be able to nap during the day! They let me get to bed a little earlier last night, so today was a bit better. I even made it out to the store this afternoon, though I almost fell asleep on my feet waiting in the checkout line... I was OK walking around the store, but standing still was another story!
I am amazed at how much they have grown and how different they look and act today compared to their first couple of weeks, or even the first few days here at home. We're starting to see some personality in them now. Kathryn makes lots of noise when she's awake (and sometimes in her sleep), which gradually turns into a cry when she's hungry or uncomfortable. James spends a lot of tme just quietly looking around when he's awake, but lets loose with a piercing cry when he's unhappy about something. When they have "tummy time" on the floor, they both pick their heads up and turn them from side to side, and also pick their legs up off the floor and squirm around. They are fascinated by lights, whether it's a lamp in the room or daylight outside. I took them for another walk in their stroller this afternoon. They slept through most of it, but James woke up in time to enjoy some of the scenery on the way home.
