Not much new to report in the past week or so. They're still growing like weeds, we're still not getting much sleep, and they're still getting cuter by the day. I have a couple of pictures in the new Month 4 album. We haven't weighed them since Monday, when James weighed 11 lbs. 13 oz. and Kathryn was up to 10 lbs. 10 oz., which was around a half pound gain for each of them over the previous week.

They are starting to get some longer stretches of sleep, but it will take some work to get the timing right (for us) and turn it into some sort of schedule. Kathryn just won't eat if she's not hungry, so trying to get more calories into her during the day, or "topping off the tank" before bed just doesn't work for her. James will take at least some of his bottle most any time, but he still seems to be on his own timetable for now. The lack of sleep is getting a little rough. We're both pretty exhausted almost all the time, and most non-baby projects and activities are on the back burner for a while, but I know there's light at the end of the tunnel and before long we'll all be able to get a full night's sleep more often. Thank goodness for our weekly reprieve, knowing we get at least one night a week of undisturbed sleep is such a help.

What is changing fast is their personalities. We've gotten over most of the tummy troubles, though they still both have some fussy times when nothing seems to make them happy -- we tell them to stop acting like such babies! :-) Fortunately these are usually short-lived. They are spending more time awake, and happy, and are beginning to really enjoy watching their mobiles and other moving toys. Kathryn studies everything around her and will happily sit in her swing for a long time just watching the mobile go around before finally falling asleep, or in her bouncy chair swatting at the spinny toys in front of her. We get some smiles out of her, but usually she is quite serious. James has turned into Mr. Giggles, smiling and even laughing at almost everything -- diaper changes, toys, and especially Daddy and his silly songs.
