It's been a while since I've posted an update, so we've got lots to share. Abby and Emily are getting so big. Abby started out at 4lbs even and got as small as 3lbs, 10 oz. She now weighs 7lbs, 3 ounces! Emily Started out at 3lbs, 10 oz and got down to about 3lbs 5 oz. She now weighs 6.5 lbs! Below is a picture of Emily's legs from about a week ago, she has since gained almost a pound. They may look scrawny compared to the average newborn, but they're HUGE compared to how she started.

We went to get some pictures taken a couple weeks ago. That same week the girls started to smile - not the gas smiles anymore, real smiles! The pictures below aren't great resolution, I'll eventually update them with higher quality images.

Abby got a cool new toy for her bottle that makes it so she can suck on the nipple like a pacifier but it's attached to a straw in her bottle so she can drink on her own without having to wait for Emily to finish eating.

The girls have been very active during the day taking only short naps now. Abby is very interested in the lights on the camera

Sometimes the girls hold hands when they're getting ready to take a nap together

Emily likes to watch tv with me. Here she is sitting propped up on the floor.
