Update on the Updates!

The latest from our first year check-up! Doctor was very complimentary of our little ladies. He told us to keep doing what we're doing, which is basically loving them a whole lot! We got great news, they can discontinue formula and graduate to milk (we weren't sure if they were ready because developmentally, they are still 2 months behind)! Such big girls. They did have to get a lot of shots, but all is forgiven and they are having fun, being one! Big shout out to my girl Marcie for going with us to the doctor and helping me baby wrangle!!!

Abby is 18 lbs, 12 oz. She is 27 3/4 inches long. Apparently, she does not enjoy doctor visits too much, although at the end she was snuggling Dr. Koola pretty good. We told him we would just leave her with him for a while, but he had other patients to see. She is such a princess. She really wants to just be carried around a whole lot and gets a little haughty expression on her face when you do (like she is ALL THAT). She tends to cry really easily and unfortunately is kind of a victim to Ella's bullying. She is starting to fight back a little but her first reaction is to cry to mommy. Future tattle tell? She sure does love to talk, this little one.



Ella is weighing in at 19 pounds even steven! She is measuring at 27 1/2 inches long (though that puts her a smidge shorter than Abby and I am not sure I am buying it). She is a spitfire and has so much spirit in her! She loves to go exploring (a little too much) and is doing pretty well drinking out of a cup - better than big sis! She is starting to give us less of a fight at bedtime, which is really nice. She has such a beautiful smile it is hard to see her so mad and upset at sleepy time.



We are going to keep enjoying our wonderful holiday season. Really, it has been the best. Everything is done now, except a service project that we will tell you more about this week. And then we get to relax and spend time with friends and family.
