Weighing in are Jackson and Tabitha!

Napping continues to be challenging but after amazing afternoon naps yesterday I'm feeling encouraged. If only the morning nap would fall into line... we're planning to get to bed earlier for the morning nap because they just start thier day overtired. Did happen this morning though because of appointments needing to be kept. RSV shots - two per baby - our second to last of the season. Hooray for Spring!! Jackson weighs in at a beautiful 16 lb 4 oz! He's gained nearly a pound since last month! Good job! Tabitha, solidly on the chart for her actual age, comes in at 18 lb 12 oz! Again, nearly a pound in a month, way to grow!

Both are doing great although Jackson seems to have his first runny nose. Clear and mild, doesn't seem to be bothering him, plus he could be about to get teeth. The boy can't be awake without something on his gums; his finger, a toy, his sister's hand, as long as there's something there he's happy. Last night, after dinner, he wouldn't let me brush his teeth. We've been doing this every evening for the last six weeks or so and they both LOVE it. No matter their mood, they LOVE it. But he was not having it! The funny thing is Tabitha's the drooler. The girl produces as much drool as her brother produces spit up! Speaking of, most recent GI visit has us continuing along the same path, adding third meal, done, and getting ready to start proteins! Hooray!

Side Note: the tulip photos are recent. I took them earlier this week. The blog was too empty and we need to encourage Spring along as much as we can. They were a gift from Norah for Valentine' day. They are from a potted plant and absolutely gorgeous!
