Oct 19 2006 Sleeping and Bathing

Oct 19, 2006 - Sleeping Beauties, such togetherness...

Oct 19, 2006 - Hey Ma, this bathtub is getting kinda crowded...

The week of Oct 16 to 20, 2006 started off on a sad note for Gramma (Berta) as I was finished my three month leave of absence and was headed back to work. I totally loved the experience and it reafffirmed that idea that I would like to volunteer at the hospital once I retire to "rock babies". Since I only work two blocks from home I am able to come home every lunch hour and have a quick lunch so I can read the babies their stories, Robert Munsch, Dr. Seuss, Richard Scarry, Mother Goose, etc.

Wow, three whole months have already slipped away...the girls had an appointment with Dr. Carla on Friday, Oct 20/06 and Stella weighs in at 10 lbs. 14 ozs. and is 22 1/2 inches long while Rowan weighs in at 11 lbs. 4 ozs. and is 23 inches long. They both have 16 3/4 inch heads but Rowan's chest is 15 3/4 inches while Stella's chest is 15 1/2 inches.

About the pictures above, they didn't just finish lunch before their snooze, they had their bibs on because they were drooling so much from teething...so peaceful though. Bathing is like a three man job especially when they are both in the tubbie together...but oh, they do seem to love the water!
