Sorry so long since the last post...life gets soooo busy with babies! The girls are doing great. On Nov. 1st they had their 2 month check-up and everything looked great. The stats then were:
Charlotte- 21.5 inches length, 9lbs 4oz.
Hannah Kate- 21.5 inches length, 8lbs 10oz.
It's funny because everyone else always put what percentile their baby is in, but since twins come out smaller the doctors don't really compare their height and weight to the growth charts much because they are still healthy, just smaller. But the doctor did say that they finally hit the growth charts and they are 7% for their height, Charlotte is 6% for weight, Hannah Kate is 4% for weight. Again, this doesn't mean that they aren't doing great...they are growing very well and the doctor is so pleased that he doesn't want to see us back until 4 months! That's a lot considering we were having to go every week in the beginning :)
Other highlights:
*The girls are smiling all the time and have begun laughing!
*They have started going 8 hours between their feedings at night! Feed around 6pm, down to bed and don't wake back up until 2am! More sleep= happier parents :)
*They are the funniest little wiggle worms...when I come in at 2am they are usually in a completely different position and area of their bed then where I placed them and it always makes me laugh :)
*Most days they love their play time and just punch with their arms and kick their legs into the air all of the time. I guess it's how babies get out all of their energy but it's too funny to watch :)
*Hannah Kate has decided she LOVES her daddy! She wants to be with him whenever he's home and will look all over the room for him when she hears his voice. It's really sweet!
*As far as personalities go, Charlotte has earned the nickname "Sweet Charlotte" and Hannah Kate is "Go Go Hannah Kate" because she is in constant motion :)
Here are some pictures of our little cuties :)
