"Big" babies!!

Brock and Kyle are 3 1/2 wks old and are growing fast!! We were very excited when Grandma Martin searched her basement and found the baby scale that she used when Kara and I were babies. It's still in very good condition, and we thought that it would at least give us an idea of how the boys were doing on weight since the doctor doesn't want to see us again until their 2 month check up, well after flu season is over. She said having them in the office - even to check weight- just wasn't worth the risk of them being exposed to the flu virus. She also cautioned us against taking them to other crowded venues, so until these bugs clear the area, their adoring fans will have to wait - Sorry!! Anyway - back to the weigh in. Last night after their baths, we put them on the baby scale. Kyle weighed in at approximately 8 lb, and Brock weighed in at approximately 6 1/2 lbs. We were so excited, but already knew that there had been a significant weight gain just by how they feel when we would hold them.

We have a few more pictures to share with you. The boys have been napping more and more in their crib(s) and seem to like it. We put them in the same bed together, and once and a while, we find them catching a glimpse of each other with semi-confused looks on their faces - like - "Boy, I feel like I know you from somewhere!!" It's so cute to watch and usually means that we end up distracting them with camera flashes and video commentary while they're trying to nap. Here's
some of what we captured:

Here's Brock and Grandpa Martin reading the newspaper. Grandpa is always good for a cuddle with whomever is in need of attention, wiggling around, or even just has their eyes open:). We love Grandpa Martin!! (We love both of our Grandmas' too, more photos with them to come later).

Hi you guys! We just came across your blog tonight. We've have been so out of the loop with being in FL we hadn't heard much on what has been going on with you. It was so fun to see your two precious ones on your blog and to catch up on how things are with you. We can't wait to see them and you!

You are doing a great job keeping us up to date on the boys! It is awesome how much weight they have gained! I love the pictues of them in their crib - they just keep getting cuter!

Give the boys a kiss from their aunt, uncle and cousins!

Hey there -- congratulations!! I heard from Sheryl that the boys arrived safely and then from Val Leman about the blog. Pretty neat and it looks like you are all doing great!

Let me know if you'd be up for a trip to Indiana the first weekend in April. It looks like some of the gang will be getting together and we'd love to have you join us!

Love, Roger, Marci and Natalie

Thanks for letting us come over. The boys are great and I think you win Mother of the Year award. You had it down to a science. James is still talking about the babies, he told Jason how he was scared of them. And always it is so fun to see Auntie Ruthie
