Playing Catch Up

Since the girls were born prematurely, they are understandably a little bit behind as far as meeting developmental milestones.  Yesterday, we went to their first physical therapy session as a follow-up from the NICU.  They are both doing well, but have some "homework" in order to help them catch up to where a full-term 6.5 month old baby would typically be.  We are trying to do more tummy time and to work with them to get caught up:)

Sleepy Head

My girls have never been very good nappers...especially Anna.  The other day, I was playing with Kate and when I looked over, this is how I found Anna.  Maybe she was trying to tell me she was ready for a nap??

Just Hanging Out

We do a lot of just hanging out at the house:)  The girls are growing and changing every day and we are trying to soak up every smile and giggle!  Here are videos of Kate in the jumper and Anna in the exersaucer...we just can't get enough of these little cuties!!

Our First Visit to CMPC

Yesterday we were able to take the girls to church for the first time.  What a blessing it was to worship with our church family and see everyone who has been praying for us over the past 6 months!  We are so blessed to be a part of such an amazing body of believers and we have been overwhelmed by their love and support.  Becky and Charlotte kept the girls in the nursing mother nursery and we have already had several volunteers to keep them in there every Sunday so Phil and I can attend the worship service.  How spoiled they will be to have their own nursery all to themselves!  Melissa brought her camera and took some pictures for us:)

These dresses were given to us at my shower in Florida and were supposed to be their Easter dresses.  Since they weren't healthy enough to attend church on Easter Sunday, I was so excited that they still fit for our debut at church.

Daddy and his girls

I always knew that Phil would be a great dad, but he continues to amaze me every day!  He truly enjoys spending time with them and is always so helpful.  A friend of mine called the other day and during our conversation she asked me what I have enjoyed most about being a mom.  After I thought about it for a second, I told her that the most enjoyable thing for me as a mom is to watch Phil be a dad!  He is such an amazing man and we are blessed to have him as the head of our family!

Big Girl Strollers

The girls and I go on a walk almost every day.  For the past two days, we decided to try out the big girl strollers and they seem to really like them!  I think they like being able to see everything around them.

If you recall from a post a long time ago when I was still pregnant, some friends scored this double Maclaren from a yard sale for $35!

Hey....you look A LOT like me!

Over the past week, the girls have finally started to notice one another and to interact with each other more often.  It is so sweet to see them hold hands while they are playing and giggle at one another.  They are also both sleeping in their nursery at night!
