The girls went to the doctor this week for their 2 week check up and shots.  They each got 3 shots - little champions!  The doctor said they look amazing.  I was a little worried cause they weren't really smiling but she said that essentially they are only a month old and we need to look at their development from their due date (June 2) not their birth date (May 2).  She said they are right on track.  (see their little camo bandaids?)

Siena has a small red raised bump by her mouth (infantile hemangioma).  The doctor said it's a collection of superficial blood vessels and would go away over the next year, but it will probably look worse before it gets better.

She also said that she doesn't think she's ever had a twin mom who was still exclusively breastfeeding at the 2 month mark.  She told me that I deserve a gold plaque!  :-)

Two ways to burp them by myself.  Also, you can see my hair band bracelets. I switch what wrist they are on right before a feeding so the girls oscillate which side they eat on.

Putting them to sleep

Bouncing them with my feet while I work on the computer

Sleeping in their swings at night.  The swing on the left doesn't plug in and the batteries die every 2 weeks or so.  I can't change them in the middle of the night or the babies will wake up - so I engineered a solution using two straps meant to hook toys onto the stroller.  Yep, that's right - one baby is towing the other one!
