The girls are doing well. They were having a hard time gaining weight, but they went in for a weight check this past Tuesday and the Dr. is satisfied with their progress the past two weeks. Addison is now 7 lbs and Austen is 7 lb 4 oz.
They still eat every three hours, even through the night. My mom has been staying with me during the week to help, which is a life saver during the nights. We use the divide and conquer strategy. Even though it works well, the broken sleep doesn't leave us well rested.
They are actually pretty good sleepers and eaters and overall fairly "easy" babies. If I only had one of them, this would be a breeze. I guess together they equal out to one really hard baby.
My neighbor is a photographer and offered to take pictures of the girls. They were one day shy of two weeks old in the pics. She did such a great job, and I'm thrilled to have some awesome pictures of them. I've not taken nearly as many pics of them as I did when Layla was a baby, and I feel guilty about it.

I can't wait to get them out and about more often. They have been to some stores, church, bible study and the playground, but it's just too hot to be out for walks or in the yard. I need to be out and active to feel "normal" and don't mind the extra effort to get take them along, but the heat makes us all miserable. We're looking for relief soon.
Miss Layla is going stir crazy here in the house, and she's taking us with her. We will be hitting the playground everyday come cooler temps. She loves her sisters, but hasn't grasped that she needs to be careful around them and watch her flailing arms and legs. She always seems to know who's who, and can't quite say "Austen". She calls her "Awesome", which I love.
