We had a peaceful weekend after a week of doctor visits and trips to the pharmacy. Zach’s eye and Marissa’s tummy are both doing so well! We went to church yesterday, then out to lunch, and they were angels. Since Marissa is a rather noisy digester, I was sure she was going to work on a diaper rather vocally right during the service, but she managed to grunt only a few times 🙂 They both have the cutest little diabolical cackle… and they use it so inappropriately! We’ll say something funny, and one of them will say, “He he he!” Then the other one will pipe in for the next comment. They are already using turn-taking conversationally… we’ll talk to them or to each other near them, and they wait to share their thoughts until the conversational pause. Both of them talk to their bottles as well. Matt found a little turtle toy that has a mirror on it, and both babies were entranced by the adorable face staring back at them. Zach smiled at himself even!
We’ve taken some great pictures, notably in one preemie outfit that Zach has nearly outgrown. His Grandpa Olson may not get to see him in it in person if he keeps growing constantly, so we had to document the outfit for him. If the camera wasn’t upstairs, I’d upload it right now. Sometime later. You’ll see it soon, Grandpa-O and you’d definitely approve.
Thanks for your prayers for us and our babies. We’re so thrilled about them (they are 3 weeks old tomorrow!). We’re finding time to sleep and we even found time to finish Heroes, Season One. Yowza! That show is so engaging– we love it!
