We have had a very busy week! The girls and I went over to our friend Melissa's house for some delicious banana bread, berries, coffee and playtime with Alexander. They also met Melissa's mom, Shirley for the first time. Thanks for the rompers!! Grandad came for a visit. The girl's primary nurse, Amy, and her adorable daughter, Emma, stopped by to say hello. Lucy and Marigny had their 6 month well-baby appointment and also have a follow up appointment on Friday from their stay in the NICU. Grandad and I took the ladies on their first museum outing this morning to the Russian Museum of Art and the girls did a great job! AND we are packing up everything but the kitchen sink for a week up north by Grandma and Papa Bear. Whew!

Here are the details from the appointment:

*Lucy: weight 12 pounds, 0 ounces
length 23 1/2 inches
head circumference 41 1/2 cm
*Marigny: weigh 12 pounds, 3 ounces
length 24 inches
head circumference 42 cm

Our Doc told us they are doing great and we could try solids and see if the girls are interested. Well whenever we eat something they are interested! The Dr. gave us three choices for a first food: rice cereal, banana or avocado. I am sure y'all are on the edge of your seats but we haven't decided yet. They are rolling over both ways, babbling, drooling, picking up toys, chewing on everything and all the other normal baby stuff. No surprises or concerns otherwise so we are very happy.

Emma and Marigny, seriously, how much more cuteness can we fit on one blog.
