Happy Kids

The babies had their 2-month appointment on Monday and got all their shots. We were glad they got their immunizations, but Chantel and both grandmothers had a hard time listening to the babies screaming and crying. They have about doubled their weight since coming home a couple months ago. Here are their updated weights (their birth weights are in parenthesis)
- Camille: 8 lbs 3 oz (3 lbs 15 oz)
- Annika: 8 lbs 3 oz (3 lbs 10 oz)
- Henrik: 9 lbs 6 oz (4 lbs 3 oz)

We found out that the babies really settle down when we put them together. The girls didn't do great together, but Henrik does a good job of calming the girls down when they are relaxing in the same bed.

Chantel and I took them on their first trip around the block. We could tell that the enjoyed the change of scenery since they were looking around and listening to the insects.

Camille has another appointment with her pediatric ophthalmologist to assess the capillary hemangioma on her eye. Her doctor is keeping her on steroids and is having us put a patch on her good eye for an hour a day. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to bother her at all.

At first I thought you forgot one of the babies when you went for your walk around the block! Then I see tiny Annika being carried by Grant. It does seem like Henrik is going to be the girls' protector. They do calm down when they are by Henrik. The pictures are so cute. Thanks, Aunt Kathy
