Hello all!
Erick and I (barely) survived our two weeks without help. We were certainly grateful to have Amy (Lam) and Liz come this last weekend.
Things have been going well with the girls. we are still working on weaning them off supplementation. Meera is doing a better job than Emma as she doesn't spit up as much. We just weighed them and Meera is 8 lbs 13.8 oz and Emma is 8 lbs 15 oz!
We have had some fun times these last few weeks. My co-workers from the County stopped by to meet the girls and bring us Indian for dinner. Then we went to the Oregon coast and had fun hanging out on the beach. The girls didn't sleep well while we were there but it was good to get out of town.
Peter Strom was in Portland this last weekend for a Lindyhop dance workshop and he stopped by before we went to pick Lam up from the airport. Then Lizzy drove down from Seattle and the two girls helped us out a TON over the weekend. Lam just left today (Tuesday).

We are getting more eye interaction and almost daily smiles!

Meera still likes to sleep with her back arched.

Check out the neck strength! And Em now has eyelashes almost as long as Meera's!
