My old ladies. That's right I said it... Ana is one month old today; Sara is a few more than her. Yesterday Ana weighed in at 8lbs. 6.4oz. She was fighting out of the pink corner.

You'll be glad to know that her little muscles are really getting stronger. She kicks and pushes and pulls and grabs with authority, and she is capable of keeping her head up for increasingly longer stretches. Last night we began increasing the amount of time between her late night feedings, which seems to have worked out well.

Here's one more photo, for your enjoyment.

Ana's first bath

So it's been about a week since we gave Ana her first bath and I'm now just getting to putting up some pictures. She did well, having the bath frog cloth really helped, she didn't scream at all. It's almost time for another bath.

Some more family pictures

Here are some pictures from when Grandma Teresa and Grandpa Jim visiting and also David, Denise and the kids.

This baby needs to learn jazz. I'm sorry but that's just a fact. By the way, she weighed in at 7lbs, 13oz. She and mom are champs as far as I'm concerned. I'm a champ too, but like the junior varsity champ or something.

David, Denise, and the kids left today, ending the parade of visitors until next month. We got some good time in with both sets of grandparents and our older brothers.

Its back to work in earnest for me... I need to finish already.
