They have come a long way!

Claire is 91/2 pounds and so alert.  She stares at you with those big eyes and looks into your heart.  She is so mellow.  Just sits, looks around, and takes everything in.
Chris was out of town so Craig and I stayed on Friday, Saturday and Sunday to help Nicole with the night feedings.  Boy, we are feeling old.  The 2 am and 5 am feedings about killed us.  But, even in the middle of the night they melt your heart.She started smiling about 10 days ago and Emmett started cooing and smiling this week.  Each day they are more fun.
It's hard to believe that Emmett weighed only 5 pounds.  He is now 10  plus and eating and growing just like a boy should.  He wants to be held and loves to cuddle. 
He is so strong and is holding his head up and even turned over.  He is such a character, always making funny faces and noises.

What joy!
