Growing so fast!

George and Clara are seven weeks old today. We had some major accomplishments this week! George slept through the night for the first time. It was wonderful to go to bed at 11:15 and get up at 6:30. Of course I kept getting up to check on him during the night. He isn't doing this consistently but we'll take it when we can get it! He is staying up more and more during the day wanting to interact and play. He is tracking objects with his eyes and turns his head toward sound. He also rolled over for the first time from his tummy to his back on Christmas day! It was amazing. I will try to capture it on video and post it for everyone to see. George almost weighs 9 pounds now!

Clara is also making so many strides. She is holding her head up well even though she doesn't really enjoy tummy time! Clara is also tracking with her eyes and turns her head toward sounds. She bats at the hanging toys on the activity mat too. She makes more and more cooing noises every day. We also discovered that she loves sleeping in our baby swing. While in the swing she may sleep from 4 to 5 hours at a time! She really enjoys dancing with Mommy to Christmas music too. This past week poor Clara developed some tummy problems which can cause her to be quite fussy. It seems that her favorite place to sleep when she doesn't feel good is on Grandpa Quinn's chest, who comes for a visit and lunch once a week. Too bad I can't convince him to move in with us! :) Clara weighs just over 8 pounds now. If you can't tell from my gushing about their development I think these two are just a joy to watch grow!! They are so loved!!

We had a great visit from my cousin Tarala and her husband Tim with my Aunt Pam and her husband Jack. They brought us yummy Maggiano's for lunch and met the twins. Tarala and I grew up in Pennsylvania together and now we both live in Houston. The best thing is that she is seven months pregnant with a little girl. I can't wait to have play dates with the cousins!
