It's hard to believe that George and Clara are 6 weeks old today. They have grown so much in the past few weeks that I barely remember what they were like in the NICU. George is over 8 pounds now and Clara is about 7 1/2. George is really strong and holds his head up by himself. I think he will be rolling over before we know it. Clara has found her voice and makes all kinds of noises. She gets really chatty when she is in close proximity to George. I wonder what she is trying to tell him! John and I keep saying that George will be running circles around Clara while she is asking him where he is going! They are more and more alert every day. Our favorite thing to do is lay on the Baby Einstein Activity Mat and watch them interact with each other and the toys.
Sleeping continues to be a challenge but the past two nights George has slept for about 5 hours straight. Hallelujah!!! Unfortunately Clara is not quite there yet but we keep hoping she will turn a corner soon! George, Clara, and I have our routine down during the day when it's just the three of us. It's definitely a challenge being outnumbered by babies but I wouldn't have it any other way. We've enjoyed many visits from our friends and family. John's sister Christina and her husband Sayed are in for the holidays so George and Clara met their Uncle Sayed for the first time. We really look forward to spending Christmas at our house around the tree with all of our family. It will be a special first Christmas for George and Clara. We will see what Santa brings them.
