Nonnie and her girls. Caroline has on her Kyrgyzstan t-shirt which is so cute on her.

Gabby was 2 months old last Sunday and had her 2 month checkup on Monday which included 3 shots in the leg OUCH! She weighed 12lbs 3oz and is 21.75" long. She sure is growing. 75% for weight (that's my girl) and 50% for height. She definetly does not miss many meals which you can see from pictures. The doctor again said she is perfect. I got a little lecture from Junior and the doctor for letting Gabriella sleep in bed with us. He said of course I had to stop it someday so better sooner than later. So, I caved on Monday and let her sleep with us since she did not feel well from the shots but since Tuesday night she has been sleeping in her basinette in our bedroom and is doing great. She is waking 1-2 times during the night to eat but other than that sleeping great in her little bed. Though I miss having her close it is nice to get a good night sleep without her beside me in the boppy. We will give her about another month in our room and then between 3-4 months we will start putting her to bed in her crib in her own room. She has taken a few naps in there and does not seem to mind but I'm not ready to have her that far away from me at night.

We have a long holiday weekend and my birthday ahead of us this weekend so plan to do some fun things. Tonight we are going to some friends for pizza - they just had twin boys a few weeks before Gabriella was born. Tomorrow night Nonnie is going to babysit the girls while mommy has a much needed night out to celebrate my birthday on Sunday. Sunday will be family dinner with everyone for my birthday and then Monday we will relax. Not that a long weekend really matters right now since I'm not working but it is still nice to have a holiday weekend. Hopefully the not working will end shortly. I've been doing some job hunting but nothing has transpired. It has to soon! Just when Junior is back working I am now unemployed - well, at least one of us is working.

Here are a few new pics of the girls from the last few weeks. It is crazy how quickly they grow.

Love,
