The babies and I have just returned from a fun-filled visit at Grandma and Grandpa's (my parents in Farm Life). Steven went out of town to a conference in Missouri and I was not about to try to manage two babies on my own. We were there for four nights and had a fabulous time. Meredith actually began sleeping through the night while we were there; one night she slept from 10:15 pm to 5am and the next night from 11pm to 5:30am. Now, in my book 5am is not sleeping through the night, but according to my mom you do consider that sleeping through the night. I told my mom that I'd much rather the babies learn that sleeping through the night means that at least the sun has to be up. I don't want to complain though because 5-5:30am is a huge improvement! The babies are clearly recognizing faces now and just fell in love with my mother during these past few days; they particularly love it when grandma kisses their toes. Unfortunately the batteries died on my camera while there and being a new camera, I couldn't figure out how to change them, so we didn't get any photos. I loved that the babies got to spend some quality time with my dad, we spent a lot of time in his room playing with the babies on the floor or feeding them. I hope that hearing their little coos, laughs and even their cries is good medicine for grandpa. The babies also had a couple of visits from Mima and Papa (Steven's parents) while they were in Williamston. I tell you, these babies are REALLY LOVED!!! Other milestones...they've both begun noticing each other now, no major playing with each other yet, just a lot of staring. Meredith is using her hands a lot more trying to grasp toys in front of her, Berkley's been doing that for a week or so now.
Before going to my Farm Life we had a doctor's appointment for the babies. Nothing major, just a follow-up and weight check. Meredith is now 11 lbs 12 oz and Berkley is 13 lbs 11 oz. We can't believe how much they've grown and how well they're doing.
Here's a sweet picture from the doctor's office of my two precious ones

How fun! I know that the time with the twins had to help your dad-even if only by lifting his spirits! BTW- 6 hours in a row is considered "sleeping through the night" but I'm with you on the daylight thing!
