are you sick of metta pictures yet??

Metta's first bath looks eerily similar to Ike's first bath. even the same dirty dishes.

Metta had her two week follow up visit today and was a total champ.  She was awake and wide eyed the entire time- with no tears!  and then promptly fell back asleep once we put her in her car seat.
and she's back up to birth weight- now actually three ounces over- 8 pounds 8 ounces.

I'm pretty sure that I have the world's best sleeping newborns.  it can be hard to wake them up to feed- but I'm not going to complain that my babies sleep too much!!

She honestly almost never cries- but if she does- this is what Ike does immediately.  It's the only form of acknowledgement he makes toward her.  He honestly doesn't touch her- or talk to her- or even talk about her.  Kent was holding both of them on his lap last night and their legs touched so Ike quickly retracted his leg so they wouldn't touch anymore.

I'm a little worried these kids are going to have fried brains pretty soon.

This week has been much better- but they are still spending far more time than normal in front of the tv!!  with the warm weather we've been outside more- and spent some time with friends- but they are getting in more than their fair share of lightsaber wii battles and donkey kong.  In fact- first thing Ike says when he wakes up in the morning is: "can I play super mario brothers??".

 

Here's miss metta after her doctor's appointment. Sleeping.

I think she's a lot cuter than our boys were at this age. Is it because she's a girl?  or am I just jaded now?  do I think she's so cute- when in actuality she's really goofy looking?!  maybe it's the bows.
