Wille Ann

This is our sweet Willie Ann. She comes twice a week to keep the babies. She loves Mahlon and Sara Beth and takes such good care of them. She takes care of me and Wesley too and keeps us in line! Thank you Wille Ann for all that you do!


Today the babies were put on their first antibiotic. They haven't been feeling well for about 2 1/2 weeks on and off(runny nose, sneezing, cough, occasional fever...) Anyway we finally went to the doctor and Dr. Storey thinks they have a sinus infection and fluid in their ears(they are definitely my babies!) I guess I am used to giving medicine in ml or cc; a teaspoon of medicine (in a syringe) is A LOT! At least it is bubble gum flavor! So we have 10 days of meds, but hopefully they'll get over this yucky stuff!At the doctor's office Sara Beth was a little pistol! She screamed when they took her temp and when they checked her ears...Mahlon on the other hand calmly laid there and let them poke and prod whatever! OPPOSITES!!!
They weighed the babies today fully clothed Mahlon was 24lbs and Sara Beth was 21.2 lbs. They're 9 month check-up isn't until the end of May they'll actually be 1 day shy of 10 months!
One cute thing that we noticed today is that Mahlon and Sara Beth are really beginning to recognize each other (laughing, crying, when the other one is not there)It is the cutest thing. I hope to catch it on video to share. For instance, today Sara Beth was sitting in the floor today and I walked away and she started to cry...Mahlon was in the walker across the room and he came flying around the corner to see what was wrong. Of course they both started giggling when they saw each other. SOOOO sweet! They truly love each other. Twins are such a blessing. I can't imagine life without them. This is such a fun stage and I hear it just gets better!
