She's growing...

Little Lainey had a doctor's appointment today and she now weighs 6 pounds 13 ounces and is somewhere in the 19 inch range. We are glad she is putting on weight! Especially mommy. And Mommy is glad to be losing weight. I have already lost 19 of the 25 pounds I put on during pregnancy! Hooray! Madelaine is such a sweetheart and she loves to be cuddled, especially at night! Mom and Dad wish we could get a little more sleep but we love all the time we spend with our girls. Aleece is quick to pick up on things we say and now refers to her sister as her little Lainey bug, and she will come up to me when I am holding Lainey and say, "my two girls!" She is such a good big sister. She loves to help Mommy and she loves to hold her sister. Aleece becomes more aware of things every day and seems to grow right before our eyes. She was looking through one of our baby magazines the other day and commented to me, "look mommy, this baby's brown!" Luckily this occured at home so I could explain to her that people have different colors of skin. I would have been mortified if it had happened in public! :) Kids say the darndest things! Leecy T uses complete sentences and continues to amaze us with all she knows! Having children is such a wonderful, miraculous experience. I couldn't ask for a better job than being a mom!
