Six Weeks

Addilyn and Ella are six weeks old today. They are growing so fast. They have outgrown almost all of their preemie clothes and are now wearing newborn sizes.

I got out the baby scale to check their weight gain today. Addilyn weighs 7 pounds 5 ounces. Ella weighs 6 pounds 15.5 ounces. They are both right on track gaining about 1/2 pound a week. I sure am glad it's them and not me!

Chloe, our cat, of course, can't stand for the attention to not be on her. She had to steal the spotlight by laying on the scale and making sure we weighed her as well. She's a whooping 12 pounds 15 ounces.


Chloe is very curious when it comes to the babies. Gracie, our other cat, is not too fond of them. I think she thinks they are too noisy and usually stears clear of them. Chloe, on the other hand, likes to supervise feedings. She watches them when they are on their activity mats and even comes into the nursery if the babies are crying. I think she will be very sweet to the girls as they get older, that is until the girls are old enough to want to dress her in doll clothes. Then we might have another story on our hands!
