10 Weeks!

Where is the time going???? It is really almost September!!! The days have seriously been eye blinks since June 18th!!!

We had a fantastic 2 month check up on Friday! Jack and Avery are getting so big! The Dr. was very pleased with how well both of them are growing :-) Jack now weighs 11 pounds 7 ounces and is 23 3/4 inches long. He was only 21 inches at our last appointment..... looks like someone is taking after his Daddy! Avery is now 9 pounds 13 ounces and 22 inches long. She is actually in the 75th percentile for weight and height for a Down syndrome female her age, and is growing so well the Dr. told us she is actually right on track for a typical female her age!!!!! Way to GROW Jackers and Avie Baby (our little nicknames for them)!!!

We have really noticed the babies are coming into their own personalities. Jack is our little flirt!  He loves to smile, bat his eyelashes and look at faces. We tease him and tell him all of the little girls in school one day will have his name written on their notebooks :-) He is going to be our tall, dark and handsome boy. We are pretty sure he is not far off from popping out a little laugh. He is a pretty laid back little guy, but he does seem to fret more than Avery. And if he is hungry or needs a diaper change he will by all means let you know with his cries!!! We have decided if it is something social we see Jack do it first.

On the other hand... if it is a physical task Avery is all over it! She is our active baby and has been since she was in the womb! Believe me more than once I was told they could not find her heartbeat because she was moving so much. We knew she was in there because we could watch her kicking me... just could not get her still enough to catch a heart rate at times! haha! Well when she is awake this is still the case! She loves her activity mat, tummy time, and just being a little squirmy worm. She is the one to reach for her toys, try and get a pacifier that has fallen back in her mouth, and she even flipped herself from her stomach to her back at 3 weeks old. She is a VERY determined little girl. We are sure this will serve her well and possibly add many grey hairs to our heads! haha!

As you can tell we are very proud of our kiddos and how well they are growing. We LOVE being their Mom and Dad and can't wait to see what the future holds for them :-)
