Happy Mothers Day,

Things at the gaggle house have been busy to say the least. Susan's sister and brother in law came to stay with us for a while. Not to mention her brother came for a weekend. We showed them around town and they were a huge help to us in taking care of the babies. Zoe and Sidney are growing very fast now. The latest stats:

Sidney
Length: 23 inches
Weight: 12lb 5oz

Zoe
Length: 23 inches
Weight: 12lb 4oz

As you can see Sidney passed Zoe in weight. That is because Sidney has figured out how to drink 5-6oz of formula at a time whereas Zoe is still getting only 2-3oz (she eats more often though). Currently Zoe is sick (congestion, cough, sneezing, etc.), but she doesn't have a fever thank goodness. Zoe has also changed her method of crying. She used to just yell, but now she wails with tears and everything. Both Zoe and Sidney are smiling a lot more now. Everything seems to amuse them. Zoe does seem to be upset more often than her sister though. We have discussions about who inherited who's personality :)

We are tired. Very, very tired. It has been helping that the girls have been sleeping mostly through the night. As I am writing this though, it is time for Sidney to go to sleep and she is staring at me with big, awake eyes. I can also hear Zoe crying at her mother and coughing a little.

To all of the other mothers out there, have the best mothers day ever. I know Susan is :)

All the best,
The Gaggle
