Emerson and Stella went back to Boone Hospital last week for developmental clinic. Stella finally caught back up with Emerson...they both weighed 11 lbs 4 oz! Emerson is still quite a bit longer than Stella though. Emerson was 23 3/4 in. long and Stella was 22 3/4 in. long! James and I sometimes wonder if Emerson will be tall like him and Stella will be not so tall (like me!) I guess we will just have to wait and see. Both girls did really well at developmental clinic. We were a little bit concerned because they had to skip their morning nap so we could be there at 9am, but they both did great! They were being tested according to their adjusted age (it was 2 months 25 days.) They both tested between 3 and 4 months developmentally! We have two tough little girls! Emerson's hair is finally growing back, and it sticks straight up! Stella's hair is growing back on the sides, but she is still pretty bald on top...she really does look like Great Grandpa Bob! The girls are starting to interact with each other a lot more. It is so funny! They smile and talk to each other whenever they can see each other, and they have even started holding hands. Emerson is eating her cereal really well and can almost get her feet to her mouth. Stella has started scooting around in her crib and loves to sing along with music. Hopefully, she sings better than her parents! James has been really sick, but so far the rest of us have stayed healthy. We are really hoping that the girls and I can avoid getting sick. James' brother, John, and John's fiance, Sarah, came to visit for James' birthday. Here are some of the pictures:
