Sorry for the delay in pictures, things have gotten busy. Here are just some highlights and if you want to see more pics just let us know!Brighit swung for the first time in a big girl swing today at the park

Colleen asleep all sassy style!
Girls being silly!
Brighit's cute hair!

Brighit has her 6 month (can't believe it!) appt on Sept 8th, so I will have new figures then on how big she is, and she is DEFINITELY big!

Rolled over!

Brighit rolled from her tummy to her back once this afternoon and then from her back to her tummy twice tonight!! Yippie..night night

Dinosaurs, Jumparoo, and real food!

sisters just being silly

Soo much going on lately that it's hard to keep track. Here are some pictures of Colleen enjoying a dinosaur puppet show at the park. We didn't stay too long as it didn't keep her attention and it was almost 90 degrees.

We met with Brighit's specialists today about starting her on solids. Since the 7th of July she has gained 14 oz and has grown 3/4 of an inch!!! She is definitely going to be able to keep up with Colleen being that big! Brighit tried some rice cereal and some bananas tonight at dinner. She loved the bananas and does a really great job of opening her mouth for the spoon. She definitely feels like a big girl eating with a spoon.We also had to get Brighit a new Jumparoo as the one Colleen had wouldn't work anymore. She must have worn it out! It is a little hard to use at first but as she gets bigger it will be great fun for her

Not much else going on. Have a great day!

Such a big girl!

Ok, so I don't have any pictures to show (hopefully I will feel like doing that soon) but just wanted to let everyone know Brighit's stats. Colleen at 4 months weighed 13 lbs 13 oz and was 23 7/8 inches long. Today Brighit weighed 14 lbs 2 oz and is 25 inches long. She is between 50 and 75 percentile in each category and Colleen has always been between 25 and 50 percentile..is amazing how each child can be soo different!  The dr is very happy with all the things that she is doing and how strong she is. We are truely blessed to have been able to catch her PKU so early so that she will have the best chance at a normal life. Granted she will have to be eating different foods, but hopefully we will be able to make each meal match ours with foods that she can eat. Like when we have spaghetti she can have low protein spaghetti..yes, there is protein in spaghetti!! She won't notice that difference for a couple of years though.  Night night everyone!

Quickie!

The girls are doing great! We've been busy doing all sorts of things! Colleen is a great big sister and gets smarter every day. She's doing a little bit of potty training and it's slow going but she is enjoying it. Brighit slept through the night 4 times last week and we go tomorrow for her 4 month check-up! I'll post some pics and her stats tomorrow (hopefully). Night Night

Potty Time!!!

After a little bit of PeePee on the carpet (no big deal) Colleen went peepee in the potty!!! Time for ice cream after lunch!!!

VIdeo's of the girls!

Here is some video of Colleen playing basketball. We got this little hoop last summer so she would have something active to do inside. When we first got it she had to have it all the way down so the hoop was level with the red ring on the neck of the hoop. Now she has is on the 4th level up, which is a good 12 inches above where she started out! She had made 4-5 shots in a row before I ran to get the camera, so she's getting tired!

Here are the girls sitting on Colleen's Princess couch.

This is the best picture we have gotten of the girls lately...soo cute in their jammies after bath and before dinner! Sisters!
