Video of Emma and Dylan

This week we finally have some new video footage of Emma and Dylan. We had them on their play mat on Sunday afternoon and they performed. I managed to capture Dylan doing his roll over move. It’s pretty impressive.

Stats update:

Dylan now weighs 5.35 kg and Emma 5.02 kg. He’s onto nappy size 3 and she still manages with nappy size 2.

Big growth week

Dylan put on half a kilogram this week. He has started feeding larger portions and is at last starting to sleep a little longer in between feeds. He has learnt a new party trick. He can now roll over from his tummy onto his back. We don’t have it on video yet. When we do I will post it here. Dylan went for two visits to the local GP this week. First was for an eye infection which he got an anti-biotic ointment for. Second he developed a rash. This turned out to be harmless.

Pictures this week are only of Emma:

9 weeks today

We sailed through the 2 months mark on the weekend. Today we saw the pediatrician for the second time since the the twins came out of hospital. He was very impressed with their progress. Dylan now weights 4.7 kg and Emma 4.5kg. According to the doctor’s charts Dylan now has a normal weight for a 2 month old baby. They also got another array of vaccinations. We left the rooms allot poorer since the vaccinations were very expensive. They both got to swallow a couple of mouth full's of gel and then each got a jab in each thigh. They screamed blue murder.

Who is that in the mirror:

Nanny Crisis

We ran into some trouble with our hired help recently. Our night nurse announced that she was going to Cape Town for a two week assignment and our day nurse got sick. The night nurse however managed to find us a replacement who is standing in for her at the moment, however we thought the day nurse would be coming back any day. So Anina has been on full day duty for the last two weeks which has been really hectic. Last week the day nurse announced she was not coming back. So today Anina interviewed new potential candidates. Our chosen one, Jane, is starting tomorrow. We all hope she will work out well.

The kids went for their first outing to the shops on Saturday. We did this in style and went to Sandton City. Dylan slept most of the time and Emma was awake in pieces. We had lunch during which both kids slept very well even though there was lots of hustle and bustle around them.

We finally managed to find a shop that sells baby scales (Italian made in China) so that now we can weight the kids our selves. Today Dylan weighed 4.24 kg and Emma 4.27 kg. The scale is accurate to 10g. This is way more accurate than trying to use the bathroom scale. According to the bathroom scale they already weighed 4.5kg last week.
