Uncle Tony and the girls.

I finally got Tony, Barry's brother, to sit down and take his picture with the girls. He loves to hold them everyday after work. He always talks to them and helps out with bottle feeding. However, he doesn't do diapers : ) Yesterday, the girls had a dr's appt. They are both doing great. Chantrell weighs 9lbs. 11 oz. , a gain of 9 oz from last week. Brenna weighs 7lbs 11 oz. , a gain of 7 oz from last week. The dr. asked us if we were contantly feeding them. We said that we offer them 3 to 4 oz. of milk every three hours. The girls just love to drink their babas. They are growing so fast now. They had to get their first shots at almost two months old. Boy did they cry!!! The look of shock and horror on their little faces when they got their shots was enough to make my eyes water. They had two shots in each thigh and had to drink some medicine. Barry and I stopped at a store on the way home and bought some baby Tylenol. That seemed to help with the pain and prevent them from having a fever. So far they are doing fine and their legs don't seem to hurt them anymore. Here are the pictures from today.
Uncle Tony and Brenna on the left and Chantrell on the right. The girls can see much better now and love to stare at us.Barry made the funniest comment while I was taking this picture. He said all three are twins and all three are bald. Tony has a twin sister, Tonia.

How nice to have such help and so many people who love those girls. They will adore their Uncle Tony as they get bigger. I can't believe how much Brenna and Chantrell are growing, they're making up for being stuck in the hospital for so long. When do you guys fly out? We leave Saturday and will get in Warrenton sometime Tuesday afternoon.
