First Family Photo - 4/27

It started with Sister Reunion part 2 and turned into our first ever family photo. Every step of this journey had provided us an opportunity for some form of denial as to what we'd gotten ourselves into but, at least for Danny, putting them together and seeing the four of us together made it as real as its been so far.

It's hard to believe they're 3 weeks old tomorrow. Despite a lot of routine every three hours when they're fed and have their temperatures taken, each day holds new adventures and exciting news. They are both having fewer Brady episodes and are consistently putting on weight. Brooklyn is past her birth weight and weighs in at a hefty 4 lbs 5 oz. Madison now tips the scales at 3 lbs 12 oz and continues to close the weight gap as she gets better at bottle feeding.

In fact, Madison has graduated to a crib effective today! Pictures to follow. Brooklyn was nervous when first hearing about Madison's transfer to a crib but calmed when realizing she would have her own crib as Madison recently tried reliving the karate match that played out during pregnancy. Brooklyn handles it all with class as seen by the nice block she put up. (Don't be fooled by the closed eyes as Madison was demonstrating black belt caliber techniques at the time of the photo)
