This was a big week! It was Easter AND we had Aunty Rochie visiting from Australia!

We had so much fun with Aunty Roch.

Bedtime

2 Month Vaccinations & Weight Check..

Last week we were 2 months old! We had our first round of vaccinations and Mum said we were troopers.

Stella weighed in at 7lbs 13oz and Harrison weighed 9lbs! The cute Bonds outfits that Nanna JJ gave us now fit perfectly!

We were both exhausted after our vaccinations

We had a fever the next day but Mum & Dad looked after us

Harrison in his favorite position... 'The Thinker'...

EARLY APRIL

All our visitors have left and it's just the four of us. We have been on our best behaviour for Mum.

She has been rewarding us with lots of cuddles

 

 Hanging with the boys... Will & Jack

Stella - Oh.. Mum & Dad bought a new camera.. so the photo shoots continue

This was taken at 7 1/2 weeks... after Mum put the camera down Harrison rolled for the first time. He nearly crushed Stella. Stella is doing very well at tummy time too moving her head from side to side and perfecting her push ups.

Daddy & Harrison

MID TO LATE MARCH

Lots has happened in the last few weeks of March. Sadly Nanna JJ and Pop have gone back to Australia. Mum and Dad are both camera crazy and take lots of photos of us... so many that they have broken their camera!

FEBRUARY 15, 2011 - OUR 'BIRTH'DAY

On February 15, 2011 we gave Mum and Dad a big surprise! We decided we couldn't wait any longer to join the party and at 34 weeks we were delivered by emergency c-section at Mount Sinai hospital. Mum had been on bedrest since we were 30 weeks old and we got sick of waiting. 

Harrison - born 4lbs 13oz at 6:24pm

Stella - born 4lbs 11oz at 6:27pm

Because we were so little we were admitted to the NICU. Harrison was allowed to go home 8 days later. Stella stayed a little longer and went home 19 days later.

 By the way - it was snowing the day we were born. Here is the view of Central Park from

Mum's hospital room.
