Another day of firsts

First visits with a pregnant mom-to-be (Lindsey) and a real live European (Serge).
First visit with one of the local adopted grandmas (Donna, Scott's mom).
First night under sole supervision of Chris and Kate - Kate's parents left this morning. So far, they're pretty wired from the day so they aren't sleeping much.



Here's a photo of tummy time. They're pretty young to do much in the way of activity, but we do get them squirming on their tummies during most feed times. The physio we saw for Molly's hands was telling us that the old milestone charts for babies (holding head up, crawling, standing, walking, etc.) are pretty much out of date because the movement to have all babies sleeping on their backs (to lessen SIDS), has had a developmental impact on babies. Because they spend less time on their fronts, they get less of a work-out on the muscles in their necks, backs and stomaches. So it's important to have them spend time on their tummies while they're awake. As a side benefit, it's really entertaining to watch them wriggling around, trying to get their heads and legs off the ground. Molly managed to flip herself over from back to front, and appeared quite overwhelmed by her accomplishment.
