The kids turned one-month old yesterday. We celebrated with an early morning drive to T.O. for Molly's 3rd set of casts. Everyone seems happy with the progress of her feet. And her hands continue to loosen up too, so she'll be even more perfect in the coming months. We used the cast-less moment to weigh them in the hospital. Jacob is up to 7lb3oz and Molly to 6lb13oz, so all is well. They seem really big to us, until we meet older babies. We stopped by Priya and David's for lunch in Toronto, and Rowan is twice their size at 4 months. And she has enormous eyes and actually smiles. That looks fun. Earlier in the week we actually made it out to dinner at Mike and Lisa's (who have been like the super welcoming committee for us), and the kids were practically peepless throughout. It is definitely best to begin our socializing with people who have lots of kids so expectations are low!
And just so it doesn't seem like everything is bubble gum and roses, we've definitely been through a couple of crazy-tired spells this week, where the tedium of the endless cycle of feeds and sleeps (or feeds and fail-to-sleeps) has felt like our own version of Groundhog Day. I can see that the social smile and occasional feedback will make an enormous difference when that happens. But the little guys really are fantastic.

So good to see you all. By the way, the diaper supplies (and 2 of your washcloths) got left here. And your 2 beans may be a bit smaller than Rowie, but they got mad skills. It's going to be fun when we reach the stage of true play-dates. love, p,d&r
