Today was also a celebration at the American Club for their 60th birthday. We bought tickets to the family fun events, but Ainsley really only enjoyed the balloons. They had some characters onsite like Barney and Spider Man but they scared Ainsley and she didn't want to be within 20 feet of them. It reminded me of my fear of those mascots at Chucky Cheese!
The twins had appointments with their pediatrician on Friday (12 weeks old). Both are doing well and growing at an above-average pace, but they are still very small for their age. Kara weighs 11 pounds and is 21 1/2 inches long. Jack weighs 9 1/2 pounds and is 21 inches long. Developmentally they are behind, but if you adjust their age for their preemie delivery they are doing quite well. We are proud of their progress and happy that they are healthy. Here is a pic I took right before we left for the appointment:
Ainsley has new words in her vocabulary and it is so much fun to watch her learn. To the untrained ear she talks gibberish, but we can usually decode most of it. This week she learned to say "love you" but it actually sounds more like uh-oo :-) She has a crazy obsession with shoes and toes. The most exciting part about leaving the house is picking out what shoes she is going to wear. She can also say please, thank you, night night, and the very popular umbrella (we say that word almost every day here). This week we bought her a new golf club set which she loves. The red overalls are her favorite outfit right now.
Here are some pix of everyone from the week. We finally got Jack smiling on film but I couldn't get Kara's big smile captured. I got one of her silly expressions that looks like a smile. I'll keep trying to get her smile because it is really cute.
Matt leaves for the states one week from today so we are praying for the twins to make progress on their night sleep so that the week is bearable for everyone left in Singapore :-)
