The girls are both starting to smile so much these days and it's super cute! I don't know how much time I waste trying to get them to smile at me, but I know it's a lot :)
Here is a short video of Kylie smiling at her bear rattle which is laying next to her changing mat. They now love getting their diapers changed because it means they get to look and smile at all their friends!

Video of the girls' first try at tummy time :)
This was when they were 9 weeks old which is 3 weeks old adjusted age. Adjusted age is how old they would be if they were born full term or on their due date of Sept. 5th. They use adjusted age when it comes to measuring their development!

Caelyn & Kylie Becoming More Alert
This is Grandma Shireen writing. I arrived in South Africa last Sunday and am really enjoying my time with my grand babies! It's been so fun getting to know these little munchkins :)
Our little girls are growing quickly and becoming so much more alert. Quite often they are staying awake for short periods of time after their feedings. They are also becoming more aware of their surroundings - including each other and their toys. In addition, Caelyn has started rolling from her side onto her back.
We took them for their injections on Thursday. They did very well, but it was so sad to hear them scream from the pain of the needles in their tiny legs. The Dr. also weighed them and we were both shocked at how much they'd grown in just 2 weeks! Caelyn gained 340g, now weighs 3.33kg (7lbs 5oz) and is 53cm long. Kylie gained 400g so is now only 400g behind Caelyn (vs. 500g), weighs 2.94kg (6lbs 7oz) and is 50cm long.
The weather's been really nice so we've been taking them for walks on the farm almost every day. We put them in slings and off we go with all 7 dogs too!
They turn 2 months old this Sunday! We'll take some Birthday pictures of them then, but here are a few pictures we've taken in the last week for you to look at in the meantime:

Some New Pics of the Twins :)
We're happy to report that the girls are doing SO well! They are growing really fast and now weigh 2.5kg (Kylie) and 3.0kg (Caelyn). They've been home from the hospital exactly 3 weeks today and we've all survived :) We've celebrated two Birthdays already.... their 1 month old Birthday on Aug. 25th and their full term Birthday on Sept. 5th. We are sleep deprived, but loving having them home and watching them develop! They are both becoming so much more alert and have even started looking at us. They are also now looking at the stuffed animals on their cot mobile, making tons of cute noises, etc!
I have more pics that I have yet to download from the camera that I'll post soon, but here's a few that I took last week for now!

Twins Turn 1 Month Old Today!!
Happy One Month Birthday to our baby girls! We can't believe it's been a month already since they came to see the world, but we are SO happy they are here. We feel like the luckiest people alive to be parents of these 2 precious little girls!
We've only been home from the hospital for 2 nights, but so far it's all going well and we're loving it! Their breastfeeding, sleeping pretty well in their new beds, and enjoying all the time in mommy & daddy's arms :)
Here are some pics of them on their bday! Thanks to Robin they have stickers to mark them on each month of their 1st year of life! Thanks Robs!!
