Katherine doing her morning exercise with little miss monkey.

Zzz

Katelyn is wide awake and ready to play, but daddy is sound asleep after an exhausting night of feeding.

Bath-time for Katelyn

Both the girls love having their bath, especially Katherine. She always gets into the bath without a whimper, and loves to get wet. Katelyn usually wiggles her arms and legs like a cockroach when she first gets in, but settles down quickly. Both of them love to be on the front in the bath...and they've already both tasted the water...a few times!

Here's Katelyn bathing!

Noisy Katelyn

She may be small but she sure knows how to cry! You can hear her crying all the way down the street! Katelyn has a very cheeky smile and after a good feed can burp as loud as you know who!

Sleepy Katherine

6 weeks old now, Katherine is starting to smile more now. She still regurgitates almost every 2nd feed but is still managing to grow very well. She passes some really smelly wind sometimes!

Proud grand parents!

The babies are out!

Another pic of us at Dad's work family day! Before long the kids will be jumping on castles just like the one behind us!

First outing

Baptism

Another short update. The girls were baptised last Sunday at 4pm in the afternoon. There were about 10 other children being baptised, and it was a beautiful celebration. In her usual style, Katelyn was fretting in the church, but as soon as she was baptised, she feel asleep, and continued sleeping for a few hours! Amazing!

We had about 80 guests join us afterwards in the parish hall for some tucker...friends and family, and we even had a photographer - thanks Sam! Photos will be posted up soon...

Well it was our first big outing with the girls, and it went quite well. Just one nappy change, and one bottle feed over almost 3 hours! Now thats a record!

Mmm...cake...mmm...

In celebration of the girls hitting 1 month old, the tradition over here in Singas is to buy cakes for everyone you know. So we picked up these fantastic little gift cakes from a shop called Gobi (what a weird name...sounds like something that has fallen out of your nose). Check it out...we actually have 2 letter "K" cakes in each box, but in this particular box, it looks like the cookie monster must have already got to it!

Kaboom!

Aha! Katherine cops a right hander from cheeky sister Katelyn!

Growing fast

The girls are now 5 weeks old and starting to become aware of their surroundings. No longer can they sleep while the TV is blaring...now we must either watch the subtitles or sit 10cm from the TV to listen to the low volume (which is a bit of an issue as we have one of those huge widescreens - which was obviously bought BEFORE the kids came!). Their appetites are as ferocious as wild boars who haven't fed for days...each time they feed they will scream and yell the house down until they are fed...we are starting to see them becoming quite impatient. I wonder who they take after?

And here's a picture of Katherine quietly trying to get some sleep, while cheeky looking Katelyn is up to something...

Quietly sleeping...

For once there is some peace in the house...

Record!

Well until last night, the girls have never slept more than 3 hours straight. But we've got a new record...Katherine hit almost 5 hours last night! So despite all the heartache she's been giving us with her nappy rash, almost constant regurgitation after every feed and now skin rash on her face, we were sooo happy!

This Sunday both of them will get baptised at Our Lady of Perpetual Succour church. We attended some 'baptism parenting' classes on the weekend at the church, together with Katherine's Godparents (Clarice & Francis) and Katelyn's Godparents (Jo & Vince). I must say, the discussion was pretty disappointing....out of a group of at least 20 people, there were only about 3-4 contributors - and most of them were from our group! I was almost thinking...what is the point of turning up if you don't contribute to the discussion?!!! Maybe this is the Singapore style?!!! Anyway Sunday is the big day, and we've organised a 1mth celebration for the girls afterwards in the Parish hall...there should be lots of great food for everyone. Its almost gonna be like a wedding celebration...I think we've got almost 90 people invited!

Stay tuned for the pics!
