It cracks me up when Iris calls me "sweetheart".

Neil has started moving, inchworm-style. And he now rolls from front to back by using his legs to push his butt way up in the air and then over to the side. (He's been rolling front to back for a little while, but he was originally doing it by pushing up and over with his arms.) He also discovered his feet.

Zinnia has really gotten into grabbing things to put in her mouth. She's also started taking really solid, long naps.

Both babies are now able to out-pee a disposable diaper overnight. Bah. I guess this means I'm back to having to actually get out of bed and change them when they wake up in the night. (On the plus side, the fleece sleep sacks kept the bedding dry.)

Iris got to visit the doctor this week, too. She's growing well - 83rd percentiles for both height and weight. (38.5 inches and 34.5 lbs) The doctor was impressed with her speech, since she was talking almost the whole time. The most surprising thing was that her ears were ( cut for grossness ) Iris was amazingly cooperative throughout the ordeal and then got two shots without crying. Who is this kid? It's like there's this switch that flips when we go out and all of the whining stops when other adults are around because it's so wonderful to get out of the house.
A few hours later, Iris ran up to me crying that her band-aid hurt. I was immediately scared that she was having a vaccine reaction and took off her band-aid to check the spot. I could see the two pinpricks, and they looked fine. But the entire area under where the band-aid adhesive had been was bright pink. Her skin looked a lot better after a bath plus a few hours. But we're going to call the pediatricians' office tomorrow morning to see if we can find out what she might have reacted to.
