Maddy's Tummy Time

Maddy loves tummy time - crazy I know. She is doing a up to 20 minutes at a time already and has even fallen asleep when doing tummy time! 

Summer Swimming

Both girls have been enjoying summer swims. Gabby is taking swim lessons with Jan Graves (another Bigler tradition) and is doing well. She practices her "big arms quietly" all the time at home and is learning a racing dive. Lilly has been swimming in the afternoons with mom or dad and is really enjoying the water. Lilly and Gabby have a lot of fun playing together in the afternoons...from the sand pit to the swings to finger painting and chalk drawing - the girls are good friends.

Madeline's 1 Month Check-Up

Madeline is growing! At her 1 month check-up she had gained over 2 lbs and grew over 2 inches!! We have discovered that she has a lactose tolerance issue and so we are trying digestive enzymes every time we feed her and they seem to be helping (mom is very happy for this). Her hair continues to stick straight up and is very light compared to her sisters hair at this age. She is sleeping well and is smiling and making different sounds. Her pediatrician is Dr. Rao and we really like her. 

Gabby's Swim Lessons

Today was Gabby's first day of swim lessons. We are doing 30 minutes a day for 2 weeks with Jan Graves. Gabby didn't want to stop swimming when the lesson was over! She gets to get out of school at 11:15 for her lessons and has lunch with Grandmother Ann - these are great memories for sure! 

Lilly and her Books

Did I mention that Lilly LOVES books? She is able to point to different animals and makes their sounds. She can also point to different body parts in a book and on herself. She is starting to have a  couple more words...but her comprehension is incredible. She knows what we are saying and can follow directions (when she chooses to) very well. 

Madeline is 4 Weeks!

It is hard to believe that it has only been 4 weeks since Madeline was born - time goes faster and faster. I could not wake her up from such a peaceful sleep...how cute is she!  Her legs are filling out and I have to really clean in between her rolls! She continues to be a good eater and is sleeping longer and longer at night time!!!!!!

Puzzle Fun

Lilly is getting really good at puzzles. She loves this animal puzzle and says the animal sounds as she puts the pieces in. Puzzles run in the family...they are one of my favorite ways to spend some down time (which I no longer have any of!) :)
