Grandma Portle Visits

So, my mom has been here for a week and it has been great. Dinners homemade every night, a chauffeur to doctor's appointments, and an extra set of hands are never a bad thing! The babies are still sleeping a lot, particularly Gryffin. He's had trouble keeping his temperature up since he was born, which means he spends all of his calories staying warm rather than active. So, we're still supplementing formula and dressing him in fleece sleepers with booties all day and night - despite the nice California weather! Hopefully he'll have gained back birth weight at tomorrow's checkup.

Here's my mom with the twins

She also helped us give them their first sponge bathes.

The kitty (Titan) has had the hardest time adjusting to the babies. She decided to jump into the pack and play the other night and landed right on Zailey's little tummy. Zailey was fine, but mommy nearly had a heart attack! Here's Titan trying to get a little cuddle time, but Daddy's lap already had Gryffin in it!

And just for fun, some baby pics!
