Lucy

Just an update on Lucy, she had another echo cardiogram this past Thursday and she is doing awesome. The pressure in her heart has not increased in the past 6 months and there is no leakage from the angioplasty she had as a baby. Overall the Dr. was very impressed, therefore so are we! She is not gaining any weight though (she still weighs just under 18lbs...it's been the same for over 3 months) but she's still growing (she's grown a few inches in that time...so really stretching out!). The weight thing is not an issue though as she's still within normal range and she's otherwise healthy and eating fine.

Both girls are mostly walking now, although funnily enough Kate is walking more than Lucy. Things are changing all the time!

New Wall and Walking

So the girls have decided to walk. A week after their first birthday, well, Lucy decided to walk first, then a few days later Kate. They still don't walk as a rule but will take a few steps here and there to get what they want. :)
They have also shot up in the past month or so. I can't believe how tall they are now. It's all pretty wild.

In other news Chris and I have undertaken the building of a wall in front of our house to pretty it up a bit. I've also moved some herbs and the rhododendron from the front, and moved another one in from a different location. It took 2 weekends and help here and there from lots of people...especially Chris' parents but all we have to do now it lay the sod. I'll post a few pictures in the album if anyone would like to see.

I also plan on adding a couple of pictures of the girls playing in the playhouse with Lucy next door. Cute!
