The twins had their 2 week "Well-Baby" appointment a day late (their doctor wasn't in the office on Wednesday). Both boys have gained back some of the weight they initially lost, but aren't quite up to their birth weights - they are within a few ounces each. Just to be "safe", we will take them in again next week to ensure they are continuing to gain the weight back. There really isn't a concern, given that they are both still "large" for their age (as compared to a singleton), and very large compared to twins.
We have established a routine that is working for us now - we will just be working on extending their nighttime sleeping hours.

| Sleeping together (this is their nighttime arrangement right now - they like to be near eachother, but not necessarily touching). (Harvick on the left, Jarrett on the right) |

| More sunbathing. (Jarrett in the back, Harvick in the front) |

| Patrick is creative how he holds them together - they are often stacked in some way. (Jarrett on "top" (left); Harvick on "bottom" (right)) |
Both boys are big sleepers - Harvick only spends about 1-2 hours awake (other than nursing), and Jarrett is awake about 2-2.5 per day.
Finally - to celebrate their 2 week "birthday", both boys enjoyed a shower! The main stump of each of their umbilical cords fell off at 1 week, but we waited a few extra days to make sure it was fully healed. Both boys did well in the shower - the warm water put them to sleep, just like it had with Ryder.
