Its amazing how early their little personalities develop and how different they really are.
Sara currently has the honor as the heaviest baby (14 lbs, 5 1/2 oz), or "chubalub" as we like to call her (she'll hate us for that). Julian weighs in at 13 lbs, 9oz. They are both 25.5 inches tall. They are both rolling front to back, and Sara has successfully rolled back to front a few times now. Julian hasn't even shown an interest, so we'll be registering him in a remedial rolling class soon.

We took them to the Strong National Museum of Play last weekend. Its a really cool place, and it is a shame that we won't be in Rochester when they are old enough to enjoy it. I avoided Sesame Street....for those of you who have heard Dave Chapelle's take on Sesame Street, it's a scary place (google it...its hilarious...I'll never look at Snuffy the same way). The miniature Wegman's is unbelievable, although I was quite upset that they conveniently left out the beer section.
Tela has been great with the babies, and she is getting used to less attention and more independent play. Unfortuantely, caring for her hair has proven to be difficult. I dropped her off at the groomer a while back, and got a phone call shortly after I left her. Apparently, she has a lot more poodle hair and not a lot of lab hair. Tight and curly. Well, she was quite matted, and the groomer informed us that she needs to be brushed at least once, if not twice a day to prevent mats from forming. I have enough time to brush her about once a month. Maybe I can hire one of the neighbor kids to brush her. We'll just have to accept the fact that she'll never look like a bear cub anymore....
And she'll look more like a gangly baby deer. I really can't believe it is the same dog. When Melissa went to pick her up at the groomer, she was like "Where's Tela?" And the groomer lady was like "uh...she's the dog that licking your hand and jumping on you."

hey guys, it's sara lavery (friend of pat and fran). musy say a) your kids are freakin cute, b) really like the girl baby's name and c)totally feel ya on the doodle matting issue. my dood, stella, mats in an instant. and oh, then there is the fact that i really don't have like $100 to get her all fancy all the time. but i will tell you that i found this awesome shampoo called best-shot (ordered it on line. the conditioner, if you leave it on for a few, rinse and then blow dry...the mats come right out. no one warned me that my dog's hair would take more time than my own.
How the heck are they four months already?
