OK, I got my camera fixed so I can post pictures again. The babies are 6 weeks old today. Poor Walt had his circumcision today, glad that's done with. The Doctor is concerned because they haven't really taken off with their weight gain, especially Walt, so I have to bring him in again Friday and if he hasn't gone up a good amount then he'll possibly need to go back to the hospital. That was pretty depressing. The Doc. asked us to start supplementing formula and that will hopefully solve the problem, so we started that today and hopefully they will gain enough by Friday. Walt now weighs 7lbs. 6oz. and Daisy weighs 6lbs. 13oz. The Doc. says even though they've gained some weight, on the growth chart they aren't going up, they're actually lower than 5% for both weight and height. 
Daisy is my social, smilie little girl, but also is the one I have to hold a lot because she has a very sensitive tummy and gets colic easy. Walt is very serious and very observent when looking around his eyes are always WIDE open. He is patient and always lets Daisy feed first if taking turns. It's been a lot of nursing these first few weeks, but I feel so blessed to have these wonderful spirits in my home and life!
My brother Greg came to town last weekend to meet the babies. 
He had more fun playing with the bigger kids. The kids had a lot of fun playing with Uncle Greg!
Here is one of my favorite pictures of Daisy and Walt at two weeks old. (I just wished it turned out better).

Looks like things are going well. At least with supplementing you will get a little break here and there. They are beautiful. My brother was the little scrawny one when they were babies...that definately changed!
OOHHH! I wish I was there to hold them! They are beautiful Jenny! I am glad you posted more pictures. Keep 'em coming.

Your babies are soo cute and soo precious. Enjoy them!-Laura
