The boys were baptized on Sunday after attending their first Mass.  They handled both very well. They slept through most of the Mass, only waking when the bells rang. During the baptism, they only cried a little when the cold water hit their heads. And of course, they looked adorable in their little white christening suits. Check out the pictures in the Baptism album .

Zach and Alex had their two-month checkup yesterday, and they are doing very well. Zach now weighs 9 lbs 1.8 oz and is 21 inches long. Alex is 9 lbs 9.6 oz and is also 21 inches long. They are gettting more and more alert each day and are starting to show signs of cooing and smiling. They still eat every 3-4 hours, so, unfortunately, Mom and Dad aren’t getting much sleep yet. They are really good babies though, as they are pretty content most of the time.

Both boys arrived safely at St. Francis hospital in Shakopee on January 29, 2006.

Zach was first, at 8:06AM, and let everyone know that he was there… He weighed in at 4 lbs, 13oz. and his length was 17.5 inches. His “bigger” brother followed him two minutes later, at 8:08AM, weighing 5lbs., 6oz. and was 18 inches long.

Both boys and mom are doing great, just need some time to recover from the trauma. Hopefully mom can be released Wednesday and the boys sometime after that (could be a week or so).

We took pictures, but unfortunately had a problem retrieveing them off the digital camera. I may have walked by an x-ray machine or some other device that destroyed the data, but I managed to hack the XD filesystem and recover some of it.

Here are some more pictures.
