Mallory and Kelby: This one will work

The girls were born on November 16th, 2007, 16 weeks early. Mallory Kate – 1 lb 8 oz, Evan Reese – 1 lb 1 oz, and Kelby Grace – 1 lb 5 oz. Upon their delivery, Mallory and Kelby were transferred to St. David’s South and were doing fairly well considering the circumstances. Our little Evan Reese was a fighter, but she had a lot of problems and she was with us for about 5 hours. We love you Evan and we miss you everyday, but we know we’ll see you again one day. Mallory and Kelby both went through a lot in their 105 day stay in the hospital, from heart surgeries, to brain bleeds, to infections. Many prayers were answered and we thank God everyday for everything He has done for them. Today they are perfectly healthy and growing bigger and stronger everyday. We started this blog to keep everybody updated on their progress. You can scroll down to the bottom of the page for a slideshow from the NICU days.

This one will work

I have been working on the girls baby books lately and noticed I needed a "Messy Me" picture. I think this one will work. =)

Just as a note: This whole being messy with your food thing is an adjustment for me. We only do the really messy foods like jello, macaroni, etc every now and then. And right after we are straight to the bath tub and de-gunking the highchairs takes place. Kelby for the most part stays moderately clean while eating unless it is a messy food. Mallory on the other hand is like her Momma- it all ends up in the hair. Cheerios, veggies, cheese, chicken nuggets, turkey, gold fish, fruit etc. I can even spoon feed her in hopes to keep her clean, yet some how her hair will be "glued" together with whatever she ate. She does manage to get some food in the tummy in between dragging it through her hair and dropping it off the side for Heidi. Malloy and Kelby both are roughly 19lbs.
