Braden weighs over 6 pounds now and Addyson weighs over 4! They both reached those milestones on the same day!!! Addyson is now big enough to ride in her car seat.

e eats. It definitely helps him but it's another couple cords to work around. I think we're getting better at it though. They continue to work really hard on their eating.
