Silas Benjamin and Hazel Virginia


Boy, what a busy week.  Stephanie is still recovering in the hospital but she and the twins are doing very well.  We needed to get some pictures of the twins up on the internets for family and friends back home to see.  I was going to put these up on the facebook, but since some of the family is less facebook literate (myself included), I decided to throw some pictures on the blog.  The minimal explanation and formatting is an indication of lack of much spare time.  I'm sure that when Steph feels up to it, she will post a more detailed account with more pictures.
Cheers.
First non-gory, non-nude photo of the twins
Left, Silas Benjamin (about 7.5 lbs).  Right, Hazel Virginia (about 5.5 lbs)
The older siblings are at first cautious.
Hank is excited to hold his little sister.
Abe is a big big brother and he can hold two babies at once.

Despite her smaller size, Hazel does have a larger nose than her brother.
Silas takes a dummy (pacifier)

Hazel also takes a dummy.  She is the alert twin.  I don't know that I've ever seen Silas awake since he was born.

Congratulations! You have such beautiful babies. I love the picture of Hank holding Hazel. He looks so in awe of his baby sister. I also love how sweet Abe looks holding both Silas and Hazel. What wonderful big brothers. I am so happy for you all.

Of course Hazel is alert, she is a girl. You will know your a live people by the time she is 6 months. I think you may have a little Steph on your hands. Haha. Bet you can't wait for that one Steph.
They are perfect. Perfect size and colour. So thrilled for you both. Little Aussie babies. Aw. Looking forward to having a little 'cuddle' soon.Congrats you guys. And Steph, you look great.

So glad they're here and healthy. I love that first picture--cool angle. I'd say I'd love to cuddle them, but I have my hands pretty full myself right now. Beautiful names, beautiful babies. Good luck to you both.
