The babies are still growing like well fed weeds LOL.
Today was measurement day so I soaked them, cleaned them with a super soft toothbrush, and then measured them. They are obviously used to the routine and just go with the flow.

Awesome. How often do you measure them?

Every 4-5 weeks generally. I didn't start until December 19th though I think lol. I REALLY wish I'd have measure them thoroughly on the first day that I got each of them. WHOOPS!

I'm kind of embarrassed that my intense focus came through in this picture. I'm actually a happy person despite the picture haha. It can be a double edged sword, that focus LOL. I actually have focus issues when I have a lot to do and or a lot going on. Adult ADHD. I never really grew out of it I just learned to cope.
