Yet another exciting day in the life of the Goddard Family. We are getting some serious breastfeeding practice in each day and both boys are doing very well with it. The boys are in all respects doing terrific! They are eating well, pooping well, & sleeping well. They really enjoy sharing their bed with each other and are often found sucking on one another's fingers or shoulders for comfort. Their nurse today decided to truely "cobed" them -- which means swaddling them together in the same blanket. They seemed to love this and cuddled like spoons for their entire morning nap. We are beginning to see personalities appear as well. Elias is a talker. He makes lots of little noises and faces - especially when he is full and swaddled. He will make noises right back at you when you engage him -- even while he seems to be asleep. Gabriel is consistently more alert than his brother -- eyes open wide watching everything going on around him. However, he is quiet and content most of the time. When he does get upset, his cry is very quiet and sounds like a kitten mewing. It is extremely cute! Right now, both boys are very calm (not cryers) and seem content to have each other's company.

Today was the first day where we had to travel in to the hospital to see the twins. It was a little emotional to then have to turn around and leave them again... Fortunately, we have reservations at a family-care house right next to the hospital starting Monday. (So Chris and Kathy will only be available via cell phone most of the time. Anna will be watching the dogs at the Cool house, so you can keep reaching her there.) Hopefully, Kathy will not explode waiting during the travel time to see them before Monday!!!!

We will keep posting photos as often as we can! Chris is becoming a master photographer with his favorite subjects. I think we could wall paper the house with the last 5 days worth of pictures. Enjoy!
