Big Boys get BIGGER!!

The boys have gotten so much bigger in the past few weeks. Both are officially twice their birthweight. Elias is 8+ lbs and Gabriel is more than 7 lbs. WOW Time really flies. Kathy has been working hard on the feeding. Yesterday we started and experiment in feeding with Elias -- a babymoon. We let him feed on demand all day long with no bottle top offs. All went well and he even gained an oz in the morning! So the breastfeeding is finally looking up. We aren't getting our hopes up too high though. This morning he was back to his old, formerly pokey rate of intake...

What a big boy!


What a rollar coaster ride this has been. Even with all the feeding excitement and having parents in town, things haven't all been easy. Chris has been sick and everyone has been having trouble sleeping. This makes for a punch drunk state for the entire house! :-) Below is Sassy demonstrating our point:
