Our New Stats

hmm, this stuff is pretty good
well, I will try it if he does
see, Look-it's good!
What are they doing now? I just need some rest....

We are growing quickly. We had a pediatrician's appointment yesterday and the doctor says the boys look great. They are healthy and growing appropriately. Liam continues to be a little smaller, but appropriate for his age. Liam is still very long and lean and Luke is a little chunky. He agreed we have some picky little guys that don't want anything to do with a bottle, so he gave us some other suggestions to try that will help to give us some flexibility with feedings. We started consistent cereal feedings a few weeks ago and we will increase these feedings and maybe try some baby food veggies if that goes well.

They are both a little on the cranky side after the shots, but they managed to survive (even the "Drama King" aka Liam). Thankfully, John is excellent at consoling the boys and worked with Liam quite a bit last night and this morning. I did, however, learn my lesson the last time and provided a little Baby Tylenol in advance of the shots which helped.

I am including a few pictures of our attempts with cereal. They are beginning to get the hang of it, especially Luke. Luke gets very excited about the whole process and impatient if you don't feed him fast enough. Liam, on the other hand, is still not too sure about it but is thankfully giving it a try. Adi (the dog) is not too sure about the whole process, but has grown accustomed to crying and sudden outbursts from the two little guys we spend so much time caring for!
Luke:15 lbs. 15 ounces

25 3/4 in long

Liam:13 lbs. 2 ounces
