6 Weeks Old

EJ is passed out from too much grog. Let this be a warning about the dangers of drinking while reclining.

EJ sports a message for Grandma.

Liesel is Momma's (and Daddy's) girl.

THE twins are 6 weeks old today. Not much change. They're heavier. He is colicky. She is becoming more so.They still feed frequently, between every two and three hours. She has begun to regurgitate more frequently. She needs burping every few sips from her bottle.

EJ has earned the title Pterodactyl or as the Parents like to pronounce it "Terry-dactle" because he grunts in a low growl reminiscent of a movie dinosaur when he, well, um, for the same reasons you may grunt over intestinal distress relieved by a bowel movement.

The New Family Parents have made friends with other parents of twins. They always hope to hear some good news about when the challenges may become easier. The other parent's consensus is that it doesn't become easier anytime soon, though the rewards do increase as the children grow. The Parents look forward to their smiles and increased interactions with their world.
