1 month old<\/p><\/div>\n

The boys are 1 month old today and boy have they changed. They are both getting some nice big cheeks (Ian more so than Hayden) and filling out. They are now close to the size of a typical newborn, but still wearing preemie clothes. They are loosing that newborn look to them and look more like nice “chubby” babies…as chubby as you can be when you are about 6-7 pounds. We have loved getting to know them and their personalities. All their little sounds, cries, whimpers, etc are adorable it has been fun getting to know what all those sounds mean and who they are coming from. Hayden has this little sound he makes…it’s not really a cry or a whimper, it’s just a sound he makes and I absolutely love it! They both smile and chuckle sometimes, yes I said chuckle. Last night Hayden was sleeping and I guess dreaming because all of a sudden he started to smile and actually laugh! Not sure what a 1 month old laughs at, but it was funny. both boys like to cuddle but Hayden thrives on it…he’s our little snuggle-bug. <\/p>\n

They are both good babies and sleep rather well. We are feeding them every 4 hours and they eat, on average, 4 ounces at a time…sometimes 2 oz and sometimes 5 oz. Friday night we started letting them go 5 hours in between feedings and so far they have done well. I’m hoping to get them to a 6-8 hour stretch at night, but I doubt that will happen for another month or so (when they are about 10 pounds or more). At night they pretty much just cry when they are ready to eat (right on schedule) but they do like to stay awake for a while (like an hour) after the 12:00 AM feeding. They seem to have their days and nights mixed up some….which we are working on correcting. <\/p>\n

The last two pictures show you just how small they are. That teddy bear is a standard sized teddy bear, not a jumbo one…It’s bigger than them! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
