Their doctor appointment went good today. Ali is 6 lbs 4 oz now! She's surpassed her brother who has just made it back to his birth weight (just around 6 lbs). Stuart had difficulty eating in the beginning because he had a weak suck reflex and couldn't latch properly. He and Ali have to breastfeed together. He needs a big pillow (for comfort of course), somebody to hold him, somebody to keep him awake, and somebody to suck for him (that's where Alison comes in, her job is to get the magical fountain going)... and of course somebody talking to him telling him sweet wishes always helps. Hey, whatever it takes. He's doing better now with some small interventions.
Alison likes to suck on Stu's head sometimes. She's finally let him go to sleep in this picture. He's got to think sometimes, "What do you have to do around here to get some peace and rest!?!"
Stu sound asleep.
Ali, tight as a bug.
Daddy bought them a beautiful comfy crib. They have soft cozy blankets... but they like Mommy and Daddy's bed best!
