I busied myself today knitting a hat that actually fits. Little grape head!It's been a good weekend for eating. Both boys have started to show their first real interest instead of effortlessly snacking through their noses. We've been trying mixtures of breastfeeding (snooze-town!) bottle feeding (mostly snooze town!) and breastfeeding while tube feeding (mostly snooze town!). And when I say "try" I mean it often takes an hour and a half to get through one eating session because we try one thing till it's obvious they're not going to rouse, then move to another, and then another until they're obviously zonked and just get held while lunch drips on down. But this morning Dash took a bottle before we got here, and ate the whole thing. Success! Things have been snoozy the rest of the day for both of them, but a little spark of interest is wonderful. I know they won't go off to college eating through their noses, but sometimes it just seems to take forever. You are used to babies being motivated by food, really driven by it, and when you instead have two lumps that could really care less it is a shocking difference.
snooze town on Charlie's lapWe just wait, and they grow. Thank goodness for noses and tubes and nurses.
don't bug me lady, I'm eating.

They are looking more and more infant-like as they decompress from their spacepods. That's exciting about the bottle- and definitely odd for you guys in the realm of infant motivation. But come on- if someone had a nice cozy food tube down your throat, wouldn't you just lie there and be adored by humans? I thrill to each post!
