Here are some pictures from an impromptu afternoon photo shoot mid-week last week, when both boys were unexpectedly wide awake after a feed and looking particularly alert. The sun was also streaming in through my windows and it was a really nice day.
Enjoying a brief little spell of sunshine:
Cuddling my babies, squee! They smell so good.
Al and Teo are both growing and while their legs and arms are still just skin and bones, the change in weight is noticeable. I don't have a baby scale so we used the really informal method of weighing ourselves with and without them to see the difference, but it appears, and we are pretty certain, that they have surpassed their birth weights. They both eat, sleep, poop and pee non-stop - and that is exactly what they're supposed to do!
Teo's face in particular has filled out a lot more since birth, which means it's become even harder to tell them apart. Alex's face continues to be bigger and rounder, but it's only really noticeable when placed directly next to Teo, and even then is still difficult to discern at certain angles.
The personalities of the boys are pretty different though, and have been since birth. Teo is very observant and quiet and generally calm. Al tends to be a bit more active and loud. However, since we have brought them home they have morphed toward the same general consensus when it comes to changing their diapers - they hate it!
They generally like bathing, but not the part that requires them to get naked or cold (so all of the time before they hit the water, and all of the time after they come out of the water and before they're fully dressed).
This is Al - can't say he seems too thrilled to be wet!
This is Teo - marginally more alert and relaxed about being tossed into a tub of water.
Other than diapers and bath time, both boys are blessedly relatively easy-going. They are still mostly just sleeping and feeding (and pooping and peeing) and I am enjoying ample cuddle time! I have also caught them both smiling in their sleep from time to time and it is one of the sweetest things that pulls on all my heartstrings.
