Al and Teo turned one month old yesterday! It seems like we were just in the hospital, but then at other times (usually at 2 or 3 in the morning when I am rousing to feed - or at 4 am after I have finished feeding only to hear Lola wake up and refuse to go back to sleep, like she did last night) it feels like it's been a lot longer than that.
As briefly mentioned in my previous post, both boys are doing well and have gained weight. Their arms and legs, while still skinny, are no longer wrinkly skin on bone and their cheeks have become deliciously juicy and plump. Al's cheeks in particular are really big. Sometimes they remind me of little old Buddhas. Their eyelashes and eyebrows are coming in, albeit slowly, and I wonder if they will be anywhere as long as Lola's. They both have really good appetites and eat a lot, very quickly. They are both really strong and with support can sit up pretty straight and burp themselves after a meal - this is good because they sometimes eat so quickly that they gulp down a lot of air. Teo is strong enough that he can lift his head really high and also, when put on his back, practically flip himself onto his stomach.
They are both such good babies - such sweethearts. My confinement nanny says "they love me very much," which is a saying for when babies are so cooperative. They both eat and sleep relatively well and really limit their crying only to when they are getting their diapers changed and bath time. And they are probably only crying when getting their diapers changed because they have such bad diaper rash! This is such a blessing because two infants plus a toddler at the same time is a lot. As it is, it always feels like I am failing short of giving each one the attention that he or she needs.
Here are some pictures captured about a week ago when we were all hanging out in the living room.
Al, who was sleeping very well and refused to open his eyes for photo time. I love this picture because he looks like a little penguin to me.
The boys, relaxing together.
Teo, also sleeping pretty happily.
Me, loving on my bundles of joy.
And of course it wouldn't be complete without Lola!
Or Michael!
