Well folks, here's Taylor...who would have guessed you'd EVER see her smile?
Granted, it's not all that often, but we can see signs that her cholicy tendancies are starting to subside. She's calm more often now, and is usually happy in non-exciting environments, and particularly if snuggled in someone's arms or wrapped in a blanket.
She had slowed and even stopped her eating for awhile (she had thrush), although now she seems to want dinner more than before (she's now on a soy-based formula...better than the Nutrramigen she was on...talk about an expensive dinner!)
Taylor has finally gained some respectable weight, now at about 10lbs, but has fallen to last place behind her siblings.
Matthew, on the other hand, is a regulary 'hoover-boy", willing to eat anything and everything within grabbing distance.
"Peanut" now weighs in at over 11.5lbs (sheesh). He has passed Taylor and Amanda, and is challenging Samantha for top billing on the food consumption and weight-gain chart.
He'll be a tall boy (given hi mother is 6' tall), but right now he's not as long as his sisters, making him feel (and look a little like) a cannon ball. (but he's a CUTE cannon ball, isn't he?)
Here's Mandy, happy as ever, although I have to add she's had her 'moments' too.
Doing just fine at 10.5lbs, she manages to eat JUST enough to keep growing every day (gonna be the figure conscious one?)
Samantha is still our ball of energy in the group.
She needs to be kept entertained the most, or the results aren't pretty (I assure you)
As best as we can tell, she weighs about the same as Matthew, somewhere between 11 and 12lbs.
