1 month old Twins

Happy 1 month old Broden and Raya yesterday April 8th. Wow this first month has gone by so fast. Broden is close to 6 lbs and Raya is close to 8 lbs. They are the two most opposite twins ever! They look nothing alike, I wouldn't even guess they were in the same family. Broden loves to be held and almost needs to be held or else he will cry. He eats randomly - it may be 2.5 hours, 3 hours or 1 hour and it could be anywhere from 1 ounce to 3 ounces. Although in his defense on eating he is having tummy troubles so we are trying to get that worked out. He is now on Similac Alimuntum a pre-digested formula (which costs $29 for a small can - ouch!) and he also started acid reflux medication. Hopefully this will help his tummy not hurt so much. Raya is a great eater - 4 ounces every 4 hours, sleeps well inbetween feedings and hardly ever fusses. Doesn't need to be held - but seems to enjoy it when we do hold her. She sticks her tounge out all the time - just like older sis Kyrah does, he doesn't. He is hot natured, she is cold natured. Dark hair for her, lighter hair for him. I swear if I did not deliver in the smallest hospital ever where they were the only babies I would think one of them was switched. The only thing these two have in common is that they both grunt A LOT!! He does it more then her, but when they are both grunting it sounds like we are living with a bundch of pigs or dinasours. All in all it doesn't matter how alike or different they are - each one is very special and I love them to pieces.

Broden is losing his hair. It actually looks like he a little old man that is going bald and he has just a little in the middle so it is like a come over.
Oh surprise surprise her tounge is out!
