The Donald

Colton - impersonating Donald Trump

"What'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis?"

Here's Sulley giving her brother an earfull but as you can see, Colton is quickly learning to ignore her.

Last night, we put the chilluns in the crib to see how they'd react to the mobile which plays classical music while brightly colored animals float around.  Needless to say, Colton seemed more interested in the sight and sounds; Sulley was too busy giving Colton an earful...AGAIN.

Monday visit with Dr. Meyers

We took Colton to his first dr's appointment today with Dr. Meyers and Sulley conveniently had her two week check up at the same time. Colton received a gold star and was even complimented on his "great muscle tone." Those "Allen calves" are already apparent on his tiny little legs. Colton Chubster Allen tipped the scale at a whopping 5lbs 5 oz, while Sulley is behind at 5lbs 2oz. Sulley had a great check as well but Dr. Meyers informed us that she's not gaining weight as quickly as she'd like to see; therefore, she recommended that we add teaspoon of rice cereal to her bottles!! The first try didnt go so well, i mixed the cereal with half milk and half formula... Sulley quickly spit it out and even tried to push the bottle out of my hand. When i mixed the cereal with all milk, she took it down in her normal hungry animal fashion. The funniest part is though it seems as if Sulley's taste buds have suddenly changed because all of the sudden, she refuses to drink just Pregestimil. Honestly, i can't blame her at all, i wouldn't want to drink something that smelled like burnt broccoli either... at any rate, this makes our lives easier because we can keep a huge vat of milk/formula mixture in the fridge.

We ended our day with a walk through Shirlington and stopped by the Teeter for a few things. The most challenging part was pushing our "train" of a stroller up the hill home. I seriously thought we were going to have to call for back up. I guess i won't be making that stroll much by myself and if i do... for those that live in the area and travel through shirlington, please keep an eye out for me as i may be one day calling you for a tow home.

I'm still Older!!!

Sulley was talking trash to Colton during his long anticipated exit from the NICU.  She was commenting on how she is a better eater than Colton and he replied "Look at my shirt sis. I won the big race and you'll always be my little sister."  Sulley's only reply was one of her trademark belches after a big bottle... Welcome Home DoublePounders. Its gonna be a fun ride from here.

Homecoming

First Night Home!!

 The double pounders and Hannah, Luke, and Zach

Here's Cousin Lucy is showing her new cousins her skills -- she's learning to stand....and fly

As soon as Colton came home, we dashed over to Jud and Ing's to show him off.  Everyone was was surprised when we walked in with two carriers, not just one!  Colt45 and Sulley had so much fun with their cousins that they're already asking when they can play with Lucy, Luke, and Zach again and when cousin Hannah is going to babysit ;)

Our night went as expected... we tried jumping in bed early and catching some Z's until the rabid animal girl started crying because she was hungry again.  Once her belly was full, i went to bed and had my eyes closed for all about 30 seconds when i heard Colton crying.  Greg's turn!!  Both of us were up at 3 and i got up again at 6:15am...Coffee was served at 7:30am and greg had made bacon and eggs by 8:30 so no biggy!

After a trip to target and lunch with friends, both are enjoying some quiet tummy time!  It won't be long until tonight's party begins...
