Disclaimer: We're not bad parents, we just haven't taken any pictures in the past few days.
And truth be told, there hasn't been much change, either. Robert Graham is growing, as his little legs are gaining just the slightest amount of chubbiness to them and his fingers are full and plump. He can power down his feedings, sometimes sucking an entire bottle of breastmilk (about 50 ml) in less than two minutes.
Oneta Simone has plateaued in her progress, still only taking every other feeding via bottle (although yesterday she did take two bottles in a row but has yet to repeat the feat). Mandy had quite an experience with her today when changing her diaper. As soon as she went to wipe her bum, Oneta SHOT out some poop, covering all her bedding and even the back wall of her open crib. Too bad she didn't have the camera, although in all honesty I don't think either of us have been camera ready when changing a diaper.
As she was finishing up her feed, she burped and gave Mandy a bit of her food back. The nurse said that she has noticed that Oneta does better when she is burped midway through her feeding to reduce the monster belches that often bring up some of her lunch. This is quite the opposite of Robert's behavior; if he is stopped midway through his feeding he often seals his mouth shut and will not open it again. He is also good at keeping his food down, but once he is done he can let out a powerful belch - especially for his dad who must know just where his 'sweet spot' is.
