The weekend recap

The boys have had another good weekend and, so far, this week is starting off pretty well.
Jay was out of town Thursday until Saturday afternoon so we called in reinforcements. Jen came over to see her Pretty Boy (Allan) and he smiled all over himself at her. As soon as she picked him up, though, he hurled every ounce of formula that he had ever eaten right straight down her cleavage. We don't know whether this was retribution for all the rude things she did to him in the NICU or if he was just so delighted to see her that he tossed his cookies. It didn't seem to deter her much, though, because she kept telling him how pretty he was and she came back today to hold him again (no projectile vomiting this time.) Stephanie came on Friday and was whirling like a dervish, holding first one kid and then the other. Kim must have kept Griffith up all night because, on Friday night, he slept the whole night through for Stephanie. Dad made it back Saturday afternoon and took on the boys solo so that Momma could spend some time out. It really didn't even matter where -- just out was fine. Jay was very impressed that Griffith slept through Saturday night -- until I pointed out that the only one who slept through that night was Jay. Griffith and I were up, per usual, at 2:30 and Allan and I were up at 4.
I spent a fair amount of time Saturday acquiring fall and winter wear for the boys. Miss Flora has a lovely, indirect way of letting me know when she thinks that I need to do something. Friday, it was "when do you think we should start putting undershirts on the boys?" Um. Dunno. Today? Just a guess. Any way, in pursuit of undershirts with side snaps for Allan (hard to get pullovers on him because of the oxygen tubing), I managed to find a bunch of little hats (Flora is a big fan of hats, too). Two of the acquisitions have made the blog already. Griff thought he looked pretty fetching in his and he wore it almost all day today. He was quite a little pill today, too. He would take a little sip of his bottle, fall asleep and then wake up as soon as you tried to lay him down. Not just wake up. Wake up and scream and cry real tears. This went on, literally, all afternoon. Flora is pretty sure that someone has spoiled him but she isn't sure who to blame. Possibly someone who comes in at night?
We take Griff back to the NICU Graduate Clinic on Wednesday morning and then both boys get their month shots that afternoon. Other than that, we plan on sitting tight, hanging out and getting bigger.
