Thing One and Thing Two had an excellent weekend and have a had a pretty good start to the week. They have not allowed their fame to go to their heads. Any one who wants a link to the video clip should shoot me an email or post a comment and I will get it to you. Amazing how many people we didn't tell who actually saw us any way.

Griffith has decided to use his fork. Sometimes. He really liked using it for the sweet potato cakes (who knew such a product existed???) available in your grocer's freezer case (here in the South any way). Allan ate (like with his mouth and every thing) nearly 3/4ths of one himself. This was on top of eating 1/3 of an honest-to-God banana on Friday.

Allan still takes nearly all of his nutrition via the peg but we are getting more aggressive with the oral feeding. He can eat -- it simply doesn't interest him because he isn't ever hungry. We are working with his doctors and nutritionist to get it so that we pump him full of calories on his overnight feed and then let him get to the point of "on demand" feeding during the day. We are going to get new supercharged formula and see if we can't make the switch over the next couple of weeks. The key is to make sure he is getting enough to keep growing (he is still less than the 3rd percentile in size) but still encourage him to eat, eat, eat. Last night he crawled over and pulled up on Griffith's high chair after we put the Griffster in his seat to eat. If he is big enough to whine then we need to give him a chance to eat.

Allan goes to the dentist for the first time tomorrow. The enamel on his front four upper teeth is discolored and a little funky-looking. It will probably be 1) he was a preemie 2) on meds and 3) with reflux and 4) he'll lose those teeth anyway, but we want to make sure. Griff escapes because his teeth look great (except that they both have the most extraordinarily pointy, vampire-like canines) and you couldn't get him to sit still and open his mouth for all the tea in China.

Bedtime.

Cheers! Enjoy the pictures.
