On Jan 11, Charlie and Bruno turned one month old. While they haven't gotten much longer, they have certainly grown much thicker. You can see it in their heads:
You can also see that they're losing their lanugo (downy fetus fur) from their heads, hopefully to be replaced by human child hair soon.
They are drinking ever-increasing amounts. It is now typical to down 120 mL (4 fl oz) at a time. We think our lives are hard, but to put theirs into perspective, I like to consider that we weigh 20 times what they do. Imagine drinking 80 oz (~2/3 gallon) of milk every three hours. I don't wonder that they feel a bit uncomfortable at times!

Tandem bottle feeding is a key strategy for preserving what is left of one's sanity.
One of Katy's favorites. Bruno on Jan 3.
Hiccups & gas on the floor, Jan 2
Charlie lively & hungry on Jan 8
Charlie gesturing & Bruno getting cranky on Jan 10
Happy momma on Jan 10 (though she's pretty much always happy).
Charlie with bottle propped. This is done chiefly so I can hold the camera or type things.
Bruno on Jan 8. I couldn't leave this out.
I would prefer the babies sleep like this, if only the pediatricians allowed!
They change so fast! We're only a few months ahead of you and we're exploring bed-time rituals, solid foods, laughter, and getting dangerously close to crawling :). They add one "little" trick at a time to their repertoire and slowly become actual little humans! Amazing!
