This is a self-portrait taken about 3:30 in the morning, after finally getting them to sleep after a feeding. I think it was this evening that Lorna said, &#8220;Everyone always says they are &#8216;sleeping like a baby&#8217;... Why doesn&#8217;t anyone ever say they are &#8216;screaming like a baby&#8217;?</p> <p>Over the past few weeks they have put on some weight (everyone is in the 6-7 pound range now), started focusing on things like people&#8217;s faces and their mobiles, and even try to hold their pacifiers. They even play with each other if you put them in a crib together &#8211; the rules to the game are something like &#8220;I&#8217;m going to yell before you hit me, otherwise I&#8217;ll yell after you hit me&#8221;. There is video I&#8217;ll try to post today.</p> <p>They are now eating 90ml at every feeding, which is pretty much every 4 hours like clockwork. They came home from the hospital on that schedule, and although we drift a little, we try really hard to stick to it. We also feed them in order, and it is possible or one person to manage an entire feeding as long as all the kids cooperate.</p> <p>Two of the boys ended up with a case of &#8216;goopy eye&#8217;, so all three were put on an antibiotic for a week. That seems to have cleared it up, but at the same time has turned each baby into a 6 pound jar of squeezable Goulden&#8217;s mustard, if you know what I mean (and if you don&#8217;t, well, you are lucky).</p> Mon, 30 Jul 2007 09:57:00 -0400 urn:uuid:977567f9-8737-4930-a9b2-b133d5a34150 David Bock http://www.bocktriplets.org/articles/2007/07/30/updates <p>HA HA HA&#8230;.great pic!</p> Fri, 14 Dec 2007 11:59:21 -0500 urn:uuid:c9cbd9e6-0c5e-4804-987e-177f929fa8e8 http://www.bocktriplets.org/articles/2007/07/30/updates#comment-170
