Happy New Year!

It was a quiet night, apart from the dogs going crazy with every pop of fireworks around the neighborhood. The boys didn’t seem to notice though.

Brendan decided to start the year off on his cranky foot. He was very upset for most of the morning and we could not do much to console him. Maybe it is his resolution for the new year, he changed from a baby that did not tolerate being held to a baby that did not tolerate being put down. The only way to get him to settle down was to keep him on me, so we both took a nap.

We got a cool mist humidifier to try to help Brendan with his poor dry nose. I notice the difference in my nose in the morning, but it didn’t seem to change anything for him yet. I can’t stop playing with the water vapor every time I walk by the thing though. (We continue to let Star Trek play in the background during the day. There are, after all, 177 episodes so it will last a while!)

The boys are starting to notice more of their surroundings which is good because there are more means to distract Brendan from his discomfort.

Did someone say cheeks??

Trevor’s sleeping patterns are improving. He went four hours between feedings last night, but then seems hungry every two hours during the day. His shirt should say Mommy’s Chunk!

It seems like the moment I try to sit and start to do something, the babies will cry. If I sit and do nothing (but not sleep), they sleep peacefully. How do they know anyway?!
