Chow hounds...

Our new nick name from our mommy is "chow hounds" because we eat so much and are getting so big. Our mommy took us to see our pediatrician for our follow up appointment and we both gained over a pound and a half. The doctor was very surprised and said we are doing well and that babies are age typically only gain a half a pound a week. I (Tristan) weigh 7lbs 11oz and am 19 inches long...yep, I passed up my brother. Titan only weighs 7lbs 9.5oz and is 19.1 in long.

We had a great visit with our Grammy but she went back home to Colorado and now our Grandma and Grandpa Tafoya are here. Mommy put Grandpa to work in the yard, while Grandma cleans and cooks so mommy can rest. Our favorite time of the day is when daddy gets home from work. He holds us when we sleep and is always there when we fuss.


He loves to sing and read to us and he is always really good about helping mommy in the night. Mommy and Daddy are reading up on how to help us sleep longer through the night but we still like to be up every two to three hours. Mommy tries real hard to keep us on a schedule that allows her to feed one of us at a time but sometimes we wake up at the same time. Last night I woke up and wanted to be fed an hour earlier and my brother wouldn't wake up to eat so mommy didn't get any sleep. Thank Goodness our Grandparents are here to relieve her. My Grandpa helped Grandma with a feeding while mommy was a sleep and told mommy when she woke up that he now knows just how busy mommy must be when there is no help. Mommy is now able to take some time for herself now that there are more hands around to help. Mommy is looking forward to her six week check up next week so she can start exercising again.
