NEW LINK
The link for the pictures has changed. My sister has a spot online where she's going to do occassional updates too. So the link now reflects that site. Don't worry, there's still pictures of the cuties. :)

Saw them on Friday for a little while. They're doing good. My sister was over while I was having dinner with my dad and other sister. Mostly the little guys ate while the rest of us were eating. And when I was done, I fed Xavier. Little dude sucked his bottle right down. He had started it just a little earlier, but didn't do too much with it. Gas or something in him. A couple of small burbs and he was good to go. The kid is a champion burper. When we were done, we did a few more. At least 2 or 3 that you could hear halfway across the room. (And I haven't even started teaching them about burping. I'm still trying to get them to say "Epee" :) )

THEY'RE GETTING THERE
Well, as of Monday, the little guys are 4 months old. Hard to believe. Yesterday was their 4 month checkup. And the official stats are:
Ethan- 13lbs 10oz, 24 3/4 inches.
Xavier- 15lbs even, 23 3/4 inches.
So Xavier is over a pound heavier than Ethan, but an inch shorter. But they're still adorable. :)

Was over at my sister's house on Saturday evening, just in time for baths. Talk about night and day personalities. Xavier had his bath first. He's splashing the water, giggling, with this really big grin on his face, basically having a grand old time. Then it's Ethan's turn. Not so much fun for him. He starts squirming and fussing, NOT liking his bath at all. There's almost a look of relief on his face when the bath was over.
Other than minor disagreements about water, everything seems to be going well for them.
