Just enjoying the day outside. Getting in a little tummy-time and keeping the jaundice at bay. Its been nice taking the wee ones outside to enjoy the afternoon. They've been on several walks and even took a stroller ride down Soco. We had a lactation consultant visit yesterday. Ro-ro is not wanting to nurse. She discovered during her jaundice stint that milk flows freely from bottles and now she'd rather have her milk shaken--not stirred. We discovered, via a scale the consultant had, that she's also good at faking it. She'll appear to be nursing, but isn't actually taking in any milk. She even makes little gulping noises. So, we now have a program, so to speak, to get her on the wagon again. Presently, I'm nursing one baby and pumping for the other.
Evey, on the other hand, is a super-efficient nurser. She can nurse for a mere 10 minutes and take in 3 oz. She gets very mad if you're slow getting set up to nurse her though. She wants her milk and she wants it NOW. She would stamp her feet if she could and often times she'll angrily throw her tiny little fists around, her whole face getting red. Its really very cute.

Such adorable pics!
My bebe feeds more like Evey - Mike said she could suck the print off your thumb :-P She'd turn colors and wail if I didn't start nursing fast enough. I only use the pump now though so others can help me more (ie: take her off my hands for more than 2 hours!).
