YAY!! he did it

My baby boy Arthur hit 1lb today, just over actually. When he came to me he was 126.2G he has gained 334G in just under 4 weeks. I am so proud of him and it was so worth every sleepless night, every 5am knowing I was up for the day, every bum wipe, every cry etc etc. It really is incredible how fast they grow in weight and maturity.

I was shocked when I got up this morning, NOBODY wanted their morning bottle, they wanted real food. I was kinda sad but yet it was another milestone. Last night Kate refused her bedtime bottle, I was worried it was gonna make for a long night, but I guess she got enough food yesterday b/c at 6am they were ALL still sound asleep. They didn't actually take a bottle until 10am.

Their weights:

Muffy still the smallest baby at 14.2oz

Kate will hit her lb mark in the next 2-3 days I am betting, tonight she weighed 15.3oz

Arthur weighed in at 1lb .25oz

I discovered today that Arthur doesn't much like the vacumn, not sure why the sudden change, I vacumn everyday and its never bothered him, but today poor guy backed up into a corner and started hissing, the vacumn wasn't even near him, it was just on. I felt bad, but with dogs, kids, parrots and kittens I MUST do this task at least 1x a day. It's also a household noise that he will hear a lot and needs to get used to it. I am going to work with him the next few days and see if I cannot make him less afraid.
