After another restless nights sleep we decided to give the girls their first taste of solid foods today. The food that we gave the twins was just pure baby rice which we gave before they had their bottles, Chloe took to the rice very quickly (maybe because it was sweet) but Shannon played around with hers and got the stuff all over herself and the floor (what fun!).

What a difference the solids had on the twins, Chloe slept for nearly 8 hours and Shannon nearly 10 hours (bliss a night of sleep without having to feed one of them!).

Right upto date, well the girls are still enjoying their solids today they had Banana and Baby Rice, and for tea they are having Cheesy Parsnip and Potato Bake (better foods then what we get!), Chloe now weighs 14lbs 1oz and Shannon is 12lbs 11ozs
Chloe likes to make all kinds of noises - at times we are convinced she is trying to speak to us - probably to say "Give me my Bottle/Dummy/Pacifer!", Shannon is more choosy about making cooing noises but she does do it sometimes. The night feeds are not as bad as what they have been, for instance Chloe may wake up in the early hours for a bottle but she only takes 10-30 minutes before the bottle is empty and she is back in bed asleep. Shannon it is even better because for the most part she misses her early morning feed and sleeps all the way through to 5am or 6am giving one of us a nights sleep (normally Emma!).
You may of noticed a difference on the homepage with a new background and also some animated pictures, this is because I thought the site looked a bit dated with the original back-drop and the old preemie photos, so I updated it. I am looking into putting frames on the page when I learn how to write a frames web-page (should be fun!), the links page is not only to do with Preemies and babies but it is now anything that interests me on the Internet, if you like to be put onto this page then please e-mail me and give me your URL. The site will also have links to other areas of mine and my wife's life - may even get our photos on the site!!
Keep posted with the site, to keep upto date with the twins lives, later...
