Cole continues to eat like a super star. He was averaging around 300-500 ccs just a few weeks ago, now he’s almost at 700 cc/day (30 cc = 1 ounce). His eating is still a big concern, but it doesn’t take up every waking moment of every day. I think the babies both might be going through growth spurts. Paige has started eating like a mad woman. Okay, not sure if mad women eat a lot, but you get the idea. Cole started propping himself up on all fours. He’s definitely crawling, it just sucks all his energy up. We haven’t used Cole’s glasses yet. Long story short, they suck and we need a new pair because they don’t fit at all. Even if we had a pair that fit better, we are not sure how we are going to keep them on him. He’s a mad man, not sitting in one place for too long. Tobie took the babies grocery shopping for the first time today by herself. What a brave woman! We also got approved for occupational therapy. I believe we now have all the therapies lined up for the babies: physical, occupational, play, speech, and vision (do they have a smell therapy?). Saturday we celebrate our wedding anniversary at the Boulders Resort. We have a tradition of going there every year for our anniversary. It will be the first time since leaving the NICU we will be leaving the babies in the care of someone that is not Tobie. Wish us luck.

Way to go Cole!! Keep a munchin’!
So you two have a mad woman and a mad man on your hands, eh?
They’re cute enough to get away with it. Happy wedding anniversary!
Just for fun I went searching for “infant smell therapy” — I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that there are some really interesting results:

If the smell of vanilla helps breathing, I better test what beneficial effect is created by the smell of rocky road ice cream.
