At five weeks, the guys are doing exactly what they're supposed to be doing...24/7 eat/sleep/poop/pee/eat/sleep/eat/eat/eat.
Yesterday Luke (above) weighed in at 8.4 lbs and John (below) at 8 lbs. Without even counting the typical weight loss/regain of the first week, these guys have added another 60% of their original body weight in one month! Double chins and massive muscles, as the photos plainly show.
John's vocal chords continue to, as Amber described it, make us "move faster." Luke's cry is more of a volcano that slowly crescendos. Luke's a little more social - he'll look at you soulfully, right in the eyes, while John's still too busy taking everything in to rest his gaze much on us mere mortals.
John continues to arch and move about with such force that we think he'll be rolling over next week and hurdling the crib in mid July.
Both of them have cool male-pattern baldness hair...John's is darker and we wonder if it will get curly. He's got his maternal grandpa's forehead. Luke's hair is basically golden - we've decided it will become the light gold-brown hair that his paternal granddad (used to have).
We're completely exhausted and I (Pete) continue to wonder at how Julie stays so mellow, sweet and patient with the boys and me. Above is a sight familiar to Julie - swarthy husband (with double chin to match the boys') bearing hungry little monsters.
Grandma Miriam is a godsend who blesses our little family every day with her acts of service.
Thanks to each of you aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who've come by to visit and help...WE LOVE YOU GUYS. We feel so very blessed.

Those boys just keep getting cuter and cuter, if that's even possible! Glad to hear they are putting on some weight. Those skinny legs are pretty cute though. I love to see the perspective of Pete holding them because it reminds me that they are still really tiny. So fun! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for working so hard to provide us with: A) such cute nephews, and B) great pictures of them. :)
