It's a BIG day!

What a milestone! The boys both took their bottles like champs today! It was like they had been taking bottles forever. Both of them knew just what to do and they did great. Cole had about 10 cc's and JD had 11 cc's. That is just about a 3rd of an ounce which doesn't sound like much but for them, it's a lot. They are going to have two bottle feeds per day for the next day or two and assuming that they do well with them, they will increase accordingly. They will have their feeding tubes to supplement until they get a little better at it, then they will pull their tubes out and see how they do. We are so proud of them. Here are a few pictures. I took video of both of them as well - if I can figure out how to load video, I will add them as well.

It's a banner day on their 7 Week birthday!!!

Kate,
This is really big! Wait until you see how fast they will go from barely doing one to doing all of them. They are so cute.
