Dust on the bottles

Happy 4-month birthday, boys! The boys' personalities have grown a lot this month. While we trust that both babies will grow up to be very well-rounded individuals, we suspect Caleb may be the slightly brainier twin and Joshua the brawnier one. For instance, when we put the boys in the Jumperoo, Joshua delights in jumping (even though he's smaller than his big bro), while Caleb would rather examine the toy bar. Joshua also seems to be more social and talkative, while Caleb is a little more reserved. For exmaple, Caleb will give you a huge grin, then bashfully turn his head away- it's so sweet! Joshua is quite the talker and will even try to narrate aloud to you while you read him a book!

One thing Caleb and Joshua do have in common is their refusal to drink from bottles, which poses a problem if Katie wants to leave them for more than 2-3 hours at a time. We also have two huge unopened cases of formula (we like to refer to it as "liquid gold") which the boys utterly despise (we hope to find a home for it on eBay!). So their meals continue to consist solely of breastmilk, exclusively from "the source". Needless to say, Katie is looking forward to when they can start eating solids!h Some other things the boys share in common is their love to chew and suck their fists, and most recently, drooling, which makes Halmoni suspect they might be teething. Both boys will also chuckle and laugh when you tickle their tummies! Also, neither boy has yet attained the 10 hours of sleep per night supposedly characteristic of typical 4-month-olds. Caleb and Joshua are very social babies, so they must be afraid they'll miss out on something if they sleep too long!
