Yesterday at this time (4:45) Paige and I had just finished feeding two of them (I have already forgotten who) and the house had multiple lights and was hopping. Today is so much better, all three are still sleeping and have been since around 1 a.m. So nice when they cooperate.
The brothers including Caleb are doing great. We did have an issue with Major this weekend. Paige actually took him to the Dr on Friday. He was a little stuffy and was having a little difficulty in breathing. On Saturday he had not made any progress so we took him to Tx Children's Hospital. It was not an emergency but the Dr's office was not open on Sat so we TC was our best option. The Saturday babysitting (child rearing) team was in total control so we did not have any worries at home.
The experience was great as far as hospital visits go. We got in fairly quickly, they diagnosed the illness and started treatment. We had to sit around ( it was quite ok, very quiet and he slept for a while) for a couple of hours after his treatment before getting released. He has been great ever since.
Caleb has been great, even with all the attention the other brothers are getting. He is growing and developing every day. I can not wait until he can feed the brothers :-)
Have a good one!

New Pics and Updates
At last we are back - I will try to give updates and new pics on a weekly basis :-)
Cooper - Doing great - he is the heaviest at 12 1\2 pounds and the shortest (forgot their heights) by a 1\4 inch. He rarely creates issues unless you push him past his eating time. He loves to smile and hang out. Very low maintenance with Cooper.
Joshua - Has been doing wonderful - he is the most bossy of the bunch. We are working on his communication skills but thus far he is resisting. He is the most steady. He weighs in at 11.14 lbs. and is the tallest. I expect Joshua to be the intellectual of the group - he seems to always be studying the room. He also cracks a smile and coos which I assume are really orders that I do not understand just yet.
Major - He is improving every day. If you remember he had the surgery and other swallowing\digesting issues. There was a young lady that is part of the follow up team for Major the other day and she made a suggestion on how to hold him when feeding him. I thought it was typically mumbo jumbo stuff until I saw the results. It really works great. Major now weighs 11.8 lbs. He has an easy smile that he turns on with ease.
Paige - Mom has been the biggest champ of all. She runs the show, keeps everything organized (notice the colors of the names) by color and charts. She has been the greatest through all this.
Family - we would have gone under a long time ago with out all the family help. No amount of Starbucks cards could repay everyone for all of their time, patience, and HELP.
Here are some relatively new pics of the brothers.
