Its official Kevin has his first nickname...Chuggy. We don't really call him that all too often, but that's what I call him when he eats. He can down a 5 ounce bottle in about 10 minutes. When he finishes it he cries like he is still starving. So last night we tried upping his food to 6 ounces, and he was less of an angry baby when he finished 6 ounces, but he still seamed like he could have eaten more. Look at the recommendations you should start giving 6 ounces at 2 months, so we are about a week or so early on that, so we don't really want to go any more than 6 ounces right now. This morning I swear he spit up the whole 6th ounce so we are thinking that even if we started giving him more then he would just spit it up anyway.
Alex is still eating 5 ounces at a time, and that's a struggle to get him to eat it all sometimes. They are spitting up a lot less at random times now, but more seams to be coming up with the burps. At few of the last feedings Alex has spit up some much that there will be a puddle of partially digested formula in the burp rag, and if you don't get the burp rag there fast enough to catch the puddle then you get your entire shirt & pants covered in spit up (yes...I have done that a few times now ). Sometime he will spit up like that as much as 3 times per feeding. I'd say that I need to change MY clothes at least once every 3 feedings. But I guess the good part of the mass projectile spit up is that it rarely gets his clothes, and its much easier to change myself than it is to change him.
We have a doctor's appointment this Friday and we are going to talk to the doctor's about the spitting up. Hopefully the doctor's can tell us something that might help with it. Other than the spitting up they both are very healthy little boys. They are both growing very well. No idea how much they weigh now, but I can say that its enough that your arms start to get tired now when you hold them for too long ( especially Kevin ). Kevin is still the bigger of the two, but Alex is definitely catching up a little bit. As Alex grows and fills out he looks more like Kevin every day. In fact they are starting to look so similar that there are times that I need to look closely to tell which one is which.
In the last couple of days there is finally a good way to tell them apart with out too much work. Their hair is really starting to come back in. Kevin doesn't look like an old man anymore ( he had the bald top of the head with the hair going around the sides and back ). His dark hair is coming in and making the top of his head really fuzzy. Alex on the other hand is not looking quite as much like Lex Luther ( with his bald head ) as his blond hair is starting to come in. Since Alex's hair is so light you need to look real close to see it, but even from a distance his head doesn't look shiny anymore.
