Settling In

How we tell them apart: the tops of their heads. Patrick, being the first one out, has only one swirly. Luke, being the second one out, has two swirlies. I’m sure there is a technical name for this body part, but I don’t know what it is. The other way we tell them apart at this point is to just look at them. They don’t look identical just yet, but we anticipate that they will soon. Luke is on the left.

How we change diapers: usually assembly line style. Grandma had the great idea of putting all of their diaper needs in a clear plastic shoe box so we can take it from room to room and even change them on our bed in the middle of the night. For this, we have to be extra careful to use our changing pad and cover quickly (see note on Luke in previous post) Luke is on top.

When we put down them together, they always end up making some cute pose. Here, Patrick was crying a little, and Luke stuck his hand in his face to get him to stop. Patrick took the opportunity to enjoy a new kind of “binky”
