Literally . . . THE BOMB . . . As in nuclear blast ! These two little angels of nine weeks old are blowing apart their parents world. Kent and Kristen are hanging on by their toe nails and Smith just keeps wondering "What the . . ." ! (I do believe Smith may have picked that up from his parents who are saying "What the . . ." every time Wynn or Grey start to cry. ) And these are GOOD BABIES !
Just the logistics of trying to sooth two screaming babies at the same time is impossible. It cannot be done no matter how you try. Kristen is doing an amazing job feeding the two of them at the same time. She gets one set up propped up on pillows and one in her arms and then gets the bottle in one mouth being held by her foot while the other is held by her remaining free hand. Oh if only we were an octopus. We have seen a lot of the family and are getting some first hand experience at the shear madness that is twins.
The little guys are starting to develop their own personalities. Grey is a diva already and just demands the attention. Wynn is taking after men in the family remaining quiet and thoughtful. They are both smiling, is it gas or a true smile? I know Grey is smiling because she is making her parents nuts and that's what us women do. Big brother Smith thinks these two noisy additions to the family are pretty cute and he is getting braver by the day. At first he wanted no part of these two squirmy, noisy things who disrupted his world but now he is hugging them and helping mom and dad by getting blankets and pacifiers when the twins need them. Smith is even able to blot out the night time hysteria that signals feeding time at the zoo.
Hopefully things are settling down into a bit of a routine and mom and dad will soon return to the land of the living but right now they are prime candidates for the cast of THE WALKING DEAD.
Funny how before the twins were born Kent and Kristen got watching back episodes of that show and were totally hooked on it. Who knew they them selves would soon be zombies?
