The boys are now 7 weeks old and you can really tell. They\u2019re just so much more mature now, they\u2019re walking and Andrew actually just started learning how to use the computer. OK, maybe not, but they are changing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The best change so far has been that they sleep longer. Five hours is pretty usual now, and 6 has happened a few times. We had one day that Max slept 8 hours but that was probably just a fluke since he was really exhausted. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Brenda is really getting her\u00a0routine\u00a0down and having Rachel start this week will help that as well. Rachel will be helping out Wednesday and Thursdays to start, and we\u2019ll go from there.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
I have more video of the boys so I\u2019ll be posting a clip each day this week. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
