Johnson Jungle

WOW! Peyton LOVES to eat. He is on bottle feedings completely! He is a wild man...When I barely even touch the bottle to his lips he opens right up and attacks! And when I take the bottle out he keeps sucking like he's getting something. Isabella is quite the little lady when it comes to meals. She gets anxious when it is time to eat, but she takes it slower. She loves to put her little hands right up on her cheeks when she eats. She has long fingers and her little middle fingers bend a little backwards at the top joint making it look like she's a little double jointed. Her face has really rounded out. She weighs 5 and a half pounds as of last night. Peyton is 5 pounds 3 ounces! Ever since they were born everyone says that Peyton looks like he towers over her. She was a little longer at birth so maybe it makes her look thinner, but she has always out weighed him.
Just a little memory...I was thinking about the 3 days surrounding the time when Peyton got really sick with NEC and Isabella started to get sick. I get a little teary eyed because I have a really special memory of Stan talking to the babies...We really only got to touch the babies every 3 hours and not in between and that was when they were doing well. When they got sick it was even more important that they were left alone to try and fight NEC. This made it especially hard when they got sick because we had to stand by their isolette and just watch them sleep. Stan would open the little door to their isolette and tell each of them that he loves them. He would tell them to grow big and stay strong. He gave them each a priesthood blessing and they did what he said...
