Well, our little guys have discovered that mommy and daddy have a life when they're asleep and they want to stay and participate in it. It's amazing, they can be sound asleep in your arms, the minute you lay them down, one or both of them will get going and try to coax you into picking them up (which we resist as much as we can...sometimes :> ).
Karter not sleeping.... Kolton not sleeping...
Woohoo..It looks like Karter has outgrown is need for oxygen! Of all the attachments our preemies have to wear, they're all pretty bearable with the exception of the oxygen. It creates a giant sized hassle to take the babies anywhere (even to another room in the house). We've been taking his oxygen off about once a week just to see how he does and this time his oxygen has stayed saturated for almost 36 hours. We're still going to keep his oximeter on until we meet with the doctor on tuesday but all in all, this is a giant and long awaited step for him and us!.
This picture is the very first time that Karter has been outside just for the fun of it (not going somewhere to get poked and prodded):
Kolton has now amazed us! He was able to roll-over from his tummy to his back on his own! Three times no less! I'm posting video of his third attempt for everyone to see. Please excuse the poor quality, I had to grab the nearest camera and it was a digital still camera that wasn't really built for video.

Here's a cool pic I just happened to catch as they were falling asleep...
I added some more pics to Flicker. Just click on the pictures flashing in the side bar to see them.
Things have been going pretty well. Both boys are doing good, growing daily. Jimmy and I are pretty tired due to the every three hour feeding schedule. They wake up on their own and are eating quite well.
Here's a few pictures of them.
Here they are on their pillow pals that Nannie and Papa got them. They are so soft.
