Pop Quiz

Guess which baby drank 70 ml from his bottle last night? (Hint: his name starts with J and he's extremely cute.)

Guess who was laughing on the changing table this morning? (Hint: same as above.)

Guess which baby protested being put on the scale at the doctor's office yesterday by sending out a stream of pee so big that it hit the picture on the wall above him? (Hint: his name starts with M and he's also extremely cute.)

-----------------

Yesterday when the physical therapist was doing her evaluation, she looked to see whether the babies quieted down from just talking to them, and she also used a rattle and a musical toy to check their eye tracking. (Matthew was fascinated with the musical Ernie toy.) We mentioned James's hearing loss when she was almost done with that (since we didn't want her to mistake it for a vision problem), and she hadn't known about that diagnosis. It was interesting, though, because in watching his responses to her, I don't think an observer would have noticed he had a hearing problem. I'm not sure if that's because he was actually responding to the visual stimuli (seeing the toys, her smiling, etc.), or if he could hear some or all of what she was doing. And I'm almost positive he heard the doorbell this morning; I happened to be taking pictures of him when it rang, and his eyes got very wide!
