Andre the bottle baby

Andre finally accepted the bottle yesterday afternoon!  We are both so relieved to see him slurping away on the bottle after almost two days of resisting and getting frighteningly thin.  Tiny Tim had no problem switching, and is busy growing in an effort to catch up with his larger brother.  Until they come when called (shouldn't be too much longer now) they are only out of the dog crate with supervision, but they got in some serious bounce-time this morning after putting down about 8 ounces between the two.  Hubby's mom has requested video of the bottle babies climbing all over us, so we'll try to get to that.  Right now, we are feeding every 2-1/2 to 3 hours during daytime, because their little stomachs can't hold too much yet.
