her fingers In between each holler.
Emile gets her feet up and plays with
the tassels on her bootees: she likes to
pretend that she doesn't want her
bottle and then clings to it. Yvonne
hollers loudly and slips her thumb
into her mouth between times. An.
nette does the same. For some rea.
son or other, the last feeding Of the
day Is the noisiest. They just can't
wait for 1t.
January II. We were asked today
how we tell the babes apart. Yvonne
has three long hairs, and when In
doubt We pull them-or rather stretch
them out. Annette Is the prettiest-
something rather square about her
Jaw. Cecile has very round face;
she also plays with her fists more
THIN the others. Emile is the larger
Of the two smallest, and has a point

She is very dainty.
January 10. Added coddled egg
yolk to their diet. They're rather
fussy about it, but I think they will
like 1t. It's funny to see the egg and
vegetable all over the babies. They
manage to slobber all over.
January H. The babes are fed
every four hours. They get ounces
each, with cereal in the milk. They
get cod liver oil at 730 am, with four
teaspoonfuls Of orange juice The
cod liver oil is the cause Of a face,
but the orange juice is very good.
They 60 out for three hours in the
morning after their bath and break
fast. They get tomato Juice at 3 pm,
fresh clothes and sponge bath after

strangers and stare at them with
their great big eyes. DR.. Dafoe usually
says Hello, buns to them. I for one
believe he loves them much more than
he lets on.
January 49, The quins are now
getting egg, cooked vegetables. fruit
/ pulp-apples, etc-from a spoon. and
