Dennis Quaid: Zoe and Boone are ‘fantastic’
Finally clear of the danger of their medical mishap, Dennis Quaid was able to speak freely — and positively — about his twins, Zoe Grace and Thomas Boone, 3 months. At a press event for his new film, Vantage Point, the 53-year-old actor shared,
The kids are fantastic and really healthy and happy kids. I’ve just beensleep-deprived … Last night, was the first night they slept all the waythrough the night, from 7:00 pm– 5:30 am. [raises arm in air in celebration.]
Dennis, who became a father for the second and third time with the birth of the twins, is also dad to Jack Henry, 15, his son with ex-wife MegRyan. He shares that having basic baby know-how makes it easier, but that twins are a whole different ballgame!
Well I don’t know if it’s better but it’s a lot easier. It’s easier in the sense that … when the first one comes alongyou worry about everything. The second ones come along, ‘Oh, yeah,yeah, yeah that’s fine, seen that, done that’ … You’re a little morerelaxed about it. But with two, you need another arm.
Although apparently not yet perhaps a victim of the, ‘Are they twins? Are they identical?’ questions that tends to plague parents of multiples, Dennis laughs that people have a hard time telling who’s who, despite wife Kimberly’s efforts to dress them in traditional pink and blue.
One’s wearing blue, the other one’s wearing pink. But you’d still be surprised [with] people, because they don’t want tomake a mistake, they go, ‘Oh, that’s the … a girl isn’t it?’

Well, finally some good news from Hollywood. This is an outcome, that is almost tantamount to being a miracle.
I look forward to seeing them as they grow up.

are they going to call thomas boone instead of thomas? i didn’t see dennis refer to either child by name but the title says zoe and boone…
Sarah’s note: Yes, they call him Boone. Dennis has mentioned it previously and it was part of the People cover story after the heparin issues with the twins came out.

It’s very good news to hear that those two little people are doing well. What they went through was very scary, esp at their weight. What little troopers.

My cousin used to get the ‘are they identical’ question ALL THE TIME, even though her twins are CLEARLY a boy and girl! So funny.
