Twins-3 Months Old

Wow, a fourth of their first year is already over!  Things are really starting to become fun-

Lauren:  You are quite the smiler and have the cutest little closed-mouth grin that shows off your dimples.  You are also starting to coo and talk a lot more.  Your head continues to be on a swivel-you doesn't want to miss a thing.  Because of this, you are sometimes a cat napper during the day.  However, no matter how much or how little sleep you gets during the day, you are almost always in a good mood.  You continue to sleep well during the night-maybe waking up once between 2-3AM, although you have slept 10-11 hours at night before.  You remain our little peanut and don't seem to be gaining weight as quickly as Caleb.  Your acid reflux has acted up a couple times so I have had to increase your meds to help with the symptoms.  You continue to eat 4 ounces every 3-4 hours during the day, and have hardly had any formula your entire life! 

Caleb:  You love to give smiles and talk during the 3AM feeding!  You like to eat and sometimes don't like to wait the 3 hours to have your next meal, especially in the evening.  You are eating anywhere from 4-6 oz every 3-4 hour and has had 7 ounces before.  It is obvious you are gaining weight quickly and you will probably be my Michelin  Baby :).  I can't wait!  You are becoming more observant and your head control is much better now.  You can sit in the Bumbo seat for 10-15 minutes without difficulty. 

Lauren seems the closest to rolling over, but neither twin loves tummy time.  They do continues to love their baths and being read to.  They are not great car riders and often cry in their carseats.   

Alena:  You continue to be such a great big sister.  Now that they are more interactive you love talking to them and trying to calm them down when they are upset.  The twins LOVE smiling at you and watching you.  You are definitely their biggest fan-I know you will continue to entertain them as they get older, which will be SO helpful for mom and dad.  I love how you call Caleb "Buddy" and Lauren "Sister" or "Little Girl."  One evening, we put the babies to bed before you so that we could spend a little time alone with you.  But you weren't really happy that the babies were not downstairs with us and wanted us to get them...you love them so much!
