3 Months Old!

I can't believe my babies are already 3 months! They are getting so big and this month we have hit so many milestones. They aren't my tiny newborns anymore! But they are growing into such great personalities and are so fun to have around. We can't imagine life without them!

We had their 3 month appointment on Friday and they did great!

Weights and Lengths: Declan weighed 10 pounds 12 ounces and was 23 inches long! Owen weighed 10 pounds 15 ounces and was 23 inches long! And Evelyn weighed 10 pounds 11 ounces and was 22.5 inches long!

Eating: Still eating for 30 minutes every 3 hours during the day sometimes with little snacks in between. At night they go one 6 hour stretch between feeds.

Sleep: They go down for the night around 9:30 or 10 pm and sleep until 4 am or so! We do one feed then and they are down until 7:30 am or so. We have started to do a real nap schedule since we are slowly transitioning to the cribs. Right now they are taking 3 big 2ish hour naps in the same crib in the nursery. They are then awake for most of the time with a few snoozes in between.

Clothes Sizes: They are completely out of newborn sizes and are into mainly 3 months and some 0-3.

Diaper Size: A few brands of newborn size still fit (swaddlebees, tots bots) but we are transitioning to our one size and size small diapers.

Favorite Diapers: The nb simplexes are still going strong and the bottom bumpers are great for this stage since the one sizes are still bulky.

Least Favorite Diapers: Definitely Fuzzibunz but besides that everything's great.

Favorite Things: Being held, bath time, going outside and to the park to watch everything, talking.

Least Favorite Things: Waiting for anything. We will need to work on patience :)

Milestones: They are all smiling and giggling, grasping things and reaching, and they all have rolled over in this last week!

2 Months Old!

Well this is a very late post as they are almost 3 months! But better late than never :) We had the babies 2 month check up after we got back so they were actually 9 weeks old.

They are doing very well and are not really showing any signs of being early!

Weights and Lengths: Declan weighed 8 pounds 14 ounces and was 21 inches long! Owen weighed 9 pounds even and was 21 inches long! And Evelyn weighed 8 pounds 12 ounces and was 20.75 inches long!

Eating: They are all still eating for about 30 minutes and about every 3 hours during the day. But they have one really long feed right before bed and then only eat one more time at night!

Sleep: At night they sleep from 10pm or so until 3:30 or 4am! It is so awesome. During the day they still take cat naps throughout but they take 2 longer naps too. Usually from 9-11, and 1-3. We usually but them in their pack and play or cribs for these so we can get them used to a nap schedule for when they sleep less.

Clothes Sizes: They still fit some newborn but are in mostly 0-3 and a couple 3 months size as well. 

Diaper Size: They still fit most of their newborn size but the problem is absorbency  So we have put some away and moved into a few of our sized and one-size!

Favorite Diapers: We still love our nb simplex and tots bots and are loving our bottom bumpers as well!

Least Favorite Diapers: Still dont like fuzzibunz and have outgrown the nb bumgenius. The kissaluv newborns fit better now but we still dont like them as much. Other than that we like the rest of our stash!

Favorite Things: Play time, bath time, being held, laughing at daddy, going to the park for walks and watching the older kids. They also loved being with all their cousins!

Least Favorite Things: They hate waiting to be fed and held but other than that they are pretty happy! They also get fussy around 5-7 pm but not from anything in particular, just being tired.

Milestones: They are really recognizing our voices, grabbing things (hair, siblings faces, fingers etc.), and they all are smiling! Evelyn smiled first right at 8 weeks and then Owen followed the next day, Declan had half grins for a while but his first real big smile was at almost 9 weeks. They also are getting very good at lifting their heads and actually enjoy tummy time!

Pictures: I need to go back through all the pictures we have taken this month to find some from right around 2 months but I just keep putting it off and not having time. So i will update this post with those later... I really wanted to get the post done before 3 months!

I'm back

Sorry I havent posted in a while! Life has gotten in the way. We had an amazing vacation and the babies had so much fun. I knew I wouldn't post much, if at all while we were away since there isn't a lot of internet and we were very busy. But I ended up not even opening my laptop and it was such a nice getaway!

We got home after labor day weekend and I was going to get back on but unfortunately Patrick's brother in law got very sick and was in the hospital for almost 2 weeks. It was a pretty scary time and we were helping to take care of their son while Patrick's sister was there with him. So we were very busy with family and work. Thankfully everything is ok now and he is recovering.

The babies are thriving and are 2 and a half months! I do have a few posts almost dont that I need to finish up and post, so those will be coming soon! Hopefully now things will settle down a bit and I will post more frequently!
