2 Months Old?

Since there is no February 29th this year, I decided to call today the boys' two-month birthday. This month's photo shoot was much more successful than lasts!

Evan Tyler & Aidan James: 2 Months
Remember the 1 Month Photo...
With their big sister and her awesome bedhead!
They've both changed so much. In the past month, they've started smiling and cooing. We've got the Eat-Awake-Sleep cycle down pretty good. Feedings are every 2.5-3 hrs in the day, and usually 3-4 hours at night. Sometimes we are lucky and get a 5 hour stretch at night. Infants are hard work, but I'm happy to be the mother of three.

Evan is about 12 pounds. He can lift his head up well when on his belly and hold it pretty steady when upright. He's also rolled over a couple times from front to back. He eats about 27 ounces a day, but has started to fuss a lot during feedings. We are going to talk about trying some reflux meds at their appointment on Wednesday.

Aidan is about 12.5 pounds. He is easy to feed and eats about 34 ounces a day, which explains why he now weighs more than his brother! Aidan is not quite as strong, but he's been holding his head up nicely during tummy time the last few days. Aidan also has an umbilical hernia (google a picture if you've never heard of it). It should go away on its own, but we'll have it checked out at their next appointment.

Katelynn's Window

Katelynn asked to put on the "princess" dress one of Jen's co-workers bought her. Then she asked to color with her markers. She proceeded to color herself pink. I then bribed her with stickers and M&Ms to sit in the window where there was actually some light so I could document her today.

26 Month Old Punk

Katelynn was not too excited to get her picture taken on Sunday for her 26 month b-day. Apparently she is growing tired of this monthly routine!

Take 1: In a cute dress courtesy of her friend Wren.
No, I will not look at the camera!
All you get is my rear end.
Whack! Get that camera away from me.
Take 2: Before bedtime, new outfit because
the other one got soaked at dinner.
You think I'm going to sit still for you?
Or sit where you want you me to?
Ok. Out comes the bribe. "Katelynn do you want an m&m?"
(This is the best shot we could get.)
Better follow through with that promise, mama!
(Note the green candy in her mouth and hand.)
Needless to say, 26 months has brought on a new fiercely independent streak.

Getting ready to go on a walk on a chilly February day. The newborn sized outfits won't fit much longer!
