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.

They are getting so big. It is amazing how fast they are growing. Glad to hear they are doing well! Can't wait to see you all again in June!
