3 Months

Evan & Aidan: 1 month old
Evan & Aidan: 2 months old
Evan & Aidan: 3 months old
The boys are three months old today! I don't think they look very different than the two month photo. In some ways it feels like we just started this journey and in some ways like it feels like it's been forever. Other twin parents swear it gets easier around around the three month mark. I sure hope they are right!

Evan had a doctor appointment today for his reflux and he is weighing in at 13 lbs 7 oz (53rd percentile). Despite his difficulty eating, he is staying right on track with his growth. We are getting a different kind of medication on Wednesday, so hopefully he'll start enjoying eating more. Evan is holding his head up well and has been enjoying upright entertainment such as the exersauser. When he isn't cranky with his eating, he's got a face full of smiles.

Today Aidan weighed in at 16 lbs 4 oz (about the 90th percentile). He loves to eat and sometimes takes 7 ounces at a time (compared to Evan's max of 4). Aidan is generally a content little guy. He's started to drool quite a bit, which is an early sign of teething. Hopefully he's got a couple more months before anything actually pops through. He is also getting stronger and learning to enjoy his toys more.

Big sister Katelynn is still a little jealous of losing mommy and daddy's undivided attention, but she sure loves being photographed with her brothers!

Easter Bunny

Yesterday when we saw the Easter Bunny in the mall, Katelynn was all excited to get her picture taken with him. Today after getting all dressed up, not so much. So we went with the family photo...
Tucker, the bunny, and I look the same, but our family sure has changed in the past year.

The Cousins

We spent a week in Montana in March. Of course Aunt Anna got all the kids matching outfits to attempt a photo shoot. Unfortunately Evan and Aidan were sleeping for this one on St. Patrick's Day.
Ivey, Tithen, Alivia, and Katelynn
Attempt number 2 a few days later when both boys were awake: Evan (2.5 months), Katelynn (2 years), Tithen (3.5 years), Aidan (2.5 months), Alivia (14 months), and Ivey (20 months).

27 Months

It's getting harder and harder to get a monthly picture of miss Kate. She insisted that blankie be in the photo with her this time. This past month Katelynn got two of her two-year molars and learned to climb out of her crib. Other than that, not much is new. She continues to love music, movies, mac n cheese, pears, the park, and being the center of attention. :)

2 Month Check Up

The boys had their 2-month check up today. They are doing fabulous! Evan got some zantac for his reflux and Aidan's umbilical hernia should go away within the year. Getting shots with two-month-olds is way less traumatic then getting shots with a 2-year-old who says "No shots, no shots" for the entire doctor visit. Here are the stats for the boys:

Evan

Weight: 12 lb 2.5 oz (57th percentile)
Length: 23 inches (48th percentile)
Head: 16.2 inches (76th percentile)

Aidan

Weight: 13 lb 1 oz (77th percentile)
Length: 22.25 inches (20th percentile)
Head: 15.75 inches (46th percentile)

And for comparison, Katelynn at 2 month:
Weight: 9 lb 7 oz
Length: 22.5 inches
Head: 15 inches
