Where has the time gone? I can’t believe they are already
three months old! They have learned so much in the past month I don’t even know
where to begin. Riley loves to stand and
will instantly lock her legs when you hold her up so she is standing. Landon is not as big of a fan at standing,
but he loves to be held upright and will instantly smile at you. They both love to smile and “talk” - especially in the mornings. Landon has
made huge progress in holding his head up and has begun to love tummy
time. I put him down yesterday and was
amazed as he instantly lifted his head and propped himself up on his elbows to
look around – won’t be long now and they will be rolling over. They love to follow objects with their eyes
and seem to have recently discovered not only the dogs, but each other. They truly seem to acknowledge the existence
of each other when they are sitting across from each other. When they lay next to each other they
purposefully reach for the other and I have caught them holding hands a few
times. They may have just been on a
mission to get the other’s thumb as they have become thumb suckers over the
last few weeks.
I would estimate that they both weigh around 10.5 pounds,
although it could be more. They recently
went through the 3 month growth spurt and became eating machines for a few
days. Riley has had a lot of tummy
trouble and it seemed to get a lot worse about a week ago. I called the doctor
and she suggested trying soy formula.
Since transitioning to soy, we have seen some improvement in her fussiness
and gas – except for those growth spurt days where the fussiness was a whole
new level! Landon seems to do well with
the regular formula, but has his moments of fussiness – usually just when he is
hungry though. So to add to the
excitement and things to keep track of around the house, we now are making two
different kinds of formula!
The babies are doing really well with daycare. She has them on a regular activity and nap
schedule and they love being able to watch all of the children there. It was rough for me to drop them off for the
first day and I cried most of the way to work.
I think the Hubby and I have become very boring to them on the weekends
after all of the excitement at daycare.
We did take them to the pumpkin patch last weekend. As the Hubby pointed out the trip was more
for me than it was for them, but I am so excited to start family traditions I
just couldn’t wait. They didn’t seem to
mind though.
Nolan was pretty excited to see Landon.:) |
Will and Jack did a little modeling in the field |
We managed to get some three month pictures the other morning, bright and early, as that seems to be when they are the most cooperative.
Holding hands. :) |
Bee hats were a present from "Aunt" Brandy. |
