3 months!

The E's are 3 months old! How crazy is that?! They are doing lots of things, like learning how to "talk" and play on their tummy's. I have just a few seconds before Evan is in all out panic mode, so I will post a few photos.

The last month or so

Many events have happened over the last month or so. Everything from the kids really starting to react to people around them (Evan is such a flirt!) to more health things (these kids are Wells' after all). I have tried to capture at least one photo a day, mostly it ends up being a lot more though! The kids have also had many first outings...to Petco, Target, a mexican restaurant, mothers group, and Small group to name a few. They also have visited a couple medical specialists...ENT and speech pathologists. (That's right, they are super advanced and already need speech therapy. Not really) Emily needs help latching, she is my lazy eater, or as the books call her she is a "gourmet" and likes to sample her food.

Both have also VERY recently started sleeping for at least one 5 hour stint at night! If they choose to do this at the same time, Ryan and I get to sleep for about 4 of those hours. This is very exciting news for us! Up until this point it had been 3 hour stints if we were lucky, but typically only 2 hours which meant we got 1-1.5 hours of sleep between feeds. I think the 3 month mark is the magical point, or so I've been told.

Both babies are in the double digit for weight. Last time they weighed in Evan was 12 lbs. and Emily was 10.

I have a lot of pictures to post...hope you enjoy!

Evan's such a ham!

A day in the life

As I sit here with Emily and Evan I thought I would share some photos of our day so far. We woke up, went for a walk, slept, and played. Of course we ate too, but no one wants to see that!

Just a video today.  Friday was the first time Evan would smile at what you were doing and we now have video evidence.  You can skip to around the 1:10 mark for faster viewer.

Eyes on the prize

Had a big week.

Emily had a doctors appointment to have her eyes looked at.  The doctor said there appears to be nothing to worry about and they will recheck her in six months.  They informed us that about 20% of the population has pupils that are different sizes.

Evan seems to be doing better and is coughing less after feedings.  We have switched to a soy based formula for their supplements and it has seemed to help both of them.  They are settling into a nice pattern of feeding and sleeping at night.  They still feed about every 3 1/2 hours, but they go to sleep faster and sleeper better in between then they did in the past.  I am still longing for the day when they sleep 8 straight hours.  Jacqueline continues to encourage me to enjoy the stage they are at and no focus on what they aren't doing.  Good advice just hard to hear and put into practice.

A few more pics than normal, including some of their 2 month pictures that J took today.

Dad only allows this because it is U of L Cards and not that other team we don't speak of.

Not ready for my close up, need more sleep
