Update On The Girls: 2 Months Continued

The girls had their 2 month well child check-up today! They are doing very well and we couldn't be more grateful!

Adelyn's Stats:
-Weight: 10 pounds, 4 ounces (5th percentile)
-Height: 21 1/4 inches (25th percentile)
-Head Circumference: 15 inches (25th percentile)

Emery's Stats:
-Weight: 10 pounds, 4 ounces (5th percentile)
-Height: 21 inches (25th percentile)
-Head Circumference: 15 1/4 inches (25th percentile)

Can you believe that the girls still weigh the same? So funny. I guess they do eat the same amount at the same time every day, so it makes sense, but you would think they would be an ounce off or something. :)

At our appointment, they did recommend that we keep the girls out of any kind of childcare for now, including the church nursery, due to their increased risk of RSV. We are sad not to be able to leave them in the nursery and go to Sunday School and church, but happy to do anything for their health. Hopefully they will give us a little more freedom as the girls grow!!!

Update on the Girls: 2 Months

Two months with two babies (plus Benton), and we are all happy and doing more than just surviving!!! :)

Adelyn (sleeping) at 2 Months:

Emery (wide awake) at 2 Months:

Some facts from the girl's second month of life:
-Wearing 0-3 Month clothes. They were in newborn clothes for most of the month, but they moved up in the last week.
-Wearing Size 1 diapers.
-Eating 7 times per day. They take a 4 ounce bottle at all feedings, except their last feeding of the day, when they take a 5 ounce bottle. They were breastfeed for the first part of the month, but we have now switched over to pumped breastmilk, which makes everyone much happier!
-They are sleeping in their crib at night and for all naps. They are still sleeping in the same crib. As of today, they go down for the night at 7:15pm. We do a dreamfeed of sorts at 9:30pm where we give them a bottle, but we try not to wake them. They then wake around 4am on their own, get a bottle, and then are back to bed until we wake them at 7am.
-They are catching on to the eat/play/sleep routine!

Random things we don't want to forget:
-Their little personalities are so different right now. Adelyn is usually wide awake and ready to look around. She checks everything out and is really good about making eye contact. Emery is our chilled out and relaxed baby. She would rather be sleeping, no matter what is going on. :)
-They don't like being in the bouncer or swing. They would prefer to either be held or be on the floor.
-Adelyn seems to be close to rolling over from front to back, but Emery hasn't even tried. Ha!
-They love cuddling. :) Adelyn seems to be okay to sleep by herself in the crib, Emery doesn't. After Adelyn has been out of the crib for a few minutes, Emery starts scooting around the crib looking for Adelyn. If she can't find her, she starts crying. So cute.
-They are purposefully smiling. Double the smiles. :)
-Both girls LOVE watching Benton play, and he loves the audience. It is too funny to watch him entertain them.


Baby girls, we love you!!!

Boomer Sooner, Baby!

Newborn Pictures

We had Adelyn and Emery's newborn pictures taken by the fabulous Abby Coyle (Abby Coyle Photo Artistry, www.abbycoyle.com) when they were one month old. Can you tell that we love Abby?! She has captured our family so well. :)
