Three Months


Our twins turned three months old yesterday! Time is just flying by so fast with these little guys. Both babies are still in 0-3 month clothes, but I don't think they will be for very long. We have not had a weight check recently, but they are getting chubbier by the day. Here is what Jacob and Julia are up to at 3 months:

Jacob:


* Jacob is slowly becoming a better sleeper at night. He is now waking just once a night to eat. Sometimes he will awake and have trouble getting back to sleep, but we think that is from his reflux. He is still taking zantac and we think it is helping him.
* Jacob can roll over from front to back and back to front. If we turn our heads for a few seconds while he is in the swing, we will come back to find him flipped on his belly with his face in the swing. He actually seems to enjoy laying that way and has fallen asleep for naps like that.
* Jacob started to smile this month. He smiles a ton in his sleep. He must be having some really great dreams!

Julia:



* Julia is such a happy baby. She loves to smile and has recently become a lot more vocal. She is very laid back and rarely cries.
* Julia can almost make it through the night without waking. She goes to bed around 7 and wakes around 4 to eat. She enjoys her nightime sleep however during the day she is not a fan of napping and will sit and enjoy the scenery.
* Julia is starting to grab and hold on to toys now. She has a pretty good little grip! Lily loves to play with the rings and keys with Julia during playtime.

Here are a few other pictures of the kids from the last week.

I love the look on Julia's face here!


He loves to lay on his belly.


Lily was so excited about the matching outfits!

Unexpected Maryland Trip

We will miss you Gramma Kapust!
Last week we took an unplanned trip to Maryland. Christina's grandmother passed away suddenly on New Years Eve morning. It was very upsetting news since we were not expecting it at all. We were hoping to take a trip to back east in the spring so she could meet the twins. Although traveling with three kids under 2 would be extremely difficult, we really wanted to make it back home to be with family and to attend the funeral. We managed to book plane tickets home the next day and sucessfully made it through the airport and layer with all three kids. Our only problem of the trip was not having our luggage for two days (due to the airline not us). The kids all did a wonderful job on the flights and at the viewing/funeral. It was long few days for all us and we were amazed at how well they all did.
