The babies are turning 16 weeks old this week, and it is hard to believe. In a way, it seems like it has been an eternity, but in another sense, it seems like it has gone by fast. They are changing so much every week.
They are smiling and cooing more and more. We are beginning to have conversations with them now. I coo, they coo, I coo they coo... Up until a few days ago, they would just coo randomly; now they coo after I do. It is so cute!
They are starting to sit in their bumbos now. I can't believe they are already at this stage. Granted, they haven't mastered it yet, but they are getting there. We are also working on getting them to start grabbing and holding little toys.
They are becoming so much more alert and aware of their surroundings. They are almost too curious sometimes! This past week has been pretty rough because when I feed them by myself, it is hard to control their heads and keep them still long enough to eat. They are constantly moving them side to side to look around. I am glad that they are becoming so alert, but I would rather them eat first, then play! :) Tell me, Mommies... have you had this problem? If so, how do you get them to eat?
The girls are still not eating enough and seem to be stuck at waking us up at 5am or so and don't want to eat at 8am. I think Tyler might be ready to sleep through the night, but the girls wake us up every night. We are SO ready for a good nights sleep.
Tyler weighs roughly 11 or 12 pounds. He is such a happy boy. He smiles and coos all the time. Sometimes I can't hardly get him to finish his bottle because he wants to smile and smile at whoever is feeding him. He loves his bouncer, swing and being upright looking around and he loves to kick his feet. He hates baths and tummy time!
Whitney weighs about 10 pounds, but feels much lighter than a pound or two less than Tyler. She is so little. You would think she is starving herself with the amount she eats on a daily basis. She smiles some, and I haven't heard her cooing yet. She likes to lock her legs and stand up in your lap - my guess is she will be walking first. She loves her bouncer, swing and being upright. She also loves to stare at lights and the ceiling fan. She doesn't like tummy time either....go figure. Whitney is a little grumpy sometimes - she is our little diva!
Hannah weighs about the same as Whitney...maybe a little more. She is around 10 pounds. She is smiling and cooing so much more. When she coos, it is so cute because she will coo with a little milk left over in the back of her throat and it makes a gurgling sound. Hannah pretty much loves everything except reflux. She loves tummy time, and everything her siblings love. She is still having problems with reflux and that is about the only time she cries. She is such an easy going baby. Oh... and she loves to sleep! Baths don't phase her; if she loses her paci or spits up, you wouldn't know it because she doesn't usually fuss.

Hannah sleeping like a log...as usual. She didn't want to get up to eat. That girl can sleep through anything.
Sweet Hannah has found her hand and loves to suck her hand and fingers. She goes to town! So cute!
We are getting out more which is hard but worth it to me. The kids are getting more used to their car seats and don't scream and cry as much.
If anybody has any suggestions to help them eat better without being so distracted and to sleep through the night, let me know.
I planned to put some more pictures on here for you to see but every time I try to upload them, my whole computer locks up, so these two of Hannah are it for now. I'll try again later.
