Four years and three months


Henry and Norah turned three months old on August 6! They are still really small for three-month-olds (they're more like newborns in size, especially Norah), but we are excited to see how much they've grown since they were born. Here are the details of month three:


Henry:

  • Weighed 9 pounds 7 ounces at his last appointment two weeks ago, so he probably weighs more than 10 pounds now
  • No longer fits in most newborn clothes and has graduated to the 0-3 month sizes
  • Still isn't sleeping in his crib, but sleeps really well in his rocker most of the time
  • Loves having his head stroked and will smile and coo a little
  • Has discovered his hands and likes to suck on them if his pacifier isn't handy
  • Likes his carseat now and enjoys looking around and going for rides
  • Has decidedly blue eyes (though they could still change)
  • Loves me to sing to him and stares at me while I sing (which is the most wonderful thing in the world)
  • Holds his head up really well and doesn't like to be burped on my shoulder anymore
  • Has finally developed his lungs more and has the saddest cry when his tummy hurts
  • Is still snuggly as ever (and I soak that up)
  • Has started smiling at us and recognizes our voices


Norah:

  • Weighed 8 pounds 10 ounces two weeks ago, so she probably weighs 9.5 pounds now — and she's a quarter-inch longer than Henry at 21.5 inches
  • Still smacks her lips after eating, but not as often now (so sad)
  • Unfortunately has some baby acne that we can't seem to get rid of (suggestions are welcome!)
  • Has the same loud scream and has learned that when she uses it, she gets picked up and snuggled
  • Is still a great sleeper once she's in a deep sleep and doesn't scoot around in her crib quite as much
  • Loves to lounge in the Boppy and see what's going on
  • Has hazel eyes that will probably turn brown
  • Grew soft, fuzzy hair on top again after it all fell out last month
  • Has a pretty deep soft spot on the top of her head that moves when she breathes
  • Discovered her tongue recently and is always sticking it out
  • Loves snuggling on Daddy's tummy and sometimes on mine
  • Is still skinny and long but is filling out more in her cheeks



Andrew and I also celebrated four years together August 6. It's hard to believe we've already been married that long, but it also feels like we've been together forever (in a good way). We obviously couldn't do much for the day, but we did go out to dinner and left the twins with Grandma for a couple hours.

I hope you've all had a nice summer! Blogging (and reading blogs) has been falling off my to-do list with two babies to take care of, but I'm hoping to post more regularly soon and catch up on what you've been doing, too. :)

  3. What a cute update Lindsay and congrats to the twins on 3 months and you and your hubby for 4 years. I can see how the time would really fly by and it's nice you were able to get out for dinner together. Your family pic is adorable!
