3 months old!

Our sweet babies are 3 months old today. I told Daddy this morning that some days it feels like they have been a part of our life forever and other days I feel like we were sitting in Sarasota Memorial Hospital Labor and Delivery yesterday.

Mason loves to smile! He is such a happy little man. Some people say he looks like his big brother and some say he looks like Mommy's family. I guess the jury is still out. He started STTN on November 15, 2010. He is still wearing 0-3 months clothes but he probably could move up soon. He is still wearing size one diapers. Although he must think Mommy likes to do laundry because he leaks through his diaper on most nights. He loves to be held and cuddled. He drinks about 25-28oz. of formula a day.

Audrey is such a sweet baby princess. She never complains when I dress her in pink, put bows on her head, and make her wear dresses. Most people say that Audrey is a Lowe girl. She looks like her Daddy and her biggest brother. She has been STTN since November 14th. She is an extremely relaxed baby and is pretty much happy all the time. She does not like to be on her belly. Her neck isn't quite as strong as her brother's, so Mommy is working on some serious tummy time. She is still wering 0-3 months clothes and doesn't appear to be growing out of them too quickly. She is also wearing size one diapers. She drinks about 25oz a day. We will not have an official weight check until 4 months.

Giggle, giggle!

Audrey giggled for the first time yesterday. I have had the video camera by my side since but of course she won't perform. As soon as I get a video I will add it to this post. There is nothing sweeter in the world than hearing your baby giggle for the very first time.

Could it be true???!!!!!

These babies have been amazing since the start, either that or their big brother gave me such a run for my money that they seem easy in comparision. Audrey has STTN (slept through the night) for 3 nights now and Mason has for 2 night. I have my fingers, toes, and all other bodies parts crossed that this isn't a fluke. It came in perfect time since I have to go back to work in a little over a week. They have been sleeping in their own cribs for a few weeks now, so no more babies in Mommy and Daddy's room. I am sad and thrilled at the same time.

2 months old!!

The twins turned two months on Sunday! Here they are in all of their cuteness!

Boops latest stats!

We kindly refer to our twins as "The Boops". What in the world you say?? Here is the story: We bought Parker some boy/girl baby dolls when we found out the twins genders. He played with them all the time and called them his "Boops" which I assume is baby. He can now say baby but we still call them "Boops" and he still does the same. If he sees a baby in public or a picture he will say baby. Well enough rambling about that.

The twins had their 8 week well visit today and they are doing very well. Mason weighed in at 9.5lbs and 22 inches, 25% for everything. Audrey weighed in a 8lbs 10oz and 21.5 inches, 10% for weight and about 25% for height. They drink about 4oz every 3-4 hours. They are pretty much growing out of their newborn attire and moving into 3 months. Sleeping could be better but I can't complain. They fall asleep around 8ish then we wake them around 10-11pm for a "midnight snack" then they sleep until 3-4am, and finally up for the day at 7am-ish. Mason smiles all the time and Audrey does sometimes, too. They did great with their shots, only cried during the actual shot. I can't believe they are 8 weeks old.

Big boy bed

We really wanted to transition Parker into a big boy bed before the twins were born. We bought him this really nice twin bed and mattress that "matched" the cribs for the twins. After all of our hard work he wanted no part of the bed. We gave up with the twins birth quickly approaching and the fact that keeping him in the crib was just easier on us. We went to a friend's birthday party a few weeks ago and saw that he had a super cool fire truck bed. Daddy and Mommy went on the CL hunt to find something for our little man. We couldn't decide between a fire truck, a yellow VW bug, or a Thomas the Train. We found a family selling both a Thomas and a fire truck, so we decided to buy both and let him pick. Daddy tried to get him to pick at the home of the CL seller but he acted too shy.

Parker decided on the fire truck. On Saturday, October 9th we did our normal bedtime routine (well a little later than normal because our friend, Avery, came over to play) I shut the door, placed a gate (in case of an escape) in the doorway, grabbed the video monitor, and ran downstairs. I never heard a peep and he was fast asleep. I thought for sure it was fluke. He actually slept all night without a peep. The next day it was naptime, once again I was worried he would escape and not sleep. Slept 3 hours!!!! Night #2 was a breeze too. Could this be too good to be true????

Squeeeeeeee!

The twins had their newborn shoot with Jennifer Mauren when they were almost 3 weeks old. I can hardly contain my excitement about these pictures. I could stare at the slideshow all day. I hope you enjoy it just a fraction of how much I do. I guess I have officially turned into one of "those" Moms. Ugh!!??? I guess I am okay with that.
