Okay, so I am a day late, but better late than never! So things around here have been quite busy with our two little ones. They seem to be more interactive every day. Both babies love to smile at us and coo to get our attention. They love their mobiles and playing at night on their activity mat that has lots of cool things for them to look at.
We had our 2 month check up last week (the babies were 10 weeks old) and both babies are catching up on their growth curves wonderfully! Cooper weighed in at 10 lbs 14 oz, which puts him in the 25-50th% for weight (he was 10th% at birth), and he is 23 1/4 inches long (50th%). His reflux is much better on Prevacid and he seems to be catching up to his sister. Isabella, however, still remains the chunkier of the two. She weighed in at 11 lbs 2 oz, which is 50th% for weight (she was 3rd% at birth!), and 22 1/4 inches long (25-50th%). They got 4 immunizations each and while Cooper was quite brave, Isabella turned bright red and cried real tears! : ( I medicated them with Tylenol prophylactically around the clock for 24 hrs and thankfully neither had fever or were even fussier than normal. Yay!
We are beginning to get our routine down now and while they are both pretty fussy in the evenings, usually we have them bathed, fed and in bed by 9:30 or 10:00 p.m. Cooper is a great sleeper and falls asleep right after his feed and we are able to put him right down in his crib with his pacifier. Isabella, on the other hand, fights sleep to the bitter end. We spend lots of time at her bedside trying to soothe her and putting her pacifier back in until she falls asleep. Hopefully, she will be a better sleeper soon! Both babies usually sleep until 3 or 4 a.m. and after their feed Cooper goes right back to sleep, but Isabella sometimes thinks it's playtime. The only way to get her back to sleep is to bring her in our bed, which, of course, then she falls asleep right away! : ( We try not to do it too often, but sometimes after 1-2 hrs of fighting with her we give in, hopefully, this won't come back to bite us in the butt!
On Thursday, we are going to Chicago to spend the weekend with our friends Jeanette, Jeremy and their adorable son Ethan. We are so excited and looking forward to Ethan's 2nd birthday party on Saturday. Jeremy just bought and awesome new camera and is going to take some pictures of us and the babies this weekend, so I promise to post them next week. In the meantime, here are some photos from the past few weeks.
