Three Months Old!

The twins turned three months old yesterday. I can't believe how fast they're growing! We haven't been to the pediatrician in several weeks, so we tried to estimate their weights by just holding them on the scale with us. Jake is now about 12.5 pounds.Mallory is our dainty little lady at about 11 pounds.

  • We have now moved up to size 1 diapers for both babies. They can still wear some newborn clothes, but have started moving up to 0-3 month sizes.
  • Both kids smile & laugh so much now. It is so fun when they're in good moods & will play with us.
  • Mallory loves to get zerberts on her belly & play peekaboo with a blanket.
  • Jake is our little ham & loves to capture everyone's attention. Even when I'm talking to Mal, he tries to grin & laugh to get my attention back on him.
  • Both kids are very good sleepers. They go at least 6 hours between their bedtime feeding & the next one. We're starting to do 7 hour stretches pretty frequently & have had a handful that are longer than that.
  • We've started using bumbo seats & their exersaucer. They're pretty good at the bumbo seats as long as they're not tired, but they're too small for the exersaucer, so we have to prop them up in it with a blanket.
Here are some random pics we've taken lately. Jake helping Daddy put the exersaucer together. That thing takes 12 batteries!
Ready to go to Ladies' Bible Class
Sitting up is hard work, so Jake had to take a rest.
Sweet kids in their bumbos

Heading to church last week
My mom's co-worker, Jill, gave them these outfits, & I love them! Mal's has ruffles on her hiney! We were heading to story time at the children's library at Northpark. Jake actually had fun watching the lady do motions to the songs & books, but Mal had an attitude that morning, so she just decided to fall asleep.

OH MY GOODNESS....how quick they are growing up. Those 2 are precious. And Jake sleeping in the bumbo is priceless.
I'm glad y'all are getting some rest now!

Cute pictures! I cannot believe they are already 3 months. Tell Justin I feel for him having to put the excersaucer together. I did it one day while Jonathan was at work, and it took me like 3 hours (of course I was trying to entertain Mason too). I was so excited and as soon as I put Mason in it he started crying. Go figure!

They are so adorable! Can't wait to watch these two take in the world with those great big eyes. You amaze me that you are always on the go with them. What a good mommy!
