On the other side

It has been a long couple of weeks. The children had colds, which turned into ear infections. So we are now on antibiotics - their first medication (besides Zantac). When we finish that, we'll have their four month checkup! Wow - time goes so fast. One night, the babies slept til 5:45. It was a dream. Unfortunately, it hasn't happened again - but there is always hope!

They have really grown over the last few weeks. They all coo and smile. They love to watch the mobiles and lying on the activity mats. Each have their distinct interests. Daniel LOVES the mobile, while Emily LOVES the mirror. She'll talk to the mirror for up to an hour. She smiles and coos. I guess she wants another girl around. I'm holding Nathan right now. He loves to get up before the others an hang out with me one-on-one. He also cannot get enough food. Since he surpassed his brother, he is on a race with himself. He stares at things with such intensity that he looks so serious. Then he gives a big grin.

We've been using the can of formula with rice starch, but we're switching to the rice cereal in regular formula today, so it will be interesting to see how they enjoy that. I can't believe we are already at rice. How do they grow up so fast! I need to take more pictures. I got a great video of Emily talking to herself yesterday but I can't put that up. I'll put up more pictures next week for their 4 months.

3 months

The babies are officially 3 months old tomorrow (2/7). We can't believe it! How does time fly so quickly. Each and every day the children seem so different. There are always the trends - Daniel wakes up first, no matter how far apart we put them in the crib they end up touching, and they love being held. But they do smile a little more now. They are beginning to love the changing table as they know food is next. They all can roll from their tummies to their backs, not intentionally, but they all do it. Daniel has his wettest burps when the burp cloth is not touching him. They seem to grow every day. They all focus more on people and objects, especially Daniel. They all can turn their heads towards something. They are also making noises and coos. They also haven't had any low heartrates on the monitor lateley. I think I saved the best for last!

Veroniuq has been fabulous. She really loves the children and has fit in to our home very well. We really want her to feel a part of the family. I will admit that I was offended when the guys at Best Buy talked to me like I was her MOTHER....I am definitely NOT old enough for that.

I hope you like the pictures. In the group picture, they children in order are Nathan, Emily, and Daniel. Individually, they are Daniel, Nathan, and Emily. I do have some good smiling pictures, but they were at a weird angle.
