3 Months Old!

Juliana and Olivia have turned 3 months! What a wonderful milestone they have already accomplished. They both are starting to become more verbal and moving their little arms and legs all over the place. This makes feedings really interesting as they want to touch everything. I quickly found out that I had to cut their nails as they would scratch our chests and that was NOT fun. We invested in the little hand mitts. These are wonderful. They are great for protecting our skin and their faces.

Juliana has learned to roll from tummy to back and is currently working on rolling from back to tummy. She still needs a little assistance, although a full diaper will weight her down making it a little harder to roll.

Olivia has not rolled yet. We are working on this everyday with a little tummy time.

The girls have found a new interest...their tongue. They have recently started licking the air and anything that comes in contact with their mouth. We have also enjoyed seeing them smile. Anytime they are content we can get them to smile just by talking to them. For the most part, they are happy babies.

We still face a few challenges. Their reflux continues to be an issue. Speaking of which, I actually had to get up away from typing this blog to help Mike clean up Olivia from a river full of throw up. I took her into her nursery and striped her down, started a bath and got her cozy warm and smelling fresh again. They are still taking medication for that.

Another challenge would be their sleeping at night. We read that breastfed babies usually wake up to feed once in the night between 3-4 months. That is where we are. It is not that bad waking once, but we would love to sleep through the night sometime soon. I am sure it will happen eventually, we just need to be patient.

Our last major challenge would be travel. Since these girls are not on a strict schedule, it has been hard being able to go into town or traveling long distances. We hope this will get better as they get older. We have had instances where I had to get in the back seat and feed them. For those who have twins or two children in car seats...there is only so much room in the back seat. Not fun when trying to feed.

Overall, these three months have been a true blessing despite our challenges. Mike and I have loved seeing these little ones grow and become sweet angels.
