I thought I could give a little description of what each baby is like at this age.

Emma, Addison

Addison (formerly known as Baby A)

(You can kind of see her new hair coming in.)

• Eats 5-8 ounces at each feeding. Most often eats about 6 ounces each time.
• Eats every 2-3 hours during the day and takes her last bottle around 6:00 PM
• Sleeps 8-11 hours at night before waking up to eat again (11 hours just happened last night!)
• Naps 3-4 times per day, longer morning naps, short naps in afternoon
• Loves to cuddle with mommy, she snuggles her face into my chest. I have no idea how she breathes, but she likes it
• Favorite books: Snuggle Puppy, Touch and Feel Farm Animals and Touch and Feel Pets
• Weight is unknown since we don’t go back to doctor until 3/14/10
• Loves to grab and shake toys
• Learned to roll over today! She only did it once. She looked up at me as if to say, “Hey! Look what I just did!”
• Learning how to laugh, sometimes she shouts and squeals
• Likes to look in mirror
• Loves a bath
• Likes country music and baby lullabies
• Sweetest smile you’ve ever seen, but saves it for when she really means it!
• Lets you know when she is not happy by screaming! May have a slight temper (and when I say “may”, I mean “does”)
• Nicknames: Addi, Addi Bumbo, Peanutbutter or Nutterbutters (her sister is Jelly), Turkey (her sister is Dressing)
• Looks like her daddy
• Has blue eyes, long eyelashes, lost most of newborn hair, more hair coming in (kinda looks like an old man)

Emma (our little Baby B)

Emma on left

• Eats 5-7 ounces at each feeding
• Also eats every 2-3 hours during the day, takes her last bottle around 6
• Sleeps 8-11 hours at night
• Naps 3-4 times per day, same as her sister!
• Very social, loves to see what everyone is doing. When we take her to friends houses she doesn’t want to miss a minute of socializing
• Talks a lot
• Favorite books: Touch and Feel Farm Animals and Pets and I Love to Laugh
• Weight Unknown, but probably a bit less than her sis
• Bats and grabs toys
• Rolls over from stomach to back, and is really close to rolling over back to stomach. Can really support her weight and push up on her arms.
• Likes the dogs
• Whole face lights up when she smiles! She will smile at everyone.
• Also likes to look in the mirror
• Loves a bath and is really starting to use her legs to push off on the walls of the sink during bath time
• Likes music
• Likes to watch TV (Yeah, I know that is frowned upon. But, I have twins. She can watch TV if it keeps her quiet when I am feeding Addi). Not sure if her favorite show is Sportscenter or Oprah

• Looks like Mommy and Daddy
• Also has blue eyes, long eyelashes, lost her newborn hair, new hair coming in sticks up like her dad’s hair

Sister Love: Kisses in the morning

They are so stinkin' cute! I love how they lounge in these chairs.
