Sweet little Patrick is my chubbster baby. He weighs in at a whopping 13 pounds right now! He really does do fat well though. He's the cutest little rolly thing you've ever seen. He still snorts when he's hungry. His cry is still softer than his brother's. But it does it go from 0 to 100 very quickly if he doesn't get attention. Still looks like he's my blue-eyed boy. In the last two weeks he's become very aware. He loves to look you in the eyes with this loving stare. He stares at the mobile spinning around on the swing. She absolutely loves to be held and cuddled. He'll sleep for hours laying face down on my chest. At night he still wakes every three hours because he's a little hungry boy.
Little Jamie boy is my scrawny strong little man. He actually rolled over from his belly to his back already! He still has more belly issues the Patch and often looks quite pained. When he is not uncomfortable and right writhing, he has the cutest little face. With big eyes, an adorable upturned nose and a little pointy chin, I think he'll be a heartbreaker someday. He seems to be about two weeks behind Patrick developmentally. He still going through his baby acne phase. Just in the last few days he started to be more aware. Yesterday, while having his butt changed, he lovingly looked at my mom and gave her a big smile. During a bath a couple weeks ago I had been rubbing the dead skin off top of his head (you know how babies peel) and after while I was drying his hair I realized I had rubbed off his baby hair as well as the dead skin. Mom fail-- I made my baby look like a little old man with the toilet bowl hairstyle. He is finally starting to grow some fuzz in again on the top of his head. Jamie tips the scale at 10.5 pounds. Shocking that just 6 weeks ago we were fighting to stay at 4 pounds. My boys have truly amazed me. They are thriving beyond belief.
Aria loves her brothers. She loves to hold them. She pokes at them. When they cry she tries to comfort them. She finds their pacis and puts them in their mouths. She also has lately started rubbing their belly cottons when they are upset. It's so cute that she is sharing her special comfort action with them.
The boys are mainly getting breast-milk while supplementing with formula at night. I recently got a new kind of formula that's for sensitive gassy babies. It seems to digest better for sure. I have also cut out milk and dairy from my diet (I'm only on day two) but I'm hoping that helps them with their tummy problems.
Just yesterday I finally ordered the twins birth announcement. I figured 2 months old was better than no doing it at all, an idea I had toyed with. Hopefully the picture will print out nicely as that is really the designs main feature. Here's a sneak peek at the boys announcement.

My cuties have grown SO much since then! It's just crazy.
Here's the photo for the back. It's of all three of my kids (love saying that) on the 4th of July.
My mom has been coming over to help me a few times a week. It's been really wonderful. TOday she came and scooped up my big girl Aria and took her to the mall. Hopefully she is having a good time.
Until next time, xoxo Rosie
