Sleep!

I think it's happening. Everyone please knock on wood. They are getting closer to sleeping through the night. We're down to getting up only once in the night. It might take awhile to get rid of that one, but it's much better than the 3 times per night we used to have! It took a couple of weeks of trying a new schedule with them, and it seems to be working. I go to bed early and take the early morning feedings, and Brent stays up later to do a bottle late night and then can sleep in a bit. I'm so thankful for Brent doing that late feeding...I'm finally sleeping, and feeling like a human again!

They are down to eating 7 times per day, although I think it might move to 6 very soon because they are not seeming as hungry for the next feeding as they used to. Will is now up to 11 lb 8 oz, and Liv is 10 lb 3.5 oz.

Will is starting to spend a few minutes a day in his bumbo seat. Early Intervention said he was big enough to start short sessions to strengthen his neck. Liv still has a little growing to do, but she'll get there!

They are both cooing and smiling just a little more each day. I still feel like a lot of the day is about preventing/calming a fussy baby, but that's getting less and less all the time. It feels like they should be further along by now, but I have to keep reminding myself that even though they are 3.5 months old, they're really just about 5.5 weeks adjusted age.

Marie can handle it all!

First walk of 2010!
