6 Weeks- December 9

 Cambell Ann

Weight: 9lbs 7.5oz. (42%) (December 5th)

Height: 21 inches (27.19%) I'm not sure how accurate this was because when the lay side by side she is not 3/4 inches smaller than him.

Sleeping Patterns: Actually sleep about 2 to 3 hours, wake about an hour and a half or so. They actually went 6 hours one night.

Eating Patterns: Eat every 3 to 4 hours. At night they go for a little longer.  They like to take turns on who gets up first to eat.  Whoever wakes up first the other baby gets woken up because I almost ALWAYS nurse them at the same time!  The only time I don't is if one falls asleep and "acts" done then I let the other one finish.  Nursing twins has been fairly easy for me.  I am not sure if it was because I was so determined or if it is just because they are both great latchers, but whatever the reason we are doing great!  Things do get interesting when I have to burp them at the same time.  I try to burp one at a time, but that doesn't always happen.  Therefore, 9 times out of 10 I end up puked on!  This is one of the MANY things Steve helps with when he is home!  Along with MULTIPLE other things!  I truly could NOT do it without him!  He gets up EVERY night, changes both diapers, and burps them.  

New foods I liked: Mommy's Milk...it's the BEST

Clothing Size:  0 - 3 month and 3 months

Diapers: size 1

Likes: Sleep, looking around, eating, my older brothers especially when they talk to me

Dislikes:  tummy time, balls and toys being thrown my way

Things I learned/accomplishments/discoveries: Starting to smile, holding my head up

Places I went: Doctor's office, Ben and Allison's, and church (our first BIG outing as a family without help!)  That's right 6 weeks and we got out of the house!

Baby Babbles: When mom talks to me I am starting to coo, grunts

Other:  Jaundice is getting better, but still noticeable.  Also has baby acne and cradle cap.  Grandma Becky and Grandpa Steve watched us while mommy and daddy went on a date!  We had two 3oz  bottles and did pretty well with them.  We still need to be burped a lot and still grunt until we get out burps all out, which sometimes takes up to an hour!!
Things to look forward to: For our new cousin to arrive, which should be any day.  Christmas!!
