We will start with Kenzie. Kenzie Poo. Chunkalicious. Mama's girl. Big Eyes. Butter. I love her. A lot. She is such a serious baby. It takes some work to get this one to smile. She has the biggest most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. When she looks at you, you just keep staring into her eyes. I have complete faith that she is going to be one of the most intelligent women in the world. She looks at you so deeply. As if she is staring right into your soul.
Kenzie is an incredible sleeper. Still. Yes, I am lucky. I know. She goes to bed around 9 and sleeps till at least 6 am. Yes. I know. After her bottle, she will usually go back to sleep until 9 or 10. She is rolling over from her tummy to her back and today, she rolled the opposite :) She is getting a tooth. It started showing on her 3 month birthday. I was amazed! It hasn't come through all the way yet, but I know it will. She eats very well. Sometimes I am amazed how efficient they can eat now. I remember when they were eating 50 cc's at a time. And it took forever. Now, she can down 6-7 ozs in 10 minutes. And, she never spits up! ahhh, nice! We just moved her up to size 2 diapers. She is a chunk, hence the nickname "Chunkalicious" lol. She is in 3-6 months clothes mostly, but she can still wear some smaller. At her last weight check which was 2 weeks ago, she was up to 12 lbs 4 ozs. I am so impressed! We have their 4 month appt next week and I will update their weights at that time.
Lexie. Lexie Lou. Pukalicious. Miss Smiley Pants. Pretty Baby. Peanut. This one is going to be all girl. I just know it. And a talker (well I guess that is the all girl part :) She is such a happy baby. She will smile at anyone. She rolls from her back to her tummy and gets sooooo mad when she can't roll back over. It is so funny to watch her legs go a hundred miles a minute trying to flip over and she just can't! She loves to sit up (in the bumbo) she loves music. She loves her sisters. We have been trying to figure out her puking issue because she is what our pediatrician calls a "happy puker" I told you, she is a happy baby. But, I wish she would stop throwing up so much because she is quite a bit smaller than Kenzie and I don't know if it is because she throws up so much or if she is just going to be a smaller girl. So, we have been trying different formulas to see what works for her. So far, not much success and she just might have to outgrow it. Her last weight check had her at 11 lbs.
Lex is also an awesome sleeper. I know. Blessed. She goes down at the same time as Kenzie and sleeps the same amount. Yup. I'm serious. Mama Like! And. Did I mention that we put them to bed awake? We feed them, swaddle them and put them to bed. I never hear a peep from Lexie and occasionally, Kenzie will cry for less than 5 minutes then they are both out. zonked. Until the next morning :)
The girls are already proving that they need their space. One day, they were playing on their play mat and Lexie decided "hey sister, that arm is mighty tasty looking, let me have a nibble!" So, she rolled to her side and started sucking on Kenzie's arm. Kenzie didn't approve. She scratched Lex in the face. Lexie cried, scooted herself up just high enough to start kicking Kenz in the head. Can you say "sister rivalry"! So, yeah, I decided to buy another toy! That night, Lexie got herself unswaddled and I went in the room and saw her sucking on Kenzie's face. That was the last night they slept in the same crib. So, onto separate cribs and they took it like champs! First night they woke around 4, but since, they are back to normal! It was time!
I love to sit them in their bumbos facing each other. They are hilarious. They babble. Look at each other. Play footsie. So cute. Can't wait for more interaction like this!
So, all in all. Having twins is amazing. I really love it. I wasn't sure how I would cope. But, I am being honest when I say I wouldn't trade it for anything. It is a complete blessing that we brought these 3 people into the world and I love watching them grow and change everyday.
