They are both giggling like crazy this month. They love to play peek a boo and being tickled. They like to be a part of the action and not in another room if there is something going on. They still both sleep really great (although the last week they have been getting up at 4:00am hungry; I think they are going through a growth spurt). They feed 6 times a day for 10-15 minutes. I think they are getting about 4-5 ounces a feeding as that is what they eat when we give them a bottle. They take bottles every week at church so I don't have to nurse them. We also top them off with a few ounces of breastmilk pumped in the morning before they go to bed at night.
They both still like to be swaddled but are become escape artists and wiggle their arms out. They go to sleep on their own great. All we do is swaddle them up and stick the binky in. We've had a few people come help babysit while I went to appointments and shopping and they can't believe how easy they are.
Here are the stats from their appointment:
Chapman:
length: 23" (5%)
Weight: 11lbs 10 oz (5%)
Head: 16.5" (38%)
Super cuddly little guy. The young women in our ward fight over who will hold Chap because he is so much easier to hold being smaller and cuddly. He hates his tummy and loves the bumbo. One side of the back of his head is getting a little bit flat, so we are trying to position him on the other side while he sleeps.
Tennyson:
length: 24" (16%)
Weight: 13lbs 3 oz (13%)
Head: 16.25" (23%)
Still a super stiff baby. We call him "the brick" because that's what it feels like when you hold him. He loves to stand on his feet and gets really excited. He likes being on his tummy but does not like sitting in the bumbo. I think he doesn't like being folded in half for too long. Still battling craddle cap but hopefully it will go away soon with the vaginal cream we are putting on it :)
