2+ Month Report

The last time we talked, we were exchanging the breast pump for formula...and the transition has been smoother than expected. (Except the formula poop smells 100 times worse than breast milk poop) The babies recently had their 2 month appointment. 2 months was a big step for the babies, they both eclipsed the 10 pound mark, Tyler weighing in at a chunky 10 lbs 6 oz, and Addison at a healthy 10 lbs 2 oz.

I honestly can't believe they have been here for over two months now. Just to give you an idea, 2 months consists of an estimated 996 feedings, 1,240 diaper changes, 3,720 wipes, and about 20 hours of total sleep.

The babies are changing so much everyday, Tyler is 100% addicted to smiling and does it often, and his biggest smiles come when he is doing a number 2.(Just like daddy) Tyler has yet to master the art of sleeping through the night, and is an eating machine. He eats every 3 hours, on the hour, without fail. This quality places him last in our nightly baby draft*.

Addison, is getting more beautiful every day. She smiles some, but is really good at sleeping through the night. She can go 6 + hours at night, which places her on the very top of both of our draft boards.

Both babies are sitting up in there Bumbos(not to be confused with a binky or a boppy), and really getting good at holding their heads up. Tyler has a little more difficulty with this because of his large cranium. His head is in the 84th percentile, compared to his weight in the 12th percentile. The kids got a big noggin. They have really gotten good at focusing on things around them. Addison really focuses on The Rangers and Mavs when they are on TV, Tyler focuses on himself in the mirror(Just like daddy), and his bumble bees on the top of his swing.

*Baby draft- Each night, we divide babies and conquer feedings/cryings. Since, Addison is content sleeping through the night we decided waking her every 3 hours wasn't the best way to keep doing this. Tyler eats a lot, and we don't want to discourage that, so when he's hungry we feed him. Each night Caroline and I alternate draft picks, 1st pick always get Addison, and typically gets a solid 6 straight hours of almost uninterrupted sleep. 2nd pick gets Tyler, and is guaranteed less sleep, at least one outfit change, and a 2:00 a.m. feeding. One day, Tyler will sleep through the night, but he's shown no signs of slowing down yet...
