The newborn
phase is so sweet… all babies just want to be fed, loved, and held. We are
enjoying this time and we know that soon our babies will be crawling and won’t want to be held as much. Our twins are becoming more active,
not sitting up, but rolling around on floor and trying to get out of their
bouncy seats and swing. They are louder than ever as they love to squeal,
scream, grunt, coo, and blow bubbles. They’re trying hard to be part of our
conversations. Teething is also in its early stages as C & B have lots of
saliva and will try to chew on anything… including each other and their feet.
Just when I was about to give up on nursing Bria, she has been doing better… so
I am still alternating nursing one baby and bottle feeding the other. I still do a lot of sitting these days with the feedings and change tons of diaper changes.
Developmentally,
C & B have been moving through the stages together. But, they’re fraternal
twins in every sense. Caleb has brown eyes and brown fuzz for hair and is our
happy camper. He smiles at us constantly and gets excited when he gets a smile
in return. He is slightly longer and heavier. Bria has deep blue eyes and
blondish fuzz for hair and she is our talker and snuggler... and she is also
known for her loud cry and screams when she is unhappy. J
I caught Bria putting her arm around Caleb
Big brother
Tyson enjoys C & B. There were times when he really favored Caleb and I was
a little worried, but he’s really taken to Bria. When she cries, he’ll rub her
belly and try to calm her down. Whenever we get ready to leave the house he
makes sure that we’re bringing the twins with us. He really enjoys showing them off at
preschool to his buds… I love it when he tells people about the twins and
offers their full names.
Caleb likes: grabbing
things and rolling around.
Caleb dislikes: watching
Bria being held.
Tender moments: watching
Caleb move around on the floor... somehow, he’s able to inch backwards when on
his tummy.
Bria likes: chewing
on her feet and making sounds- she loves to yell out.
Bria dislikes: bed
time, she’d much rather stay up.
Tender moments:
watching Bria go from screaming to giggling and smiling when she hears the song
“Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”.
