3 MONTHS!!!!

"Brother, you can always lean on me."

I think we've hit a turning point!  So much is happening everyday so fast if I blink I may miss it.  Here's what's been happening...

Cannon is just over 12 lbs and Cooper is just over 9.  They've both been eating between 17-24 ounces of formula a day. I have one more freezer bag of breast milk stored, not sure what I'm waiting for.   Both boys are smiling and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get a laugh out of Cannon any day now.  I can tell they know who I am now and that's a really good feeling.  Mark and I can both get them to smile (most of the time-this photo shoot was another story).  They're holding up their heads really well so I broke these seats out.

Both boys are cooing and ahhing.  Cannon's head is really flat so I'm working on getting him off his back, but he LOVES to lay flat on his back.  They're responding to my looks and my voice (no head turning to look for it) but they respond with their facial expressions and as small as that seems, it's HUGE to me.  (I'm sure you moms know what I'm talking about)  I'm really starting to love what I do and the stress of the 'new mommy' stuff is going away (kinda).  These small milestones are making me really excited to see what's next.  Still no sleeping through the night but that's okay because mark and I started working the nights in shifts.  He helps out a TON when he gets home from work, I go to bed around 9:00ish he cleans up from dinner and bottles and takes care of the boys from 9:00 pm - 1:00 am.  I then take the 1:00 am - 5:00 am shift.  We both end up feeding both boys once within each shift.

I try to give the boys tummy time during the day to work on their head strength and to get them off their backs.  Cooper loves him tummy.  He's gonna be a tummy sleeper.  Cannon, not so much. 

Cannon is swatting at things - I'm just not sure it's on purpose. the blanket that Cannon is laying on is from his cousin Genevieve, she made it for him.

Even though it may not look like it here, the boys are diggin bath time.  It's becoming part of our bedtime routine, well I hope it is...I need Mark to help.  :)

So things are getting better, not that they were bad.  I just see a light...a this is going to be fun light.

"Mom!!! Cannon elbowed me!!"
