12 weeks

 hello boys!! happy 12th week of your life!!! This week was full of naps, bottles, cuddling and trying to get Charlie healed from his surgery. I'm so happy to report that Charlie is doing great!!! His 2 incisions have healed and he is just about back to his normal self. Charlie in all the spoiling you got with your hernia you have decided you like to be held.... allllll.... theeeeee.... time!!!!! If we don't hold you when you want to be held you cry... turn red and have tears streaming down your little cute face!!! We are working to ease you out of that bad habit because I only have 2 arms ... that brings me to who takes care of you boys... during the day your jodee who is your dads mom takes care of you guys. She is the BEST!!! she dotes on you boys and loves on you boys and you are very lucky to have her!!!! On your daddys days off he takes care of you, which is a lot to ask of him since he works so hard but he loves taking care of you guys and then I take care of you guys in the evenings nights and weekends. Its working out great and as I type this im coming off 7 straight hours of sleep... daddy took night duty last night and let me sleep!!!! That was the longest I have slept straight since you guys have gotten here and I feel like a million bucks....!!! Some nights you guys sleep 4-5 hours and then every now and then you guys go wild and want to eat every 2 hours.... that's not very much fun for mommy!!! but your growing boys and I know your just hungry and this too shall pass and you will be sleeping straight through the night!!

 

Connor you have had a major growth spurt and you are MUCH heavier than your brother. You are very ticklish and harder to get to smile than Charlie but we manage to get a grin out of you every now and then ... you are now wearing size 3 month outfits!!! We have to have your clothes a little baggy because the cloth diapers are pretty big. If you are wearing a regular diaper you fit into 0-3 months just perfect... You are eating 4oz anywhere from every 2 hours to 4 hours... Your head is still odd shaped due to the fact that you love to look to the right... we are working on this every day all day... its slowing getting better and I know like the doctor said when you start sitting up it will work its self out. When you sit in our laps you have very good control of your head and love to look around. You are a happy baby and we just love you so much!!!!

 

Charlie you are smaller than your brother but we are blaming that dang hernia... but you are gonna catch up fast I just know it!!! Last night you drank 4oz!!! that's big buddy!!! you still fit in newborn outfits. You love the mornings and we get the biggest smiles out of you in the mornings. You love to be held and sit in our laps and look around. You have insanely great control of your head and its just so cute to see your little head bobbin around. Your a happy baby that knows what he wants!!! And we just cant get enough of your sweetness!!!

 

You are both cooing so much and its the sweetest sound there ever was!!!!

 

Life is just getting better and better with you boys!!! We are so blessed you are ours we couldn't ask for anything more!!!
