We're 3 months old!

Better late than never!!!

My little men are just too cute for words. I could stare at them all day, they melt my heart!!!

Alex,

You are still very intense. You love it when people talk to you and you always listen to every word!

You have this new thing now when you eat. Basically, you want mommy's undivided attention!. That means more work for me, but you always win me over with that smile. Basically I always start with both of you on each side, but sometimes you don't like that....you cry and fuss until you get what you want: me to rock you while you eat your bottle, staring at my eyes the entire time...and it's even better if I sign to you while we do this. It doesn't happen every time, so I let you be and stare right back at you, taking in how cute and loved you are.

You're doing so good at holding your head up...and you now don't hate tummy time as much as you used to!. You still love when I grab your chubby little legs and we pretend you're running very fast...it gets you, every time!!!

You love to leave the house and go places...as a matter of fact, you are happier outside than sitting at home!.

Lucas,

Oh my God. Could you be a sweeter baby?. You have the biggest smile I have ever seen...and I just LOVE your little gums. Not sure what it is, but every time you flash them at me you make my heart melt.

You're still laid back and just a happy baby...but you always get your way too (must be the gums!). You get grumpy if you don't sleep enough...and you like to sleep more than your brother. You love to look at your crib soother and you talk/sing to yourself before going to sleep...I love hearing you over the monitor.

You're a home kind of guy. Sure, you like to leave the house and get a little fresh air...but when it's time for naps I think you want to be home and get a little grumpy when you spend too much time outside of the house.

You are a little obsessed with your hands. I can't blame you, those chubby little hands and tiny little fingers are the cutest thing ever!. You always hold your hands together and you can spend hours staring at them!.

****

Now both of you...

You discovered you have a brother and he's about the funniest little guy you've met!. Sometimes when one of you starts to cry, the other one just stares as if asking "what's wrong buddy!?". Sometimes you get each other going though...I call it sympathy crying :)

You take turns in terms of sleeping well at night. You're still little fellas, so I'm being patient!. Last night it was Alex's turn to be the good sleeper....but the night before it was Lucas!. Normally you go to bed at around 7:30pm and wake up to eat at 3-4am...then back down until 7am or so. On the good nights, one of you doesn't wake up until 5am to eat! and on the bad nights one of you demands food at 1am. I stopped waking up the one that's sleeping when the other one is ready...more work for me, but I want to let you know it's ok (and good) to sleep longer!.

You have absolutely stolen our hearts.
