Lots going on between two and three months

The twins have reached three months and this was the easiest monthly picture that we've taken. No crying occurred and both stayed sitting somewhat upright.


Between their two and three month birthdays, lots have happened. I've returned to work and we've started dropping the babies off at my sister's house for my parents to babysit. It is such a blessing that my mom is willing and able to watch them. The transition back to work was definitely made easier because of this.

Ainsley briefly worn a few 0-3 month outfits and is now moving onto 3M outfits. I didn't realize that 3M was even a separate size and just assumed it was another version of 0-3M. Nope, the order is NB, 0-3M, 3M followed by 3-6M. I've sadly kept a few of my favorite 0-3M outfits with the hopes that Ainsley might still fit in them. It's unlikely though as she was lounging around comfortably in a 3-6M onesie the other day. Carter has outgrown his newborn clothes and moved onto 0-3M! Yay! My baby boy is growing!
 The twins have started returning our smiles when we would make silly faces at them with encouragement. Carter is a social butterfly and flashes that million dollar toothless grin generously. Ainsley is a bit more reserved so when she smiles, I feel like I've won the lottery. More often than not, Ainsley's lips are pursed in a suckling motion indicating that she wants her milk. Now.


Seriously, where's my milk?!

Our feeding sessions start with some demanding cries and diaper changes. The twins are quite smart and start calming down during the diaper change because they realize what is next. Feeding time. After feeding time, Will and I both simultaneously burp one and then the conversation starts between us and the baby we are holding. Carter likes to play and opens his mouth wide as if to call or laugh. Ainsley will make "err" noises at you and when returned, she's a full on talker. I wonder if she will be as talkative later after attaining that skill than she is now.

This month, the twins were treated to a special visit from the Wu's! Mackenzie is doing such a good job holding Carter here. McKayla was a little shy about holding them but sooner or later, they will be able to all play together!

This month, we also took the twins to their first dining experience at a restaurant! We all went to Lucky Dragon on campus. This place used to be Yuen's which used to be Chinese Village. It was a little nerve wrecking but my aunt Mandy did a great job holding Carter.

This is how the future generation eats - a fork in one hand and texting with the other.
