12 Weeks!!

Avery

Avery...

• Is so sweet! You can tell she just loves to be around people.


• Rolled from front to back for the first time last week! Once she figured it out, she did it three more times in a row.


• Has a huge appetite, never misses a meal, and continues to drink her bottles sooooo fast!


• Burps so loud! Last Sunday during church, my SIL Lindsey fed her and then was trying to burp her. Avery had sucked down the bottle so fast so I knew there was going to be a big one heading our way. Sure enough, as I had my head bowed during a prayer, Avery lets out a huge loud burp! A lot of people turned around and started laughing. My mom, who was at the front of the church, heard it all the way up there and we were on the very last row. My mom knew exactly who it was!


• LOVES to spend time with Caroline! She would lay next to Caroline for hours if Caroline would stay that long. Avery gets this sweet, almost shy looking smile on her face when we put her near Caroline. It is important to us to give them good quality time together!


• Is very animated! She makes lots of different facial expressions and noises.


• This girl can stretch! I will have to get it on video for ya'll. She loves to stretch and makes the cutest noise to go with it!


• Loves to be held!


• Plays well on the activity mat alone, but prefers to have either Braxton, Caroline or me near her.


• Is still bigger than Caroline


• Is a great napper! Once I get her to sleep, she will nap for a few hours at a time!
  
• Loves to put soft, fuzzy blankets up near her face. If I cover her with one, she will use her fists to bring it up to her face and will start moving her face all over it.

Caroline




Caroline...

• Is also a very sweet baby who loves to be around people.


• Loves to be held and is super cuddly!


• Is more of a cat napper. She will take little naps on and off all day. I am still working on getting the girls to nap at the same time.


• Usually has her hands in a fist and her toes curled. I have to pry her hands open and they usually have some blanket fuzz in them!


• Is not a fan of tummy time.


• Has a dimple on her left cheek! It is the cutest thing. You may not be able to see it in the picture above.


• LOVES being on the changing table. I have no idea why! She can be screaming crying and we lay her on the changing table, she will stop. This is without a diaper change. She just likes something about it.


• Will kick her leg through any opening between buttons. We always put them in Kissy Kissy night gowns that button down the front to sleep in and when we unswaddle her to change her diaper, most of the time she has one leg through a gap between the buttons. It always cracks us up!


• Always thinks she is falling. She throws her arms out like she is falling all the time! Poor thing- I hate that she thinks that.


• Likes to feel secure.

Both girls...

• Enjoy their baths and going on walks.


• Love to be held.


• Wear size 1 diapers and 3 month clothes


• Still have blue eyes


• Are very good in the car


• Don't like to be rocked. They prefer to for us to walk around patting their bottoms until they fall asleep.


• Know that they are about to have a bottle when they feel a burp cloth under their chin. We always put a burp cloth under their chin when we feed them so it doesn't drip down their neck. Because we do this everytime, they have picked up on it. How I know this is, they will immediately stop crying if they were crying once we put the burp cloth there or they will start to smile if they weren't crying. I think they are going to be smart girls! :)
