Our week in a nut shell!


                We have been trying to get the boys out into the fresh air. So some days we go to the park! The boys like to swing with daddy. On another note, crib sleeping is going very well!!! Three nights they slept all through the night. They have their last feeding around 10:30 and usually sleep anywhere between 7 and 8 in the morning. Last night however they decided to wake up at 4am… Once they wake up for their first morning feeding they continue to feed every three hours throughout the day. I am very pleased with this because we have managed to bring their feedings back down to anywhere between 24 and 28 ounces. At their two month checkup the doctor made me feel like the worst mother in the world for over feeding them. They wanted to eat every three hours around the clock at that time so that put them at 32 ounces a day, which is WAY too much. What can I say when they want to eat they want to eat right NOW. The only problem we are having is Jonathan’s angel care monitor alarm keeps going off at night. It is starting to worry me. I am wondering if he has baby sleep apnea. Tonight I am going to switch them in the cribs to see if Christopher’s alarm goes off while Jonathan is in his bed. I was reading online about how babies born premature have a greater chance of developing sleep apnea. So for now I am keeping a close eye on him.
                 
        
             Other updates over the past week are, we broke out the jumparoo that the Mendelson’s got us at our baby shower. It has been sitting in the garage since August, and we thought hmm wonder if they are big enough for it yet. They have great head control and are under 25 pounds so Greg put it together and they LOVE it!!! We are trying to save to buy another one because they are taking turns now and it is not working out to well. They both want to be in it at the same time of course. Also we have a Bumbo chair. They also love this, it helps with their posture and they can sit up with us. It is sooo adorable! It really helps me when I need to feed them both I can sit one baby in the chair. Our schedule’s during the day are getting better. They have a mid morning, afternoon, mid afternoon, and evening nap. All lasting about an hour or so.  Then we have bath time, one more bottle, and down by 10:30 or 11:00. We are enjoying their smiles so much! They love to be talked too! I am posting pictures from the park, bumbo, and jumparoo pictures!
