3 Months Old on the 4th of July

Busy, busy, busy is what I have been, so I haven't got to post on here in a while.  I had the post from yesterday sitting in my drafts for a while, and had wanted to share it for some time for those it might help out.  Anywho, I have a lot to share about the babies.  :)

They are three months old today, and are growing by leaps and bounds.  Literally!!!  I wake up every morning, and feel like they have grown a little more.  They are such happy babies...when they are not hungry, tired, or have a dirty diaper.  All of that x's three takes time so that is when they get fussy, when I can't get to them fast enough.  They ooo, coo, and smile all the time.  More and more each day.  They all love it when they get loved on for sure. :)  

Sweet baby Wyatt.  He is such a little heart melter.  He will give you a smile, and this look that will just melt anyone's heart.  I just love that boy!  He is pretty active.  He will ooo, coo, smile, holds his head up, trying to roll over, and pulling his legs up to his chest.  I think he really wants to grab his toes.  As for rolling over...he can roll side to side, but not all the way over yet. AND he is sleeping through the night, thank you Lord.  

My precious baby Brant.  He is a happy baby, but has a little bit more GI issues than the other two.  I'm hoping our recent dosage increase on reflux medication will help him a lot.  Today he seemed to do a lot better.  Now what he does is so sweet too.  He will ooo, coo, has a tilted smile like Beau (or Elvis), tries to roll over, and holds his head up.  AND he is sleeping through the night, thank you Lord again. 

My little smiler Luke.  This boy smiles ALL the time.  No kidding.  He smiles all the time, and can focus really well.  He will ooo, coo, has a big smile, can roll from belly to back, tries to roll from back to belly, has started grabbing feet and has almost mastered it, lifts his head, and holds his head up.  AND he is sleeping through the night, thank you Lord again. 

Yes, you read that right.  All my babies have been sleeping through the night for about a week solid.  The week before that they were working toward it, and would only get up once a night.  When they wake up the world around them just lights up, because as soon as I walk in to get them they just smile the biggest smile.  It is so heart warming, and precious.  I love those babies so much!  They sleep from about 9:30 pm until 5 or 6 am.  Then I feed them a bottle, and they sleep until 8:30 am.  I know, absolutely amazing.  I just give God the glory on this, because it is so good that this has happened.  I needed it to e able to get rest, because I wasn't before.  Anywho, on with their health.  They all were having this evening fussiness time, and earlier this week it dawned on me that they needed an increase on dosage for their reflux medication.  I've been so busy I totally didn't think about that until I was thinking about Beau, and his reflux as a baby.  So I called the doc, and sure enough their dosage doubled.  They have only had two days of the increase, and so far so good.  Will know in a week or so if it is a good thing.  

Currently...
*wearing size 2 diapers
*wearing 0-3 months cloths, but about to up it to 3-6 :)
*officially ALL formula fed babies.  I decided after much prayer that I needed to quit breastfeeding.  I do make enough for two at a time, but keeping up is difficult and I don't eat enough or drink enough to take care of my own body.  Just not enough time :( I so wish I could do it until six months, but its just not possible for me.  I would literally need an IV put in lol.  Plus my tata's would be watermelons.  Sorry to be so blunt for the guys that read this.  But it's true.  
*bath time is like a factory assembly line.  I get em in and get em out guick.  Takes me about 45 minutes if I hurry, but if I let them splash around and enjoy it more like an hour. :) They love bath time.  Currently I've been having to give them baths every other day, because they spit up and chew on their hands etc.  But, sometimes business gets in the way and its every two days.

Okie dokie, I better get to bed.  I've been so sleepy lately.  I think it all is catching up to me now.  I know I'm prob leaving a lot off, but my brain is mush.

Hope you all have a wonderful indepence holiday!  Happy 4th!

Luke

Yeap, that's pretty much how it goes when you wait until the end of the day. :/ Oops.  Wyatt, Brant, and Luke.  Luke has the lip cause his bubba is crying.  Wyatt was perfectly content. Lol. 

Formula Mixer...a must have my friends.  

Me and Big bubba went to the 4th festival at my home town the other night. Was nice to get out with the little guy. :) Came home at 10:30 and Russ already had all the babies in bed, and in their pjs.  A big thumbs up to that. 


Last weekend me, Wyatt, and Beau snuck out and enjoyed the day, while Brant and Luke stayed at home.  Here is what we did. :)
