14? Weeks!!

Weight:  11ish lbs

New developments: I could probably just do one of these sets of answers for both babies.  They do a lot of things at about the same time.  There have been some big developments in the last few weeks.  They hold their heads up for long periods unassisted and look around.  They make good eye contact.  We've got lots of smiles that don't just signal throwing up.  They have gone from making a few little coos to having long coo conversations with us.  They are really good at bouncing on their legs and holding themselves up with their legs.  They are getting huge and growing out of their 0-3 month sleep and plays.  They are working on batting at objects.  We seem to be a long way from rolling over.  Neither of them have made even small movements to show they care to roll over.


What he is wearing: The 0-3 month sleep and plays (pretty much all they wear) are starting to get too short!  That was a really short amount of time in that size it seems.  Some of them still fit fine, but I'm going to have to start buying some sleep and plays in the next size up.  Very exciting.  I got some more diapers in the next size up.  It is oddly exciting to get new diapers. 

Favorite memory of the week: I'm loving the smiling and the cooing.  It is much more rewarding to feed a baby in the middle of the night that at least seems happy to see you.

Least favorite memory of the week: After Cody got sick, the boys got sick.  It has been a miserable few weeks here at the Ruby house.  It was rough dealing with the babies getting sick for the first time.  They can't have any medicine, so there really isn't much we could do.  We just set them up to sleep right by the humidifier and spent a lot of time sucking out their nose.  We survived.


What we're looking forward to: I can't wait for the weather to get warmer so we can take the babies outside.  The winter trapped in the house has been very long and boring.

New developments: same as Alex


What he is wearing: Same as Alex.  He is not as long as Alex.  The 0-3 sleepers still fit him better, but he is getting there.

Eyelashes and Eyebrows!!!

They wouldn't calm down, so I stuck them together in the rock and play.  That seemed to do the trick.  I was too scared to leave them unattended like that though, so I had to stand there watching them.  Alex on the left, Ben on the right.

Snuggling

Sort of smile.  They haven't been cooperating when I get the camera out.  This is the closest I have to a smile on the camera.  It is like trying to catch Sasquatch.

My grandma and grandpa sent matching outfits for the boys.  The boys don't usually have hoods or hats on, so I'm not sure how Alex felt about it. He looks a little confused.   He ended up falling asleep with the hood covering his eyes and nose.  It was pretty cute.
