21 Weeks - Five Months - Today

Well - we made it. We are now into the fifth month. Whew. Things are going really well - honestly - we are now into somewhat of a routine that is working. I am finally relieved that I know what each day holds. I have routine and predictability. Wahoo! In the world of twins: you gotta love routine.

Our days have pretty much followed the same schedule for the last few weeks:
6:45 AM Wyatt is awake
7:00 AM Teagan gets woken up
7:15 AM Babies eat...Mommy makes coffee...babies play after eating
9:00 AM Babies go down for their first nap of the day
9:45 AM Babies wake up
10:00 AM Babies eat for the second time
Baby Olympics
11:45 or Noon Babies go down for their second nap
12:45 PM Babies Wake up
1:00 PM Babies eat again!
2:30 or so Babies go down for another quick nap
3:30 Babies wake up
4:00 Babies eat for the fourth time
More Playing
5:00 Last nap of the day - this one is quick
5:30 PM Wake up and the nighttime ritual begins
Bath
Jammies
Nightime Bottle
6:30 - 7:00 PM BEDTIME

So everyday, this is what we do.

Teagan is doing great. The little girl is a champion sleeper and eater! She is sleeping at least 11 - 12 hours at night and does her naps during the day. She eats a ton during the day - usually 7 oz. a feeding. She sucks on her fingers constantly as she has begun teething. I swear she tries her best to get both her fists in her mouth at the same time! She has also found her thumb and often times at night and for her naps we find her sucking her thumb. Really cute.

Wyatt is such a happy little baby now that we have gotten his reflux under control. He smiles all the time - and when he smiles he smiles with his whole body. It is so cute. He has also starting rolling over. This is really cute during the day - but not so fun at 2:00 o'clock in the morning when he rolls over from his tummy to his back and wakes up in a panic because he doesn't know how to sleep on his back. Yes - our babies are tummy sleepers now. :-) Wyatt can almost make it through the night. He wakes up around 3 AM to eat and then goes right back to sleep. We also decided to get his birthmark on his nose treated with a laser treatment from the dermatologist so that is starting to fade a little bit too. Mostly though - Wyatt is such a "mini-me" form of Travis that it is a little crazy.

Here are our latest pictures.

We hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving and enjoys the time off.

Love - Travis and Susan
