Happy 3 Months

I can’t believe Jackson and Harper are 3 months old!  Where has the time gone????  They are both getting so big and starting to develop their own personalities which so far are polar opposites. 

Miss Harper is our little spit fire.  She is very dramatic and extremely vocal.  Her daddy says that she takes after me but I’m not buying it.  She has just about every tummy issue in the book from acid reflux to constipation.  Poor little thing.  She tells you the WHOLE story on her tummy issues everyday J  She loves to copy some of our movements especially sticking out her tongue.  It’s adorable to watch her concentrate and try to figure out how to mimic our movements. 
Little Man Jackson “aka Bubba” is the most low key, chill baby.  He is always quietly looking around and absorbing his surroundings.  He surprises people with his extremely high pitched squeals!  We can really get him going smiling and laughing.  He definitely does not have his sister’s stomach issues but he DOES have terrible gas!

The twins love to be outside.  Tyler is already fantasizing about all the outdoor activities and sports the twins will play when they are older.  They also LOVE the fan.  The first thing they spot in every room is the fan and they will stare at it until someone flips it on.  Who knew a fan could be so entertaining.  We need to take them on a field trip to Home Depot to see all the fans.  They would be in fan heaven!  They are also completely fascinated with the TV (they are true Miller’s)!  It is amazing how they can go from crying to completely happy when they spot the TV lights.  Jackson and Harper are smiling like crazy, giggling and cooing. I love seeing those gummy smiles, melts my heart!!! 

Three Month Stats:

Harper
Approximate weight:  11 lbs 15 oz (with a diaper and clothes on)

Jackson
Approximate weight:    11 lbs 12 oz (with a diaper and clothes on), brother is catching up!

Feedings:  As of Thursday we are now feeding the twins every 4 hours.  Due to Harper's acid reflux she developed a bottle aversion.  For about two weeks she fought us during every feeding and refused to eat.  The Dr. told us to bump their feedings to every 4 hours to make sure she is nice and hungry!  So far its working!  So now we are giving them 5-6 oz every 4 hours.  Adjusting their schedule is always a challenge but luckily the twins are handling it pretty well. 
Sleep:  We are still feeding the twins once a night, usually around 2:30.  I'm hoping to bump that time to 3ish this week.  We are slowly making progress.  Once we can conquer Harper's acid reflux and the twins constant gas I think they will start sleeping much better!  Fingers crossed. 
Happy 3 Months
