Three Months!

I cannot believe my sweet boys are already three months old! With every new month my heart sinks a little- they wont be babies forever. So, I spend my days neglecting my house and holding my babies- I'm ok with it, it wont be this way forever. Someday we will eat well planned meals, from a nice clean kitchen with no dishes on the counters. Until then, I just want to soak in these days- these moments that are passing far too quickly for this mama's liking!

I want to remember everything about these sweet EXHAUSTING days with my boys:

Baby A: H --- (Random question twin mamas-- is your baby A the more chill one? My OB insists he can pick A & B almost every time by temperament. A is almost always more relaxed and B is more likely to be the needy/scrappy type. SO true at our house!)
  • LOVES to sleep... during the day. Get the kid snuggly and he is OUT! He is so much like his mama when it comes to sleep.
  • Is pretty content (and usually sleeping) in his swing, car seat and stroller. Right now outings are a dream!
  • Likes his giraffe wubbanub pacifier, but doesn't need it most of the time.
  • Enjoys nursing and bottles. He almost always cries when either is over, even if he is the one to pull away. 
  • Can play for a long time on his play mat by himself or alongside his brother. 
  • Wakes up every 3or 4 hours at night to eat.
  • Misses his brother in the pack-n-play at night when A jumps ship and gets in bed with mommy and daddy. 
  • Has the most adorable dimples I've ever seen. 
  • Wears a size one diaper and 3 month clothes. 
  • Loves Mommy and Daddy pretty equally.
  • Cries only when he needs something. He is usually pretty easy to figure out- he doesn't care too much about the status of his diaper unless its poopy, so it is usually an eat or sleep cry. 
Baby B: A
  • Has a hard time shutting down and going to sleep. The kid is SO worried he is going to miss something!
  • Loves his mama above all others.
  • Is still a tiny guy- but long enough that we had to retire all of the newborn clothes when he reached 12 weeks old. He also transitioned to size 1 diapers just this week at 13 weeks old. 
  • Forgets/doesn't like to/avoids pooping. The doctor says it is fine because he isn't actually constipated. We used suppositories for awhile but now he is going once or twice a week.
  • NEEDS his froggy wubbanub pacifier.
  • Usually likes riding in the car seat, stroller and swing, but often prefers the sling or front pack. 
  • Loves to eat, but spits up A LOT. We think he is dealing with a bit of reflux, but not enough to medicate. 
  • Has started sleeping through the night the last few nights.... if he gets into bed with us at some point. 
  • Smiles with his whole face. 
  • Loves to stand.
  • Is a more fussy baby than his brother, but often the fussy times can be avoided if I see them coming.

In the eyes of their Mama they are the most perfect, adorable babies EVER!

Ahhhhhh they are adorable!!!! I've been anxiously awaiting a picture!! My little Leena Baby A tends to be a little more high maintenance she is a girl that knows what she wants!! She just loves her Mommy!! Brielle Baby B is way more laid back she is pretty much go with the flow until its bed time, than she is a whole new baby and just fights it!!

They are so handsome, seriously adorable little guys. I agree with your priorities, who cares if everything is in its place as longs as the boys are happy and cared for. I too cherish every second with my boys and can't get enough of them. My guys are now almost 9 months and it has flown by way too fast.
I have the absolute reverse of your boys as far as personality. My baby A is the fussier guy that has been the first to do most things (crawling, standing, sitting etc), while my baby B is the chilled relaxed one. I always thought it was typical for baby A to be the "wild one" because they got out first....lol. Actually our boys changed places at the last minute (seems impossible) and baby A became baby b (I had a c-section so maybe that had something to do with it).
Anyways, enjoy those adorable guys.

They are so darn cute!!!
Baby A was def. the chill baby, and at times I felt like he was neglected because baby b was more needy!
Sounds like you are having the time of your life :)
