Babies, Stop Growing Now!!!

My sweet tiny babies are one month old and I could just cry! I want them to stay this size forever!! Time is going by too fast! I need it to slow down or they are going to be in college before I know it! The babies are so sweet and we are so thankful for our happy healthy babies. We can't imagine life without them!

The babies eat at 10, 2, and 6 am and pm. Knox eats four ounces and Ava and Brooks eat three, sometimes a little more. They all completely empty their bottles so it might be time to go up a little! They usually stay awake for a little while after they eat and then they sleep for at least three hours between each feeding. They never cry unless the four hours are up and they are ready to eat again. Knox always wakes up first to eat, then Brooks, and then we have to wake Ava up to eat last! They all love to be swaddled! The tighter the better! They occasionally take pacifiers but I'm not a huge fan of them! If the pacifier falls out while they are trying to go to sleep they let you know about it so I leave those out as much as I can! Mommy is not good at doing tummy time! I think the babies are supposed to be on their tummy's for ten minutes three to four times a day. We are doing good to do it once a day for ten minutes! We are going to try to work on that this week. Knox doesn't mind tummy time but Ava and Brooks aren't big fans! They all love the swing but Brooks hogs it most of the time!

So far we have been out of the house four times since they have been home! Twice for Pediatrician appointments and twice for pictures. I guess that's not bad for being home three weeks.

Ava, you are the sweetest, prissiest little girl I know. You make the funniest faces all of the time! You are constantly puckering your lips and stretching your little arms. You could sleep all day long (like your mommy)! We have to wake you up for every feeding. That is probably my favorite time with you! You stretch and make the cutest face! I just want to eat you up! You had trouble eating at first but I think before long you will be eating more than your brothers! You watch me the entire time I feed you! You are always so alert! You love to be swaddled and to be snuggled close to your mommy or daddy. You also love bath time! I think you would stay in the bath tub all day if I would let you. You are still so little but I can tell you are getting bigger every day. I think you have your mommy's big feet. You are such a sweet happy baby! We love you so much!










Brooks, you are the cutest little thing! You have such a funny personality! You constantly make little noises in your sleep. It's hilarious. You grunt a lot too! You definitely have the most energy! You are a very spunky baby and very strong too. You can almost hold your head up by yourself! Your daddy and I think you are hilarious because you always look like you are deep in thought. Your little head is always wrinkly! You love bath time too. Every time I put you in the bath tub you pee pee though! You love to be held and you will cry and as soon as I pick you up you stop! I think you've figured that out! You also love to be swaddled and you love your swing! You like to watch tv too! You get bigger everyday! We definitely can't tell you were the smallest baby at birth! We love you little Brooks!









Knox, you are such a perfect little baby. You are soo laid back. Something really has to be wrong for you to get upset and even then as soon as we pick you up you are fine! You are so content! You love to just look around and watch everyone with your big eyes! You are the best little eater! You love to eat and suck down your bottle in no time! You take an ounce more than your brother and sister and I really think you could eat more than that! You love bath time too. You really do just go with the flow! You are very strong! When we do tummy time it almost seems like you could get on all fours and crawl away! You have the funniest little cry. It's so sad and any time I hear it I have to pick you up! We call you our big boy because you are so much bigger than your brother and sister. We love you!
