Aside from the numbers Ben:
-Is impressively inconsistent. There have been nights when he's slept 9+ hours. Then there are nights when he wakes up every three hours to eat. We also aren't on any regular nap schedule but most days he will take a nap in the afternoon while Caroline is sleeping. It's great. When we're home he is more of a cat-napper but he is a rock star when we run errands or go somewhere and has no trouble sleeping in his carseat. During the day I also never know if he will be hungry 2 hours after he eats or 5. We can usually count on every three hours during the day, but he likes to keep me on my toes.
-Is now transitioned to the pack and play. He was sleeping in a rocker seat.
- Is a rolling machine. It still seems almost involuntary- but he rolls onto his stomach like a pro. He has a bit of trouble getting back over to his back though.
- In just the last few weeks has started taking a bottle. Hallelujah!
- Is such a happy boy. He is so quick to smile and loves being talked to and getting attention.
- Produces massive amounts of slobber.
- Seems to be past the days of massive spit up. He still spits up- but in 'my-clothes-aren't drenched' quantities.
Caroline:
-Is acting more two-ish all the time. We are becoming well acquainted with independence and emotional drama.
-Says more now- well we can figure out a little bit more of what she's saying.
-Loves to go for rides in the stroller.
-Is a big fan of going to Grandma and Grandpas house- but she's usually ready to come home, too.
-Loves going to the splash park, the reservoir, and playing in the pool. Pretty much she likes water- and if there's dirt in the deal it's even better.
-Likes twirling and doing action songs.
-Has started pretending. She "eats" in her play kitchen, and she'll share her juice with stuffed animals.
-Some days she seems to prefer cars to dolls, but other days the dolls win.
-Is really good at "selective hearing"
-Likes to run away when I ask her to do something or tell her we're going to change her diaper, etc.
