8 weeks

I cannot believe the babies are 8 weeks already. During this month the babies moved into their own room. This happened around week 6. They still share a crib. Cooing started around week 6 for Grady and 7 for Gwen. Gwen likes to be swaddled, bounced and lay on her activity mat in her spare time. Grady likes to lay on the activity mat with Gwen, look to the right, make faces and chill out in his spare time. Both babies spend a lot of their day trying to catch their hands or thumbs in their mouths. Grady is weighing in at 10.8 pounds and Gwen is weighing in at 9.6 pounds. Both babies seem to be gaining weight quickly. Grady is outgrowing his clothes faster than I can buy them. Both babies are drinking about 4 ounces a feeding. Gwen occassionally sleeps 6+ hours straight at night. Grady starts out with a 4 hour stretch, then they get shorter as the night goes on. I am looking forward to enjoying night time feedings since I no longer have to pump.



From the looks of this picture, they also like to spit up in their spare time!

Yes, I was able to squeez myself onto the mat with Gwen.

I am beginning to think his shirt is true. During the night he just lays in his crib and makes soft noises.

This weekend we are headed north to my dads. This will be our first road trip with the babies. I already forsee myself squeezing my large rear end between their car seats as someone is bound to get hungry in two and a half hours.
