2 and 3 Months

Yes, I am way behind.  I did take pictures of the girls at both month markers (or at least within a couple of days of it to be honest) so I thought I would share.

Eowyn continues to be the more active of the girls.  She always wants to stand on your lap or be held on your shoulder.  She hates to bend most of the time.  This has made it hard to put her in the bumbo.  She is usually happiest laying on the floor.  She will do tummy-time, but she often rolls over to her back.  I still don't think that this is her intention, but she does it fairly often.  She has started to smile, and we can occasionally get a giggle out of her.  In the last few weeks, she has really found her hand.  She spends a large part of her awake time holding her right hand up and inspecting it.  I am not sure what she has against the left one.  At the developmental check-up through the NICU, she was measuring 12 lbs.  All of her developmental milestones were measuring between 3-4 months even though she is only 3 months in actual age and two months adjusted age.

Tessa is our cuddle-bug.  She loves being held.  She has little interest in standing or flipping over.  In fact, tummy-time for her means trying to settle down for a good nap.  She was a little behind Eowyn in smiling and giggling, but she does more of it than Eowyn does.  She is much ahead of Eowyn in making other cooing noises.  Eowyn still really doesn't make many at all; whereas, Tessa talks to us all of the time.  Unfortunately, Tessa has also learned how to scream.  When she gets mad, she lets us know.  At the check-up, she weighed  about 12 3/4 lbs.  Her milestones measured between 2-4 months.
