The Park

It has been crazy warm here considering it is almost February!  I was feeling brave this past week so I loaded all 3 kids up and went to the park at church.  I knew no other kids would be there so it would be easy to watch Cali and the twins.  This was my first trip out on my own with all 3 kids that wasn't to a Dr. apt!

Cali the Bus Driver!

The twins slept for a while then woke up for their afternoon feeding.  They enjoyed their bottles outside.    After the park we ran a quick errand and headed home for dinner.

Pretty successful for our first outing!

She was too quiet

The twins were napping, Cali was eating snack so I was cleaning the kitchen and doing laundry. I was so happy that Cali was playing independently and allowing me to be productive. I should have known better.

Snack was crackers and peanut butter.

Two Month Update - Twins

The twins are officially 2 months old today!  We are starting to get in a rhythm around here with 3 kids under 3.  We started a relaxed version of Baby Wise at week 6 and that seems to have helped.  Basically we follow a schedule of eat, play sleep during the day and then eat and sleep at night.

I started back to work part-time this past week.  We are trying to get used to the new schedule with Nick and I trading off twin duty at lunch.  Cali also is almost completely potty trained so that has helped a lot!

MONTHLY UPDATE:

Food - 100% breast milk on a 2.5 to 3 hour schedule.  Using bottles and nursing.

Sleep - They take around 6 hour to two hour naps a day.  With the Baby Wise system we can get a 4 hour stretch at night a few nights a week!

Clothes - Hannah is still in Newborn size and some 0-3 month.  Henry is in 0-3 month size.

Weight -  Hannah around 8lb 13oz  Henry around 9lb 15oz

Height - Hannah 21 inches Henry 22.5 inches  

Diapers - Pampers size 1 - just moved up from newborn this week!

Health - Hannah is doing great on her meds for the Hemangioma.  The red spot has gotten smaller and is starting to get lighter.  The dermatologist is very happy with the progress and even increased the amount of meds to take.

Fun Facts - Henry loves tummy time and has great head control.  Hannah is a very happy, laid back baby.

Christmas 2011

Merry Christmas from the Jordan's!  

(Yes- I'm know I'm behind.  But I have 3 kids so I'm allowed)

With the twins being so young and little we decided to stay at the house this Christmas and invite our immediate families over for Christmas festivities.

On Friday Dec. 23rd Nick's family came over for dinner and presents.  It was so much fun to see the older girls opening presents and playing together.

Sunday Dec. 25th our family of five did Christmas.  The twins slept through the gift opening.  Cali loved opening her presents and the babies presents.  This year it was clear that the opening of presents was very exciting for her!

One Month Old - Twins

The twins were one month old on Wednesday!  We survived!  Henry and Hannah are doing great.  They are eating, sleeping, peeing and pooping like champs.

MONTHLY UPDATE:
Food - 100% breast milk on a 3 hour schedule.  We will wake them up to feed during the day but let them sleep at night until they are hungry. We are nursing and giving them bottles.  This is wonderful because Nick can play a big roll in the feedings and can give me a break at night.
Sleep - They sleep a lot!  Maybe 16-20 hours a day.  They do not always sleep at the same time which decreases my productivity.  They are sleeping better at night.  Nick and I are getting 4 to 6 hours a night.
Clothes - Newborn size onsies and pants.  Henry is just now able to fit into some of his outfits, Hannah is still small so clothes just kind of hang on her.
Weight -  Hannah 5lbs 12oz  Henry we find out 12/19
Height - Hannah 19 inches Henry we find out 12/19
Diapers - Pampers Newborn size (If you are wondering what the twins want for Christmas the answer is diapers!  We go through a pack every 2 days!)
Health - You may notice a red mark just above Hannah's lip.  This is called a Hemangioma or benign blood tumor.  We saw a pediatric dermatologist this week about it.  Due to its location we are going to start a treatment plan.  Hannah will take medicine two times a day for the first year of her life to make the Hemangioma go away and prevent longterm issues.  We think she is beautiful!
Fun Facts - Henry sneezes in fours, Hannah is a very easy, laid back baby - hopefully this won't change :)
