The girls are both wearing 0-3 month clothes, but are tiny at the middle. Catherine's long legs make the PJs tighter than Paisley, who is rounder with slightly thicker things and belly. Mac is a quickly out growing his sisters, and is almost out of his 3-6 month clothes. We've gone to size 2 diapers for the girls, and size 3 for Mac. I can no longer touch my fingers around the top of his leg...
The still, snuggle naps are fewer as they've become quite the wiggle worms. But on the occasion, that I have the luxury of only one, and we are having a cuddle nap, I get to reflect upon how far we've come. The days of one handed babies on our chest, connected to wires and wires, and now Mac is longer than my whole torso.
There was a little mix up with our last pediatrician appointment, and as there are three of them, the "squeezing" us in, meant waiting 6 weeks... Even though i made it there solo with them in the rain. So, their next visit is August 23rd. It's kind of refreshing to not be as conscious of all the nitty gritty details, so "how much do they weigh now?" The answer... "I have no clue".
Paisley is great about rolling onto her belly, and awful about rolling back over. Shouting until someone comes and helps her flip. Catherine is almost over, but has an arm that gets stuck. And Mac has been pulling his feet up to grab his toes and rolling side to side.
The girls hair has been growing in, with Catherine the longest. However, she's also the fairest, so Paisleys is much more obvious. Catherine has one hair right on top, that is probably close to 4 inches. And Paisley has a little mini Mohawk on the back crown of her head.
Mac is still our chillest at home, even when he's a little sad, a big smile and a little attention and he's smiling back at us. He loves his toys, and has found his fingers, spending time looking and moving them around. He's also got a few days where his toes are of interest. He is always excited to see me and Darren and both his arms start wiggling, and legs start kicking, even at 3 am.
He's the chattier of the Hogglets, with "oohs", "heys" and "heehee"s back and forth. Hiding under his gums, you can see the lines of his two bottom teeth, they will be here soon.
He's taken to being a little shy around strangers and loud noises, and needs some mommy or daddy snuggles to try out new places.
Paisley gets more adjectives every day... Spunky, feisty, emotional. She smiles the biggest of the three, and shouts the loudest. She is the most commandeering of attention, partly because of sheer volume. Her hands are constantly in her mouth these days, so I think she's on her way to teeth as well.
She sleeps on her belly now, with her bottom up in the air... After fighting sleep, and either rocking/patting her way to sleep or needing some kind of assistance :)
Catherine has the shyest, sweetest smile, which she willingly gives to everyone. She's the best sleeper and eater of the bunch. She entertains me during feeding because if she's hungry, she looks excited and ready to eat, but as soon as she's done, her face makes it look like the most awful tasting thing ever.. She's ticklish, especially around her chest. So, every night as you zip up her pjs, she gives a little giggle when you get to the top.
Enough for now, trying to get this out before another day goes past!
