Bedtime for Babies!

(Remember to push pause on the music so you can listen to this!)

I can't believe my babies are 3 months old today! This past month has flown by compared to the first two. Life has gotten so much easier. That doesn't mean there aren't days when I want to pull my hair out! But we have our little routine down and Nicholas and Karlee are just happier babies. Nicholas is my little alarm clock and is up at 7:30 on the dot every morning. I usually have to run in to his room and grab him before he wakes up Karlee. Karlee, on the other hand, will sleep until 10am if I let her. Lately, they've both been getting up at around the same time. I love, LOVE walking in to their room and seeing them both wiggling and smiling up at me. I get the biggest smiles in the morning and a lot of "cooing." I love this stage!

Karlee is my little wiggler! She manages to wiggle out of all of her blankets and even her pajamas. I always can find her with one arm up, out through the neckline of her night gown. One morning, I even found her with one leg sticking completely out of her footed pajamas. She had popped the buttons open and wiggled out. No matter where I put her at night, she manages to scoot over to Nicholas and has usually turned 90 degrees. The funniest thing happened on Sunday. I was getting Nicholas ready for church and Mark was in the shower and I had put Karlee in the baby bouncer. It wasn't long after, Macy started yelling "Uh, oh! Karlee's out!" I went running in to see what was the matter and found Karlee on the floor on her tummy. She had scooted right out of the bouncer and flipped over on to the floor. Now I strap her in every time and I don't think she likes it. She's always trying to buck out! I have a feeling she is going to be my really quiet child that is in to everything.

Nicholas, on the other had, is such a boy! He sweats, he stinks but he sure loves his mamma! He is such a snuggler (unlike any of my girls) and loves to be packed around. He cries the second he sees me until I pick him up or walk away. Out of sight, out of mind! He is getting huge! He is already in size 3 diapers while Karlee is still in size 2 and he is already wearing 6 month stuff. I love to dress him like a little man in polos and khakis! He LOVES soft blankets and always has to have one held between his hands and next to his cheek to fall asleep. Oh, and don't forget the binkie. He'll only take the Soothie but he can't keep it in. I practically have to wrap it up with him in his blanket to keep it from falling out. It's so frustrating! I've thought about using one of my head bands to keep it in. There is something about his hands that I just love. Even when he eats he has them clasped tight right up under his chin. I have to fight him to get the bottle in because he won't move his hands. He just discovered them yesterday and has been staring at them all day. It's great because he actually has something to entertain him besides me. He is a lot of drama but oh, so cute!

So, life is definitely a lot of fun right now at our house!
