3 months

Last week the girls turned 3 months.  I am loving their little personalities that are shining through more this month but at the same time sad they are already getting so big.

Here is some information about this last month. 

We separated them into different rooms to try to get them sleeping through the night.  Then they got sick...no sleeping through the night but they aren't waking each other up anymore.  Here's looking to next month.  They both kick their legs constantly.  So much for putting a blanket over them when their awake, it's kicked off in about 10 seconds. We took them out in public together for the first time.  We've gone to church, to my families, the doctor, etc. but never to the mall or to dinner, etc.  So one Saturday night we packed them up and to the mall we went to return something.  It's a little crazy steering a long, double stroller and in the actual crowded store it got even harder but we managed and although I saw some stares no one really came up to us which I was grateful for.  I was feeling so confident that afterwards we went and ate dinner at Jason's deli...it was nice and quiet there and the girls just slept so it was perfect.  It helped build a little confidence in taking them places...then they got sick and we haven't been anywhere else except to see Santa.

Siena

Siena decided to roll over from her tummy to her back this month.  Part of it was a fluke and she's only done it a couple times since but now every time we put her on her tummy she knows she can roll over and tries and tries and gets so frustrated that it's pretty much ruined tummy time.
She is lifting her head all the way up and is getting really strong at holding it up.  She also puts pressure on her legs to stand when I'm holding her.   All in all it's good but now when I try to burp her and cuddle her she just wants to lift her head up and look around.  Where did my cuddly baby go?  And as I mentioned before she got her first sickness.  We took her to the doctor and everything is fine but they offered to suction her with their suction machine.  Who knew about this and why don't they have one for adults when we get colds?  It was HEAVEN and she could actually breathe for a few hours.  Where can I purchase one?  ok kidding but seriously it made my day and you cannot believe how much came out of her.  Even the nurse was dying at how much came out.

Siena has some new friends...I'm still waiting for the girls to interact with each other but it's not there yet...anyways, her new friends are the butterflies on the bouncy seat.  I always ask her if she wants to go talk to her butterflies.  She'll sit in her bouncy seat and kick her legs which makes the butterflies sway and then she smiles and coos at them for a long time.  It's so cute to watch.

Aria

 Aria I call my little lizard.  She is hysterical with her tongue.  It's always going in and out of her mouth and if there is anything even near her mouth she is licking it. ( ie bath towel, sweatshirt hoodie).  I love it and think it's adorable.  Hence the reason for the picture of them together with Aria's tongue.  Even though it's not the best picture of Siena, I couldn't resist it with Aria's tongue like that.  She is also cooing and talks to me non stop after I feed her.  I imitate her sounds and without fail it makes her smile when I imitate her and we go back and forth making sounds.  She is also holding her head up pretty good and is getting stronger by the day.  She also got sick from Siena although it didn't seem quite as bad at first but has taken just as long to get over.

I'm excited for the next few weeks.  I know they don't realize it's Christmas but it's been so fun to get a few things for them and I'm tempted daily to get them out and just let them start playing with them early....they won't know the difference.  I haven't done it yet cuz I know I'll then be disappointed on Christmas morning.
