The Stats

Carter- W: 18.12 lb
H: 27 1/4
Head: 43.8cm all bottom 5%
Some new fun facts. Carter really does like to clap now and does it anytime you say "yeah". He is also attempting to feed himself, which when done, will be a huge relief. For now he gets his thumb in his mouth and that is it. Hopefully he will soon learn he needs the whole fist! Still loves to walk and can do it holding on with only one hand and not two. He is experimenting more with foods, still mainly carbs though. I did get him to eat a few tomatoes the other day though, always wants what is on my fork. He'll always open but may not last more than a second in his mouth. But doesn't he have the best lips you've ever seen?? You just want to kiss them all day!

Tatum: W: 18.14
H: 28 10-25%
Head: 45.8 50-75%
Tatum has done a total 180. She is such a happy, silly girl. She loved to cuddle you if you are laying on the ground- in a weird way. She is constantly moving but laying right next to you doing it. She makes some animal sounds, is jumping in her bed after naps and making high pitched happy sounds. She has mastered feeding herself and loves her sippy cup. Hopefully that helps feed her thirst when we give her the bottle less and less. Has a new obsession for this shark. If you make the noises to 'Jaws- dada,dada- she gets so gitty, we got a game going with it! She drinks so much! Made it two months with teeth before chipping the top right central, look closely and you will see it shorter and a little jagged, we are hoping it doesn't turn into a "dead" tooth. She has the chubbiest cheeks which enhance the double chin when she makes scratchy, smoker noises. She loves to laugh- still her her tantrum moments- but is our Angel Tater Tootsies!! Lincoln W: 19.13
H 28 1/2 10%
Head: 45.2 10-25%
And Lincoln- He is still our little Rock Star!! He is such a momma's boy- but can still be fun. He loves to cruise around the house and can do it all day long, just a pro at walking. (Poor Carter wants to be like Linc) He can make the funniest faces, loves to squint his eyes and move his lips in weird ways. He is SO TICKLISH it is awesome. He has the cutest laugh that I love to hear. He is a fantastic sleeper. Loves to sleep, but don't forget blue dog or else. He will roll around in his sleep with this dog. And when he wakes up he always throws it over the side- if I forget to put it back in bed he will roam the house with it. Just loves it. (thanks again Lena). But also has a game of throwing it over the side. I'll toss it in and he tosses it out. He is starting to tryout the feeding thing, but just as often as he'll try to feed himself- he'll lay is face on the table hoping a chunk of food makes it in his mouth, not sure where he learned that from. But very stubborn, does not want your help getting his fingers in his mouth and lays his hands on his lap when he is hungry and wants you to feed him. But all in all- we just love this kid. They all have there flaws and I get stressed out beyond---- everything, but I love being home with them. I love listening to them all laugh and jibber-jabber to each other when they wake up from their naps. I love having stories for Ben about them, especially when he's been gone for two days. I love that they say momma, and not daddy.. They are fun to be with (I still love my breaks though, when my awesome friends help out- I am so glad I don't have to grocery shop at night after they are in bed) They are our Babes!!
