I love how they already all have their very distinct looks! such little personalities already :) pacificmar, she looks just like you.

Junis (12weeks now) is the typical third child who doesn't get photographed half as often as his siblings did. he is such a mellow little guy though, we are all very much in love with him. the last few days he has also gone from constantly needing to be held/carried to contently lying by himself, sucking his thumb and even falling asleep! I am waiting for the next phase of neediness to kick in (which will be perfectly fine with me), but it's nice to have a little break, especially since DH and I are both down with the flue.

Here is our sweet boy at 10.5 weeks. He is a little guy - 7th percentile for weight and 1st for height - but this mama is secretly glad her little baby isn't growing too fast. :) He loves to smile and "talk" and it is so fun watching his development.

[franjapany]

he is absolutely gorgeous, babychak :)

Here's Zoë at twelve weeks. All the babies are looking good! Xo

[MrsKoehn]

I'll have to wait until I'm on the pc to upload, but she's grown so much lately. Almost 12 weeks, or fourth trimesters are going fast! Everyone, these pics are just way too cute!

Here is Gabe at 9 weeks [IMG]


He is starting to do some 4 and 5 hour stretches of sleep now so I'm hopeful STTN will happen in a few months? Although we cosleep, so it's not the end of the world if he doesn't. Like others, he absolutely hates his car seat However, things have been better since I realized he loves the hair dryer and I downloaded an app on my phone that simulates the sound of one! He will actually sleep in there now sometimes He started smiling at 5 weeks and just started laughing tentatively this week at 9 weeks. So fun! I'm ready for the 4th trimester to be over though...so exhausting!

STLmama, what is the app called? My little guy also hates his carseat (though it's getting better) and also likes the hair dryer. I tried playing a YouTube video of one in the car but it wasn't loud enough!

[STLmama225]

It's just called HairDryer on iPhone. First one that comes up in search results. HTH!

[MrsKoehn]

Gabe is so cute! I was on the pc the other day thinking, I know I was going to do something else.... Lol. I need to get daddy to ya she her tonight so I can do some stuff on there anyway. I have packages to mail asap.

Here's Ana this past week. She's going to be 3 months on the 12th, 13 weeks tomorrow.

This was this week too. She's so chatty and very  personable. She gives kisses, copies voice tone, and has certain "words" she uses for what she wants. Esp when she is tired and wants to walk. She says, "Nigh-nigh" about half the time. When she's chatty she copies your voice tones for "I love you/Daddy/Mommy/Jesus" and "bye-bye". She gets some of the sounds right too! I attribute it to lots of fish oil before and since.

She is pretty high maintenance and has to be held a lot. The Moby is awesome! She eats pretty well hourly all day, that gets old but I love watching her faces!  :)  She's just passed out in my lap. Lol  She loves Daddy time when he's home and he's working on spoiling her rotten.

All-in-all, I am in love with her and I can't believe she's growing SO fast!

[MrsKoehn]

Oh, and she is now 11 1/2 lbs and about 23". She was born at 6 lbs 1 oz and 20" long. :)

I haven't been much active here since I delivered. But I keep lurking at life updates and its so wonderful to see all the babies :) so cute !!!!

Here's are a few pics of Rushil :) 

At 6 weeks - "best place to sleep - on mommy!!!"

At 8 weeks - he is so chatty and loves to smile and talk all the time. Grandparents are super happy as they keep telling him stories and singing lullabies :)

2 months old - 

11 weeks old - with his fav toy 

and he loves his car seat to such an extent, that we could do a road trip from Boston to Key West on his 1st month birthday !!! yay!!!

Edison is a CHUNK at 11 weeks old. 15 lbs 24 inches. He is such a happy boy! We're still dealing with a shallow latch and gagging problems, I'm starting to think he might be tongue tied. It hasn't seemed to effect his intake until recently. He's been getting pretty frustrated while nursing and can't nurse himself to sleep I can't believe the 4th trimester is almost over. I'm not ready for this stage to end yet!!

[MrsKoehn]

Rushil is so adorable! Ana loves sleeping on me too, but it makes it hard to do stuff for sure! Lol

Edison sounds like a big kid all over! I hope you get the latch thing worked out soon. About 11 weeks she just started latching poorly and chomping on me, so I was super sore. I've been block feeding because of over active let down. Then we had to work on latch again.

Three months on Valentine's Day!

Ah, I had a nice long reply typed about all your beautiful babies but my laptop messed up and I had to restart it.  Just know, I love your chubby and tiny babies and am envious of those that are sleeping for hours at night and riding happily in the car!

Everett is a happy giant boy! He weighs 17.5 lbs now and is wearing 9-12 month clothes! Eeek! My smallish newborn is gone forever though he still of course acts like a 12 week old baby. He's so laid back compared to my older son as an infant. E will wake with big grins and happily sit or lay and watch us go about our day. Still surprises me that he sits very contentedly in his bouncer for 30-45 minutes at a time. He loves to fall asleep  in my arms with his head under my breast, tucked toward my armpit. He nurses every 1-2 hours during the day and every  hours at night. Takes a few 30-45 minutes naps in the morning and evening and a long 3-4 hour nap in the afternoon. 

Of course this darling boy still hates the car, mostly at night. He doesn't like being in a baby carrier and will generally fuss instead of falling asleep in it even when he's tired. Ah, oh well!

I'm loving the toothless baby smiles and the funny starts of laughing. And baby "talking"? Oh, it makes me laugh and smile so much! Everett even tries to sing along with us when we do and the cooing is delightful!

Gotta run and get some stuff done around the house. Hope you are all having a lovely weekend with your families and precious babies!

Cuddling with my boy :)

Love his giant grins!

Everett at one week, 1 month, and 2 months old. He'll be three months next week!

Oh cuties!!!

What gorgeous babies--I've been enjoying watching them grow over the past few weeks, along with taking great joy in watching Luthien's growth from moment to moment! I feel deeply privileged to have a shared private medical practice with my husband where we can bring Luthien along--we don't have to miss a minute of her incredible development. That's such a blessing and I'm so grateful for it.

She's going to be twelve weeks on Thursday and is such a delightful presence. Each day, she adds new sounds to her melodious repertoire, and her lungs are getting more powerful...she doesn't need any amplification to be heard! She has succeeded in turning over from belly to back a few times, but this is a big effort for her, and she's getting ready to sit unassisted. She has good trunk strength to about the lower back area; this is where she slumps and can't keep herself erect without a pillow to bolster her. She still nurses very frequently, about once an hour or more often. While I'm her "breast friend," she also has a deep attachment to Seth. She loves his gentle "Daddy energy," especially the funny faces he makes and the lively way he converses with her.

This is her marvelous smile!

Keep on enjoying those beautiful babies!

Hi everyone!  All of our babies are growing so big!  I can't believe it's been 3 months now.

Things are well here.  Hectic but well.  My second youngest just turned 2 yesterday, and he's been a handful since Baxter was born.

Have 2 babies is hard, especially when one is walking/climbing/causing mayhem every second I'm nursing or need to tend to Baxter.

Baxter is a ham.  He's such a happy baby, all smiles and giggles and lots of noises.  He is starting to get a little resistant to me not being by his side and will now actually let our a high pitch scream if I wonder too far.  Nursing is going well, a few times through the night, a bunch more during the day.  I don't keep track really but he's pretty chubby so it seems he's eating enough.

Sadly, I'm struggling losing my pregnancy weight.  I have so much more to lose and haven't barely lost anything since the first week after I had him.  Yikes.  I'm tired of wearing my "fat clothes" and hope to figure out what's going on before summer.

Here he is at 14 weeks.

I haven't been by in awhile. All of the babies are so plump and cute. Allison is just about 3 months old and doing great. She has the same vibrating rocking chair that Sere234's boy has. She loves it and can even rock it herself when she is on a hard floor.
