3 month old little girlies~

I am a few days behind but my girls are 3 months old! I would love to say, "where has the time gone" or "man, this flew by" but that would be a lie! I honestly can hardly remember what life was like before them, and it seems like I have been a mommy for much longer than 3 months! But oh what a wonderful 3 months it has been. I know I won't remember things, so boringly, for myself I am going to document what they are up to and how they are doing!


Zo Zo is:

-smiling up a storm
-cooing all day long and babbling...I have heard m, b, g, d and that warms this Speech Therapists heart!
- rolling from her back to her tummy...but HATES getting stuck on her tummy & screams until I flip her over!
-holding her little head up like a champ
-supporting her weight on her little legs when we hold her up
-has started straining her neck to watch the TV when it's on in the room....she loved her some TV
- loves to be read to and will attend to an entire 10 minute book smiling and cooing and making eye contact with me the whole time. It is precious!
-Has pretty much stopped crying much at all! She is the essence of content!
- sleeping like a little champ. Our sleep changes around here a lot. She was going to bed around 7, getting up around 1 for a quick bottle (It is always Nora who wakes up but we feed Zoe) and then sleeping like clockwork until 7:30am. I mean 7:30 on the dot. But lately they have been going to sleep around 8:30pm, getting back up around 5:45am to eat and then going back to asleep until around 9:15am. Yes please! Let's keep this up little girls. Zoe does not move an inch, or make a peep at night. She is the most still, quiet sleeper. I am pretty sure if we didn't have our little thrasher AKA Nora Beth, we would put Zoe down at night and not see them again until the morning.

Nora Beth is:

-smiling a lot but we have to work for it! When she is in the mood she won't turn the smile off for hours, and then some days we go a whole day and I am lucky to get a few good smirks!
-lifting her head up and supporting her weight on her elbows while on her tummy. She sleeps on her tummy now all night and I think the extra "tummy time" is doing her good.
-babbling like Zoe, but in the softest voice you have ever heard. When she cries it is downright shrill, but when she talks it is like she is whispering. Its odd to me. But very cute (the babbling...NOT the shrill crying).
-Will sit and listen to a book and watch my face the whole time. When I get really animated her little eye brows lift up in delight and it is beyond precious!
- Has become a tad hard to deal with during the day because she has developed an insistence on being held! I took her to the doctor twice because I was just sure she was ill or had an ear infection or something. Nope...just a mama's girl!
-Sleeping much better stretches at night! However, she must be the world's lightest sleeper. She thrashes around her crib all night long. Sometimes I look at the monitor and cannot believe a child can be moving so much and still be sleeping. She is officially a tummy sleeper and will not even consider a 2 second nap now on her back.
- She is eating up a storm and at 14 weeks was 13.6lbs. She never stops eating and I am starting to think our night wakings are a habit and not from hunger. I have yet to let her "cry it out". :) 

-rolling from her back to her tummy...but doesn't really seem to care to do it much. She really likes to just chill on her back and swat at her toys. She will smile and do her tricks if we force her...but I think she would prefer we leave her alone! :) 

Both girls are SO wonderful. I just love them so much! Looking forward to what month 4 will bring!! :)
