The twins are 2 months old today. Has it been 2 months already? Oh wait...its only been 2 months?!
They are both doing pretty well...last weight check Jack was 10lbs 4oz and Mackenzie 9lbs 9oz. She is not gaining as well as we would like due to some reflux. Lately it has gotten worse and she generally cries every time she eats and wont eat much. We are using some medications and thickening her formula with rice cereal trying to figure out what works. Hopefully we will get it under control soon and she will be back to her normal eating habits.
Both babies have started to smile a little bit, Mackenzie definately smiles more than Jack. They both enjoy play time and like to look around-but they like their naps too!
We are generally on a 3hr schedule with them...eat (30 mins.), play (10-45 minutes), sleep; lather, rinse, repeat! They generally get fussy and show sleepy signs before the 45 minutes of play time is up though. If one baby gets hungrier sooner I will try to feed the other as well just to keep them on the same schedule. Although lately with Mackenzie struggling to eat we try to feed her every 2hrs but Jack is still doing well with the 3hr schedule...as they get older and are awake more we will change it to a 4hr cycle.
Jack is able to sleep a good 6-7hr stretch at night, Mackenzie was sleeping a good 5-6hr stretch but right now we are waking her every 2-3hrs to try to eat.

I see a little bit of my brother in Mackenzie!! Cant wait to see them both! And their parents too!! It has been a year!!
It's nice to see pictures of you and the twins. We enjoyed our time with you in October, and we're looking forward to Christmas. We will have great fun with 3 babies along with the 3 and 5 year olds!! Be safe, and we will see you soon.
Love,
