i was blogging when i had the twins but didnt ever really do monthly updates. now i wish i did cause i am wanting to remember the specifics about what their milestones were & comparing them to finnick's. one thing i'm glad i did blog was when they slept through the night. so now i know the twins slept from 9-5 around their 2 month mark, so that is the goal with finnick!
Right now Finnick is:
-waking up once at night (falling asleep at 10-11pm, and waking around 2-3am. the only problem we are having most nights is it takes him a while to fall back tosleep. like sometimes 2 hours) he sucks in alot of air when he eats. and needs to be burped alot after.
-he doesnt smile yet, but you can tell when he wants to cause his eyes get reallybright when you talk to him.
-the boys still act so sweet towards him. i love how bastien acts genuinely excited about him & says "aww..you're so cute!"
finnick is the sweetest baby. i've noticed that i just want to enjoy so much of him because as fun as twins are, in the beginning-you get jipped just a little bit on loving thenewborn stage. if you want to enjoy them at all, you have to have to be so strict about getting them on same sleeping schedules (or you lose your mind!) and you cant relax at all when you're feeding them bottles, it's alot of maneuvering & multitasking (feeding one while burping the other) i look forward to feeding finnick cause i can just relax and sit with him. (while watching all the seasons of 'friends' of course.) i think since having one again after having the two- i am alot more relaxedright now about him not sleeping in his crib or laying by me in bed, but at the same time i dont want it to bite me in the butt later. so i want to try to establish more of a routine like i did with the others. he's only 4 weeks & the twins didnt even leave our room until they were like 6 weeks so i'm not really worried.
i love little finnick & the sweet sweet spirit he's brought in our home. i cant get over just how sweet he is. can one baby be sweeter than the others? i'm sure i felt the same about all of them. basically what i'm saying is, if you've had twins- have another one cause it will be noticeably more enjoyable!
keeping it real though- i do feel way behind on almost everything! my house is a disgusting disaster, i cant seem to ever remember to get something decent prepared by the time dinner time comes, and i am eating my feelings right now.(50 percent off mini cadbury eggs anyone?) i'm sure this has got to be pretty normal & vaguely remember feeling this way before. thank goodness for the weekends. steven is such a help with everything, he cleaned this morning, played trains with the boys, and is feeding finnick right now as i blog:) these weekends are what get me through the week! and looking at these cute faces, too i guess!
what the boys did all day.

I'm so happy the twins slept that good that soon! Good luck with adorable Finnick! Hyrum is still waking up multiple times and Brody didn't sleep through the night till he was a year. UGH! I don't get how mom's train their kids to sleep.. I'm BAD at it! haha!
Little Finnick is just too cute!! :) But then again, aLL your boys are :)
I agree that Finnick is such a sweet little boy, but I think all of your boys are equally wonderful and I love those pics you posted of them :)
