Three Month Old Update

Three months old. Wow we are getting so big!

At our doctor's appointment this month we had our first Polio vaccine. We did very well; not much crying at all.

Vladimir was 12lbs 8ozs and was 24 inches long. Waylon was 12lbs 3ozs and was 23 1/4 inches long. The big brother is finally the BIG brother! We have pretty big heads too. Both of our heads measure within the 50th percentile. As far as height and weight go we fall between the 25th and 50th percentile each, with Vladi being just under 50. Mommy and daddy are so glad that we have caught up to our peers and are on the growth charts. We are no longer playing catch-up!

We started taking yucky medicine called Zantac on the day before Thanksgiving. It has helped us to spit-up less. We are sleeping better now too, probably because of the medicine making our tummies feel better. Especially Waylon who never liked to nap during the day. Since we started taking the Zantac he is catching up on lots of ZZZzzzzzzzzs. Neither of us likes the taste of the syrup, Waylon especially hates it, but mommy manages to get it down our throats anyway. She is pretty good at tricking us into swallowing it when we are very hungry.

On Sunday we moved out of the Bachelor Pad in mommy and daddy's room and into our own room. Not only did we move into our own room but we each now have our own crib. No more nighttime dancing. Mommy was very sad about this. She slept on the pullout couch in our room for the past few nights just in case we needed her in the night. We still wake up two or three times in the night to eat. She and daddy are trying to get us on a better schedule but we are very hungry guys and just don't want to go that long without a meal.

Now that we each have our own crib we are more interested in each other during the day. I guess since we don't play with each other at night we sort of miss one another. We never looked at each other during the day until we were seperated at night. Neither of us seem to mind being in our own cribs though. We were out of room when we were sharing. We're just too big!
Our hair is growing in and it looks like we have a buzz cut. Everyone likes to rub our peach fuzz. Daddy likes to rub his face on the top of our heads. In some lights it looks like we might be red heads, in others it looks blonde. I guess only time will tell!

We went to the Thanksgiving Parade in Stamford and saw all of the giant balloons. We rode in our Baby Bjorns and slept part of the time. Afterwards the Baranellos came over and Jack and Ryan played with us for a while. They are big boys and we like them! Their mom, Jennifer, got us to take naps too. She is a baby professional.On Thanksgiving morning we sat in bed with mommy and daddy and watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. We liked it. Then we had baths and went to the McFarlands for dinner. Granma and Grandpa Wood were there too. The turkey was bigger than we were! We sat in the swing and the vibrate-y chair while the big people ate dinner. We were very good boys all day long.On Saturday mommy and daddy took us in Grandpa's minivan to the farm in Pennsylvania. It is called Adzentoivich Woods. Daddy cut down a Christmas Tree and we got to meet Rose and Frank, our neighbors. They are very nice. They gave us our first Christmas presents!
After visiting the neighbors we went to meet Diane Walsh. She is Grandma Adzentoivich's good friend. She and her husband keep an eye on the farm for mommy and daddy when they are not there. She thought we were pretty cool. We couldn't visit for too long because mommy had to drive us back home that same day and it was getting late.

We also met our Great Aunt Francie and our cousins Anne and Mark. Wow. They are so neat! Anne played on the floor with Waylon and Aunt Francie held Vladi. We had a nice time there. Aunt Francie is also a baby expert because she is our cousin Jonathan's Grandma! The baby wipes were still in the livingroom from his visit on Thanksgiving. This made diaper changing much easier for mommy.
