Update (5 months+8 days)

  1. Olivia turns over from her back to her belly many times every day. Finn can't do that yet.
  2.  Finn can bounce and jump in his Jolly Jumper or in the Jumperoo, Olivia can't do that yet.
  3. They both smile a lot now.
  4.  Finn laughed first, and giggles more (still uncommon at this point), Olivia laughs a little but it's very rare. (video above this post)
  5. They are both ticklish and we can use this to get giggles out of them. (Kiss attack)
  6. They both grab pretty well now, especially my hair!
  7. Olivia discover her feet first, two weeks later Finn discovered his. They love grabbing their feet, so I cut off the feet on one of Finn's sleepers.
  8. They love playing with anything that makes a crinkly sound.
  9.  The swing is still fun, but they are starting to prefer more active stuff like the Jolly Jumper.
  10. Olivia can get out of a swaddle better than Finn.
  11. Olivia is so stubborn! If she wants to do something she'll never give up. Determined.
  12. They both drool so much. It's unbelievable. Olympic, world-class drooling.
  13. As a result of the drooling, Finn makes a gargling sound when he lies on his back. He just lies there and gargles away.
  14. They sleep in separate rooms upstairs, still swaddled.
  15. They nap at 10 am and 2 pm and then in bed at 8 pm. They wake up many times through the night (3 times) but just to get food. They get up sometime between 6 and 7:30am usually.
  16. They are both in a lot of pain right now with the teething. We use Tylenol, Hylands Teething tabs, anything that might help. Tylenol helps a bit, but they are still in pain a lot. I am dying for them to get those teeth!
  17. Olivia has an appointment on January 3rd to get her under-tongue snipped. We hope she'll gain weight fast once eating is easier.
  18. Finn had physio-therapy weekly for his crooked neck (congenital torticollis). He hates the stretches we have to do with him. We stopped doing them while he had his cold.
  19. They are still on only breast-milk, mostly expressed. Finn breast-feeds occasionally but Olivia can't due to her tongue-tie.
  20. They both went bald in one little patch on the back of their head where the head lies on the mattress.
