- Olivia turns over from her back to her belly many times every day. Finn can't do that yet.
- Finn can bounce and jump in his Jolly Jumper or in the Jumperoo, Olivia can't do that yet.
- They both smile a lot now.
- Finn laughed first, and giggles more (still uncommon at this point), Olivia laughs a little but it's very rare. (video above this post)
- They are both ticklish and we can use this to get giggles out of them. (Kiss attack)
- They both grab pretty well now, especially my hair!
- 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.
- They love playing with anything that makes a crinkly sound.
- The swing is still fun, but they are starting to prefer more active stuff like the Jolly Jumper.
- Olivia can get out of a swaddle better than Finn.
- Olivia is so stubborn! If she wants to do something she'll never give up. Determined.
- They both drool so much. It's unbelievable. Olympic, world-class drooling.
- As a result of the drooling, Finn makes a gargling sound when he lies on his back. He just lies there and gargles away.
- They sleep in separate rooms upstairs, still swaddled.
- 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.
- 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!
- Olivia has an appointment on January 3rd to get her under-tongue snipped. We hope she'll gain weight fast once eating is easier.
- 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.
- They are still on only breast-milk, mostly expressed. Finn breast-feeds occasionally but Olivia can't due to her tongue-tie.
- They both went bald in one little patch on the back of their head where the head lies on the mattress.
