Our boys are so big! And they are finally growing at a more acceptable rate...both up over 8 lbs now! (official weights coming again next week) Our newborn clothes are becoming too short as they grow so tall! I just found another few adorable newborn outfits in a bag in the closet, so I am sticking the boys in those for the next few days...and then we will pack away the box. I always thought this would be my favorite stage as I've always loved the little babies. I love holding them, their little baby moans and cries, the way the snuggle right up against me. And I am sad to have to box up the clothes they have worn for these past several months. (Felt the same way when I had to box up their preemie outfits). BUT, I am excited to watch them grow. I love that they are engaging their toys, smiling, laughing. I'm ready for them to have head control so I can hold both of them when they are crying without feeling like I've got some bobble-heads on my hands. I'm ready for them to space out the feedings so they can be awake for longer time periods to play. And I can't wait for them to start recognizing and interacting with each other!
I just put some size 1 diapers in the drawer for nighttime since they are sleeping longer. They swallow them up. I don't know what 8 pound baby would have thighs big enough to fill those holes! And then I saw their preemie diaper from the hospital. Look at where we've been, where we are now, and where we're going!
The same with their little outfits
To think those preemie outfits were so big on them we had to roll the sleeves up twice! And now at 5 months old we are graduating to the 0-3 month size. Way to go Warren and Dean!
