Hess Times Three: On a Roll!!

It's hard to believe that our babies will be six months old in just a few more days! Where does the time go??? It seems like just yesterday we were holding tiny little 4 pound babies and getting VERY little sleep. And now here we are at six months and they barely look like the same babies! Everyone kept saying that the first few months would be a blur, and boy was that true! For those of you who are curious, here are the latest measurements:

Kayla: 13 lbs, 7 oz
Braden: 18 lbs, 9 oz
Daniel: 18 lbs, 2 oz

So you can see the boys have quadrupled their birth weight and then some! And Kayla is holding her own. I like to think that she'll always be the little one and have her big brothers to protect her. :)

Well, we're up to all kinds of new things around here. Last post we mentioned that Daniel and Kayla had started rolling over. Well, Braden joined the others just a couple of weeks later only his new thing is rolling from back to tummy. In fact, he almost always ends up on his stomach when we put him in his crib for the night. Sleeping on his belly has become his new favorite thing and we couldn't be more happy because he sleeps so soundly at night now...ahhh sweet relief!

Speaking of sleep, we're getting a lot more of that too now. We feed the babies one final time for the night at 10:30 (less than half of their normal feeding) and then put them back to bed and they will sleep until 7:00 AM. It is glorious! Kayla is still sleeping in the pack 'n play in our room because she still fusses on and off starting around 5:00 AM. But we're confident in time, she'll be sleeping soundly too. It is such a relief to get more solid sleep, it's amazing how much better we are feeling these days.

Other fun things the babies are doing now: laughing hysterically at any funny sound we make, turning their heads when we call their names, grabbing at toys, drooling like crazy, talking and babbling, blowing bubbles, trying to sit up, & looking at their hands and feet. It is so fun to see them learn new things and to do it in their own way.

We are very excited this time to be able to show you all some videos of the babies rolling over. Hope you enjoy!
