30 Weeks Old

Charlotte & Ruby are 30 weeks old today. Charlotte rolled over on her own last Tuesday afternoon, but the shock of it was so great that she immediately began to cry, which then made Ruby cry. She has rolled over since then without any tears. Ruby has discovered windows and the outside she can see through them. We changed their nap schedule from 3 naps a day to only 2, which is going surprisingly well since my expectation of extremely cranky babies was wrong. They now sleep for about an hour in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, with their nights staying the same (12 hours). They eat 2 meals a day, breakfast (oatmeal and fruit mix) and lunch (vegetables). We do not take them back to the pediatrician for a check up until they are 9 months old, so I weighed myself while holding each of them and they are both close to 19lbs already. Enjoy the many, many photos and 2 videos below!

Despite always being the photographer behind the lens, I can hold the little camera awkwardly in front of me as well to ensure that there are some photos of me with Charlotte & Ruby (although not the greatest of quality).
