The Babies Fantastic

I can't think of anything too specific to report, so I will just think of things from the top of my head.

Ava seems so much older all of the sudden. She is really into pretend play with anything and everything she can find. She is also a complete parrot, she can and will repeat anything anyone says. She seems to also have a pretty good long-term memory now, at least it is better than it used to be and it goes pretty far back.

Linc is just getting bigger and bigger. He seems to be filling out quite a bit and is gaining some chunk to his arms and legs. For many weeks now he has been having a nightly fussy period that lasts a few hours, starting at 6:30pm (it was 5:30 before the time change). White noise and movement seem to help a lot. Right now he is in the swing asleep with an iPhone playing a white noise app in his ear. Haha.

His head is evening out a bit, but it's still uneven overall. It's encouraging the shape has changed in just the few weeks we have been repositioning him, so I am optimistic.

I am down to 25 lbs left to lose (of a total gain of 65) to get to my pre-pregnancy weight. I treated myself to some nicer workout clothes, which has been motivating me to keep working out a lot. I was wearing ratty old thin stuff I wore when I was pregnant, and don't fit into my old workout gear yet. I looked back in this blog and saw that after Ava, I was down to my original weight within 4 months, which is crazy (but I gained 50 with her). It's not going to be like that this time, but that is okay. I feel great right now.

Some pictures as of late:
