4 Month Checkup

The girls went to their 4 month checkup today and they are just growing like weeds.

H1
Weight: 13lb 11o
Length: 24 inches
Head: 42 cm

H2:
Weight: 13lb 11oz
Length: 24 1/2 inches
Head: 42 cm


They did a great job even though they had to get their vaccines. 3 shots; 2 in the right leg and 1 in the left. As soon as they got them Grandma and I gave them their bottles to help get their mind off of it. It really did seem to help. They fell right asleep after that. Once we got home they took a long nap. I can tell they aren't feeling too good still; H1 especially. H2's ear infection is all clear now as well. I am glad we caught it so quickly.

I haven't been able to get very good pictures lately. They are just so wiggly all their photos come out blurry!

On another exciting note H1 rolled over from back to belly for the first time today! HOORAY!

Well, the girls are getting fussy again. Gotta skoot...photos coming soon, I promise!

4 Months Old

Today we are a whole 4 months old! Can you believe it? Neither can Mommy. When we went to the doctor the other day we got weighed again and we are getting HUGE! H1 is 13lb 8oz and H2 is 13lb 7oz. WOW!

For our 4 month birthday we went to visit Grandpa at work. He held us both and we just loved it. We thought he was very funny. H1 just kept giggling at him whenever he made funny faces at her. We showed off to everyone in the office and had fun visiting. Whenever we got home Nana came over and we had fun playing with her. We got a little fussy and sleepy and we took a good nap while Mommy and Nana held us.

We also went and got our new SuperYard for whenever we get a bit older. One of the ladies from the twins club was selling it and Mommy jumped on it! Whenever we start to walk I know we're going to try and get into everything and if Mommy ever want to leave the room we know we will be safe in something like this. It's really big and is going to be great for both of us!

Mommy will post new pictures of us tomorrow. Right now we are going to go take our baths!

Sick Baby

I took the girls to the doctor today. H2 has a cold and an ear infection. She's been miserable the past few days. H1 isn't sick but I know it will only be a matter of time. H2 is now on antibiotics and has some ear drops. Hopefully she'll get better soon.

Although it isn't a good "milestone" to reach; this was their first sick doctors appointment.

Grab That Toy!

Today we reached yet another milestone. The girls were sitting in their pods and I put their Whozits on the white area of the pod. Both of them reached out and grabbed them! It was such a great thing to see.


They seem to like playing a bit more now that they can pick up their toys better. There are still quite a few that they can't hold due to either the toys weight or bulk but little things (especially their blanket toys) they are all over. I am going to start trying different toys during the day and see if there are any that that can play with now that they couldn't before. I bet there is something in that box they'll enjoy. Maybe the rattles?!? I'll let you know.

Choppers and Cat Tails

Yesterday was a rough day. I had good reason to believe that the girls are both trying to cut their first tooth. And amazingly enough, they are coming in in the same place!!! Right bottom left. :-D I had to put them into separate cribs for the first time due to their crying. They kept on waking each other up squirming around and crying. (Poor babies!) It's great that they are getting their teeth in, but I don't like how much is was hurting them. They both screamed and cried for hours on end only settling down long enough to eat and take quick cat naps. There is nothing worse that hearing your child in pain. I just wanted to cry for them. Today we seem to be feeling a bit better. No crying to far. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I gave Kit a bath today. It was hilarious! At first she fought he tooth and nail not to get in the water but as soon as she calmed down and felt how nice and warm it was she was fine and I think actually enjoyed it. When she got out and I toweled her off she went and sat right in front of the girls and groomed for nearly 30 minutes. H1 dozed off watching her and H2 just couldn't keep her eyes off of her. They love watching Kit walk around and play.

I made the girls appointment for their 6 month pictures. I know I may be a little gung-ho about it but since it's around Christmas photo time I wanted to make sure we get the date and time that works for us. I got to get their 3 month photos hung. They'll only be able to be up for a few months!

I need to start working on the girls Halloween costumes. My cousin's wife Lisa sent the girls these tiger print onesies with their initials on them. So, they are going to be cats for Halloween. I am going to go to go look and find some strap on kitten ear and I'm going to try and make them some tails to pin on as well. I just love Halloween! I know it'll be awhile until they can get candy but it's not all about the candy...it's about the cuteness of the costumes!
