4 Months!

I can't believe it! I feel like I just wrote the 3 month post! (Well, that's because I did just write it... Any who...)

Lorelei:

Weight/Length: 11 lbs 10 oz 23.25 inches

Hair and Eyes: Her hair is pretty light, but every so often we catch this tint of red. NO idea where that came from. It may just be the random lighting. But it is getting pretty long on top! And so soft. Eyes are big and blue! 

Diapers: Size 1 - though they are getting tight. 

Clothing: 3 month onesie, but she are almost too short. 3 month outfits fit great. We will be moving to 3-6 month onesies soon. I can't believe that either!!

Favorite Things: Still loves the big swing. She always ends up in that one. She likes the play mat and is starting to like her giraffe lovie. 

Likes: She likes to snuggle up on me. SO sweet. She likes sucking her fingers/entire hand. So that's lovely. She is starting to talk and it is adorable. 

Dislikes: There's not much she dislikes. If I had to pick, probably tummy time. She just puts her head down and lays there. lol Not much working out going on. 

Eating: We moved up to 6 ounces with some oatmeal and she is actually eating it all. She hardly ever spits up so her cheeks are getting to big- compared to sister. She is a great eater. Can't believe we will be introducing real food soon. So 6 ounces at 8 am, 12p, 4p, 8p.

Sleeping: We stopped the night feedings!! So they have slowly been learning to sleep through the night. For the most part she does well! Around 4 she will start stirring and I can keep her quiet for an hour. Then by 5 or 5:30 she is really getting fired up, I will put her in the swing and she will sleep till 7 or till when we wake her up. 

Milestones: Sitting up like a big girl in our laps. No rolling yet, but that's ok. We visited a near doc for sister's head (more on that below), and she checked out L too. Turns out her head s flat and flatter on one side. So we just need to work more on tummy time and the way we sleep.  

Eloise:

Weight/Length: 12 lbs 24.5 inches

Hair and Eyes: Hair is still growing back and it is basically white! It almost looks like she doesn't have hair! 

Diapers: Size 1

Clothing: Same as Lorelei. 3 month onesies are getting too short. But the two piece outfits still fit.  

Favorite Things: Loves her paci, but likes to smile so she is conflicted a lot. :)  Also likes the play mat. 

Likes: Loves being held, smiling and cooing, looking around. Loves reaching out and playing with things. And LOVES bath time now! She's a little fish!

Dislikes: being put down or feeling like no one is paying attention to her. (Can you say Diva?)

Eating: 6 oz every feeding with oatmeal. She is still a "happy spitter." The reflux meds has helped minimally. She just spits so much!! :( I wish she could keep all her food down. 

Sleeping: Since we stopped the 2 am feeding we are learning to sleep through the night. We are almost there. 

Milestones: Rolling from back to tummy. And enjoying tummy time. Visited the cranial doc for her soft spot closing too soon. They weren't too worried as of now. As long as her head keeps growing we should be ok. Just have to keep watching her. Praying no surgery. Also praying we stop spitting up. It is getting out of hand. 

Mom's thoughts:
I'm not sure I can adequately put into words how much I love these little girls. Sometimes when we finally get them settled in the evening. I take one of them (Chris has the other) and go rock in their room. Sometimes I just get so overwhelmed thinking of the love and responsibility I have in my arms. It's these moments I love the most. My other new favorite is to turn on KLove and sing to the girls. They seem to enjoy it and to me it is easier than reading a book. So win-win, ha!
