Four Months

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend.

This weekend, the Twinks turned four months. On one hand, I wonder where the time went. It seems like they were just born yesterday. On the other, I can't imagine life without them.

I am thankful for daylight savings time. It means they went to bed a little earlier last night and woke up a little later today. Hope we can keep this new schedule. They are still sleeping through the night consistently. It's easily been over a month since one of them have woken up in the middle of the night.

They are really starting to show their personalities now. F is so outgoing and truly happy. G is starting to smile more and more each day and goes from 0-to-60 when it's time to eat. No mistaking that cry!

In addition to professional hot-tubber and sunbather, F has decided to add "Lounge Singer" to his resume. 'Ol Blue Eyes better watch out for Young Blue Eyes. I know I am going to regret this and embarrass myself, but what the heck. You only live once, right? Click on the picture:

This weekend, I went to the "large" twins club sale. Like the sale last weekend, the pickins were slim when it came to boy clothes, but there were racks-and-racks-and-racks of adorable little girl clothes. Since I am 6' tall, it is very hard for me to buy such small size clothes. Even though I see them every day, it's hard to visualize their proportions when they are not with me. The other challenge is that the sizes vary so much. An outfit that says 3 months can be twice as small as another that says 3-month. Therefore, you really can't go by sizing labels. So, I think I ended up buying some summer clothes that are too big and winter may be here by the time they do eventually fit. Oh well - no big deal.

I know this white dress from a designer in London (but made in the Phillipines) will only fit G for about two minutes (and stay puke-free for 30 seconds, if we're lucky), but at $2.50 I just couldn't resist:

On Saturday, they went in for their four-month checkup. G weighs 12 lbs.10 oz. and F weighs 13 lbs. 9 oz. Even though he is almost a pound heavier than her, he is in the 25% for height and weight and she is in the 25% for weight and 50% for height (so a tall, slim ballerina so far).

They both had their shots - so they were both a little more tired and grumpy for the past couple days, but at least we know why. On Saturday, they went five hours between one of their feedings. By the time they woke up, you would have thought the world was coming to an end.
For the past three weeks or so, when they've cried there are tiny tears. Poor babies.

The doctor is very pleased with both twins' development and said it would just take time for her digestive system to fully develop and for her to stop being so pukey.

On Sunday, we went to music class. There was another five-month-old there and he was almost 1 1/2 times the size of these guys. It's strange how babies can vary so much in their size in the beginning.
