These two little cutie pies are 4 months old! I love their funny expressions. They are so full of life and bring us so much joy! They are both laughing the full belly laughs, they like watching T.V. and noisy toys. They are on a pretty good sleep cycle. They go to bed and are sleeping through the night...pretty much. They still have their "nights" here and there. They are both great snugglers. They love being held. Henry likes to put his face right into my neck, Charlie still kind of stiffens up at times, (arches his back like he has reflux) but likes to face out where he can see what's going on. He is so very patient, but once he has reached the end of his rope he gets really mad! He does this growl, yell thing that I think is too cute!
Henry
14.4 lbs 25inches head 16.7 inches 53rd percentile
Charlie
11.8 lbs 23.25 inches head 15.4 inches 3rd percentile
They are both growing well and following their growth curves nicely.
Dr. also found that Henry has 2 ear infections! :( Poor little honey. He's been so sweet and smiley lately too! Both babes are teething, I cant believe they'll have choppers! It sure isn't easy on them though. It makes sleeping and breathing (because of runny noses) and nursing and just being, painful! I just think they're too teeny for teeth! Goodness!
We recently started them on some rice cereal and they seem to be doing just fine with it. In fact, Henry LOVES it and snarfs it up as fast as I can feed it to him. I give him about 2 Tbsp or less mixed with warm water or formula. Charlie still spits it out but I think it's good practice for him for when he's more ready for solids. I was a little surprised when the pediatrician said we could introduce all/any solids already! Anything we want, even citrus!? Things change so much! With Calvin and Ben we were told to wait until baby is about 6 months, and not introduce citrus or fruit until 1 year. I think I'll stick with the rice for now and then try some oatmeal, then around 6 months veggies and lastly fruit. I enjoy introducing new things to the babies and watching their reactions. At the same time I feel like each new thing and next step is them getting bigger! I want to slowdown time! I can't even express how much I love being their mommy! My heart is so full! <3
