4 month checkup


















Well, we had our 4 month checkup at the pediatrician's one week ago today. He is very proud at how well they are doing. He also suspects their development is somewhere between their actual age (4 months) and their corrected age (for how early they were born, 2 months early). Developmentally they are only 2 months, even though they're 4 months old. However, they're doing so well, the doctor thinks they're ahead of 2 months. That's good news! They're also getting huge. Will was 15 lbs 1 oz., Xander was 14 lbs 5 oz, and Grace as 13 lbs 1 oz. He did recommend they take a little bit less formula, but we are not starting cereal or baby food for another 2 months. All in all, they're doing very well! They got another 4 immunizations, each, so they were a little out of sorts for several days last week.

We've been getting outside, enjoying the nice weather. Taking walks, going shopping (even garage saleing with mom and grandma on Friday) and going to church. Here are some pictures from the last few weeks.

Middle right: Will and Grace on the floor waiting for a bottle, but in a good mood.
Middle left: Xander sitting in this new chair we have called a Bumbo. It enables infants to sit by themselves. He doesn't like it much yet, because it's still hard to hold up his big noggin.
Bottom: Grace making a funny face while sitting in the bouncy seat.
