4 Months Already?!?






















My how time flies when you are having fun!! It's hard to believe that the twins are already 4 months old. Debbie and I took them for their check up and Syd's flu mist on the 22nd. Dr. Busceme was very impressed with both Carlee and Kalle's progression. Carlee weighed 12lbs 4.5 ozs and was 23 inches. Kalee weighed 12 lbs 6.5 ozs and was 22 1/2 inches. We were shocked that Kalee passed Carlee in weight. Carlee has always weighed more. We did a few double takes to make sure we didn't have them mixed up. :) Dr. Busceme even listened to Kalee's heart twice to make sure she couldn't hear a murmur. Carlee is the one with the murmur but it is so small Dr. Busceme can never hear it. She just wanted to make extra sure we didn't have them confused. Debbie and I were pretty positive we had the right names with the right baby. It is getting difficult to tell some days and when you get use to one baby always weighing more, it does get you to second guessing yourself. Anyways, both girls were in the 25% for their weight and about 5% for their length. Dr. Busceme said that was awesome!
Carlee and Kalee are taking about 6 ozs of Prosobee formula every 4 hours during the day. They are sleeping from about 10:30 to 6:00 at night. They are wearing size 1 diapers. We are still using diapers from the shower. I haven't bought not one diaper yet, which is awesome! They are mainly wearing 0-3 months in clothes, but can wear some 3-6 months.
The girls got 3 vaccinations that day and another dose of the rotovirus vaccine which is oral. Sydney was so funny. She said, "this is going to be loud!" She covered her ears while the girls were screaming and yes, she was right, it was loud!! Sydney also got her flu mist that day. We should all be well protected from the flu this year. Now we start praying that it works!
Carlee and Kalee are both smiling more and more each day. They love to babble and coo at us as well. They are just going through such a cute stage. Kalee decided to roll over on Tuesday. She rolled from her belly to her back. Last night she rolled from her back to her belly. I told Carlee that she was behind and needed to catch up to her sister. :)
