4 month check up

The twins had their 4 month check up and they are growing like weeds. The pediatrician says they are doing great, growing right on target. Chance is still a little smaller, but he is indeed growing. We are praying that one day soon, he will have a major growth spurt and will pass up his sister. Has not happened yet, but I have a feeling that it will. They got shots today and actually did pretty well. There was some crying and a couple of late reactions to the injections, but they did great! I took the both of them to the doctor by myself for the first time, so comforting them after shots was very interesting. Thank goodness for Nurse Tori, she is always such a help with the babies. We talked to the doctor about feedings and starting solid foods. We are definitely not starting cereal until 5 months and we are keeping them on the same amount of formula they are on now. They are drinking 6oz. per feeding and seem to be very satisfied with that, so increasing their intake seems unnecessary right now. Here are the twins stats:

Chance:

- weight 13lbs. 1oz. (15%)

- length 22 3/8 inches (<3%)>

- head size 15 3/4 inches (10%)

Brynlee:

- weight 13lbs. 13oz (60%) our little chunk

- length 23 1/4 inches (10%)

- head size 15 3/4 inches (25%)

As you can tell, they are absolutely growing! She was very pleased with the progress they have made and will not need to see them until 6 months. We are so blessed to have such healthy twins!

love to you all!
