Month 4

FOUR months! Wow! Grayson and Jackson are growing, growing, growing!  They've gotten much easier in the past month too.  Praise the Lord! Their acid reflux and indigestion have almost totally gone away.  Whew!  I do not miss 2 babies crying after every time they ate!


Currently they...

  • smile:: all the time! when we get them out of their cribs after a nap, they hear our voice, they see our face, we tickle them, and especially during bath time! 
  • giggle:: especially at silly songs we make up, us yawning, and when we do Georgia cheers (G-E-O-R-G-I-A....Go Dawgs, Sic 'Em, Woof, Woof, Woof) they love it!!
  • rolling over:: Grayson has been for 3 or so weeks and Jackson for about a week; today Grayson began rolling over to his right and then next time to his left
  • drooling
  • have really flat heads:: ha.  but really if they don't even out we'll have to get a helmet for Grayson especially! it's really common among twins but mainly because they were preemies.  so we're doing a lot more tummy time and carrying them around.
  • eat only once during the night:: they go down around 8pm and eat again between 4-5am and then again at 8 when our day starts, but with two babies it feels like someone is waking up around every hour and needs help going back to sleep...but we're thankful to be getting more sleep than we have been in a few months!
  • focus on objects
  • follow objects with their eyes if you move them
  • scoot all over their crib while they sleep:: they're always in a different position if we have to go in their room
  • still fit in some 0-3 month and most 3 month clothes
  • swat at the animals hanging from their activity gym and bouncy seats
  • love watching TV:: they will wiggle themselves around so they can see the screen! so usually we turn it off so we can have more engaging time with them. I think this is a foreshadow of the future...
  • don't sleep as well when we're out and about:: they're more social and much more aware and alert of what's going on around them
  • escape their swaddles usually at least once during the night! stinkers!
  • put their fists in their mouths
  • weight around 10 lbs:: Grayson was 10 lbs 2 oz last week and Jackson was 10 lbs 12 oz
  • are 24 inches long
  • kick:: a lot!!
