4 months

Caleb and Logan had their 4 month check-up tonight. Here's the stats: Caleb is 23 3/4 inches long (5th percentile) and 10lbs 4oz (1st percentile). Logan is 23 1/2 inches long (3rd percentile) and 10lbs 8oz (1st percentile).

So I've still got a couple of little guys! I could tell they hadn't put on much weight since last time. The doctor isn't super concerned yet because in all other regards they are healthy and happy. They are content and not hungry all the time, they aren't sickly at all, and they are developing like they should (rolling, head control, eye contact, grabbing for things...). He does want us to get some extra calories in them though and try to get them gaining. We'll be going in for a weight check in a couple weeks and maybe a couple more before their 6 month check-up.

Sooooo we'll be starting them on cereal. Ugh. I was really hoping it would be awhile before we had to start that. Feeding is relatively 'simple' right now (as simple as it can be with two babies...) and adding solids just makes things more complicated. Oh well! My boys need to pack on the pounds! For those of you who are weirded out by nursing, skip the rest of this paragraph. :) I've done quite a bit of pumping and have tons of milk in the freezer - it's come in handy here and there, but now I'm really glad I have that all stockpiled! I'm going to need it to give these boys some extra.

Caleb has a spot in his mouth that looked like thrush, so we'll have to give him some medication for that. We still have some problems with his eye gooping up a little, but it doesn't appear to be infected so it's probably just a blocked tear duct.

They got shots again at this appointment. They didn't do too bad!

I think that's it, hope I'm not forgetting anything...
