I have 4 month old twins, who were born 2 months early. As of today, they're doing phenomenal. Both have put on SO much weight since birth. My son, Ashton, is now 14 lbs (he was 4lbs 5oz @ birth) and my daughter, Carly, is 13 lbs (she was 4lbs 11oz @ birth). Both can hold their heads up really well, they both can also hold their heads up while on their tummy. Ashton actually rolled over once from his tummy to back about a week ago (he hasn't done it since). Both coo/babble @ my husband & I all the time and they smile :) And of course, the most important thing is they both sleep through the night! Makes a very happy mommy & daddy!
Jasper is 3.5 months old. He can roll over from back to belly and from belly to back. He tries to pull himself up already but I'm hoping he doesn't do that yet! Jasper loves rattles and will grab them out of your hand and shake them with delight. He also loves his play mat and likes to grab all of the overhead toys. He has really good head control and he likes to sit in his little play seat. He sticks everything in his mouth. He babbles non-stop and loves to laugh. He is a little over 12lbs and is 26" long.
I have been using sign language with him since he was born. He has gotten to the point where he recognizes the signs and will kick his feet and smile if he wants what I offer him. So far he recognizes the signs for: milk, diaper change, go to sleep, and bath. It really helps me figure out what he wants and he rarely cries as a result. I am hoping he will start using the signs starting around 6 months.
Lexi will be 5 months on May 9th. I can't believe how time has flown by! Lexi has officially found her feet! I think they're her favorite play thing, she just likes to sit back and hold onto her toes. She can roll over back to belly, and if she wanted to she could roll over belly to back...she's just not adventurous. lol. Lately she's been moving her legs while she's on her belly trying to figure out how to scoot. If she could figure out how to get her arms working I think she'd be trying to crawl. She can sit up assisted, but when I let go of her her belly rests on her legs and she tries to push up with her hands on her feet. Hopefully she learns to sit up on her own soon.
At her 4 month appt she was nearly 26" long and weighed 13 pounds 9 ounces.
I have twin girls that were 2 months premature. They are now almost 4 months old. I cannot believe how fast the time has gone by! Today they are smiling alot, babbling and moving around a lot. They move all around their crib at night and when I get them in the morning they are on the complete opposite side that I put them on. My girls aren't sitting up on their own entirely yet but can sit up just fine with a Bobby pillow behind them. It wont be long now!
Oh and as of 3 months 3 weeks Taylor was 12.14 lbs and Madison was 9 lbs even :)
