Update - How're You all going?

Hi,

Michaela had her 4 month checkup today (she was 4 months exactly yesterday).

She weighs 6.7 kg (14.75 lbs), has a head circumference of 42 cm (16.5 inches) and length of 67 cm (26.4 inches).  She is between 50-75 percentile on weight and head size, and > 95% on height.  She's going to be a tall girl.

Is doing every thing she should be and doing great.  How are your babies doing?

We are all doing really well....still breastfeeding, and pumping at work.  I must be producing cream, because Nathan is a rolly polly baby!!  He is about 16 lbs, and will be 4 months next week, and that is strickly breastfeeding!!  

Dad watches him during the day, and I have him at night...Dad gets the raw end of the deal!  He sleeps about 11 hours at night...bedtime is sometime between 8-8:30 PM, he eats, gets a bath, have some tummy time, then read a book...and goes directly in his crib...within 10 minutes he has put himself to sleep!!  Then he wakes up between 7-7:30 PM...like clockwork!!  He is awesome!!  Unfortunatly for Dad...he only gets about 2x 2 hour naps if he is lucky during the day.

He is babbling up a storm, drooling everywhere, he rolls only if he is put on his side, smiles, and started chuckling about a week ago.  He definatly recognizes Mom and Dad.  He loves to lay in his crib and watch the mobile, and loves to sit in his swing and look at himself in the mirror...he will fall asleep in the swing for about 30 min nap at times as well....

I can't wait until he is sitting up by himself....he is getting heavy...I try to switch to my left arm sometimes, but I am so prominate with my right...I am developing quite a bicep!!

he tries to roll over if i put him on his side.  he loves playing in his toys, like he walker and jumper.  he sleeps in his crib and has been for more than 2 weeks.  it was hard but a good choice.  his room is connected to mine so its not like hes far away. literally just 3 feet.

Sarah will catch up =)  With my twins they kept telling me they'll do everything at the same time~NOT TRUE!  One was two months ahead on everything.  First teeth, rolling over, crawling, walking...EVERYTHING exactly two months behind the other.  Every baby is different, just enjoy her now =)  They grow up too fast!!

Probably as you all know, Myra had her "3 month" check up just a couple weeks ago and she was 15.5 pounds and 25 inches long.  She was in the 96% for both.  She doesn't have her 4 month check-up until June 16th (exactly 4 months old then).  

Myra's two bottom teeth are just about to poke through her gums.  She had a fever for the past couple days from it, but nothing high or serious.  I can feel a difference when she nurses too.  Just feels different, not it a good way either.  She's been rolling from back to front for a couple weeks now.
