Avery and Ryan turned 4 months today. We were able to get a Sat. morning appointment with our pediatrician, which works well for us. Avery weighed in over 12 pounds and Ryan was over 11 pounds. There is over a pound difference between the two, which wasn't that surprising since you can really feel it when you pick them up and dress them. Avery is our good eater and loves to take lots of naps. Ryan is our fussier eater and is more active, smiley, and alert during the day. Avery is in the 25th percentile and Ryan is below the 5th percentile in weight. Hopefully, he catches up soon. The Dr. is happy with their development and thought they were right on track with everything, if not ahead in a few categories. She even gave us the go ahead to start trying solid foods, beginning with rice cereal. I don't think we were prepared to start so soon! After the appointment, we stopped by the bank to get there saving accounts set up so we could check that off the list. And, we picked up some cereal. Later that day, we decided to see what the kids thought of the cereal. We started with Avery and she wasn't in the best mood after the shots and only had a couple of spoonfuls. Ryan on the other hand really seemed to be into real food and ate the rest of the bowl.
Milestones during month 3:
-Able to grasp burp clothes, rattles, my hair, shirt, pacifier on occasion
-Ryan is definitely attached to his little bear and Avery likes her little bunny
-Sitting in the bumbo
-Batting at the things hanging over them in the bouncer
-Sleeping through the night
-Continue to give lots of smiles and cooing
-Rolling from tummy to back
-Putting their hands in their mouths. Avery even started sucking her thumb. We are going to work on breaking that habit now versus later!
