4 months old!

The boys are officially 4 months old! They visited the pediatrician yesterday and she was very pleased with their health and how they are growing. Tim had to take the morning off to come to the appointment. There are a lot of crazy things I do by myself with all 3 kids. Attempting to go to the doctor by myself for a well child visit and vaccines is a realm of craziness I haven't entered, yet.  I took 4 month pictures today, I'll post those later. Let's just say we may need to do a retake tomorrow.

Here are the official stats.

Everett James- 25.5 inches tall and 15lbs 4 oz (72nd percentile for height and 58th for weight)
Sullivan Jeffrey-25.25 inches tall and 14lbs 11 oz (63rd percentile for height and 46th for weight)

At 4 months old the boys are so much fun. They both love to "talk", smile and laugh at Tim and I and sometimes Sofia. They watch our dog Frodo a lot. They even interact with each other. Last night Tim gave Sofia a bath and positioned the boys across from each other and they were cooing back and forth to one another. Everett rolled over from front to back about 10 times last week. He hasn't been doing it as much this week. Sullivan is still working on it. Sullivan is probably the most laid back baby I've ever met. Everett is a people person, he LOVES to interact with people, he seems to be a bit of Mama's guy. Both boys love to be sung to and and really love playing patty cake. Sullivan sleeps through the night, every night. Everett has been waking up 1-2 times per night and he eats 6-8oz when he wakes up. We talked to the pediatrician about this and she just explained that he needs to eat more because of his growth and the fact that he was born 5 weeks early. Sullivan isn't far behind his brother in growth, he just does most of his eating during the day. We are going to wait another month to start rice cereal. Here are the pictures from today's photo shoot, enjoy!

I started with Sullivan today who was in a fantastic mood!



It's becoming quite difficult to get them both smiling in the same picture.

I LOVE MY BOYS!


I love Sully's pout face. He is a master at working his lower lip.

Everett is starting to fade.


Time to end the photo shoot!

Everett, still refusing to smile.
