4 Months Old

The Twins are four months old now. They are both pretty happy babies and are mommy's babies. But luckily not too much that they won't go to other people. They just always demand my attention when I can't always give it to them (such as when it is time to make dinner or clean).

Bella is still my delicate little angel face. She weighs 14 pounds 1 ounce putting her in the 56th percent. She is 25 3/4 inches tall, in the 92nd percent. That makes her tall for her weight, making her look pretty skinny even though she is a healthy size. She is super sweet all the time and easy going. She is more patient now but still has her limits. When you reach those limits, she will turn bright red while screaming. But she is easily consoled if she gets what she needs.

Tristan is my mama's boy. He weighs a wopping 16 and a half pounds and is in the 77th percent. He is 27 inches tall and 96th percent. His head is an inch bigger than Bella's. He is still pretty proportional in his growth, just big. That makes him 2 1/2 pounds bigger and some people think he doesn't look like the same age. When he looks at me he makes me feel like I am the only girl in the world. He is so cuddly and I call him my teddy bear. He looks at me like he is in love and I eat it up. He loves my attention and makes me melt with his bright eyes and handsome smile.

I am still enjoying almost every minute as a stay at home mom. I love all my children and they show me how much they love me in every laugh and smile.

Rolling Update

Both babies are officially rolling over all the time. they even try to roll over eachother.

Eat Up!

We are starting to give Bella and Tristan rice cereal. Since it is not nutrtionally necessary, it is just to get them used to eating and for fun and in hopes that it will keep them full longer at night. That was the results with Lilly, anyway. So, much to my surprise, Bella ate way better than Tristan. She slurped it all down quickly. He kept getting his tongue in the way and couldn't coordinate his mouth very well. Not that he didn't like it, he just prefers mommy milk stait from the source to waiting for each bite from a spoon. They are both getting better each night but Bella still wakes up at night. Tristan most nights sleeps through the night. But some nights they take turns waking up every couple hours. Needless to say, I am perfecting the laying down possition while feeding, cause I am a zombie in the middle of the night.

Trick-or treat

This year we actually took Lilly out in the streets to trick-or-treat. She was dressed as her favorite cartoon character, Kailan. Bella was a pink kitten which is very fitting for her cute face and personality. Tristan was a dragon and that is good for him, too. He loves to scowl and grunt. It was fun and Lilly had a blast going door to door.

Painting

I have been spending lots of my few and precious free time painting my kids' rooms. First, I painted Lilly's room purple (or as she likes to call it, "purplicious" {such a fun book}). Then we found these cute sparkly appliques for her walls. I moved her to the other room and now put the twins by our room. I then painted their room bright green and got ambitious and painted animals on their walls. I got them a second crib finally, because they started to crowd eachother. And now I moved them to sleep in their own room. I only wish they would sleep longer every night.

Bonding

Our babies have been noticing eachother more, lately. It is so cute to see them stare at eachother. I can't wait till they can interact and play together.

Big Boy

Tristan already rolled over a few weeks ago. And the next day he was rolling more and more. He rolls both ways now. He is definatly developing faster than Lilly did. Bella rolls to her stomach but still can't get her arm out from under her. And she rolled from her stomach to back on accident once. Soon I am going to be chasing them around. Life is about to get real interesting.

Pumpkin Pictures and Spooky Jammies

I love dressing my kids in holiday outfits. So they all had Halloween jammies. I also love to do pumpkin pictures. So fun and festive.
