4 Months and Growing Fast

Another month came and went...the boys have discovered many new things this past month and are much more interactive. They laugh at just about anything we say or do, which is too cute! Pete and I now think we are SOO funny. They also talk back in their own baby language. They have really started to notice that they do in fact have a brother that is always there. I will find them laying by each other just staring and reaching for each other. As a mother this is one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. They also have really discovered Cooper this past month. They look at him like he is a wild animal running around crazy in our house (not far from the truth). They like to pet him and laugh when he goes crazy when someone comes to the door. 

The boys have tried some new food, they now eat cereal (oatmeal and rice) and have also tried some fruit (pears, apples & bananas).  At first they didn't love the cereal, actually they both screamed and cried, but soon learned to like it. Things got better when we mixed some fruit in and now they scoop it up... most of the time. 

  After Henry recovered from his first nasty cold and Colton from his surgery it was time to enforce more of a schedule for the boys. They still sleep great at night, 8-8 typically, but now take a more scheduled morning, afternoon and sometimes evening nap. They're also down to 4 feedings, 3 with cereal. This has really opened up our world and allowed us to be out and about more. Before it was a little bit of a free for all and I couldn't really plan a set time where I didn't have to worry about feedings.  But now we can venture out much more in our day as they're much more in sync with naps and feedings. 

Another big milestone reached this month...Colton learned to roll over from back to belly and belly to back. Henry shortly followed but will only go belly to back. Soon they will be on the move... then I will really be in trouble! 

Time continues to fly by and each day gets to be more and more fun with the boys.
