4 Month Check-Up

We just got back from the doctor's office and since the babies are sleeping I thought I would take a minute to get this done now. Both babies are growing great and healthy, nothing really to report except weight and height. Miss Aubrey, (shown here before the doctor came in) weighs in at 14lbs and 7oz and is 24 1/2 inches long. She is in the 50-75% ...they didn't give me an exact number this time, just a range...I am a little disappointed. But she is great and took her shots like a champ. It was a little bit sad actually, she fell asleep with me holding her waiting for the nurse to bring in the shots and woke up to a needle getting jabbed in her leg...poor baby! I bet she won't fall asleep there again! :)

Mr. Spencer weighs in at 14lbs 11oz and is 24 3/4inches long...he is finally bigger than his sister again! He fell behind by a couple ounces over the last couple months, but is finally pulling ahead again. It helps that he is keeping his formula down better, and he is a pro at eating cereal now...(she could care less and spits out about half of what I am trying to shovel in!) He is also healthy and in the same 50-75% range for boys. He took his shots like a trooper, even though I forgot to bring his pacifier...bad Mommy! I am so used to him having one in his mouth that I didn't really check when I moved him from the swing to the car seat and it was laying in the swing when we got home.
He managed to settle down without it though and they both fell asleep in the car on the way home. (see below) Hopefully they won't get too fussy today and get good sleep tonight...we shall see!
