4 months

Wow, I can not believe the babies are 4 months old.  My husband and I was just talking about the scary few days when I was put on monitors in the hospital and just anticipating the day that our babies would come and wondering how big they were going to be, who they were going to look like, how we were going to prepare and etc....now they have been out of the hospital for 3 months and have just flourished. 

Sleep: we have the best babies in the world.  For the past month the babies have been going to bed at 8:30ish and sleeping through the night till about 6:00ish and if that's not the amazing part, when they get up at 6 they get fed and then fall back to sleep for another few hours.  Its amazing!  Although, we started a routine with them where they get a bath about 7:30 little bit of cuddling and reading a book, then off to bed they go. The only problem is they get so fussy after 8 PM it makes it hard to do anything afterwards.
Feeding: babies have been strictly on breast milk until their 4 month appointment and we were given the green light to start introducing solids.  Have not made much progress with the feeding.  They currently have a bottle of about 4 oz  every 3 hours.  Madison is a very slow eater, she takes her time and enjoys every drop. Jackson gets so impatient and just takes big gulps, you have to pace him by taking the bottle in and out of his mouth throughout the feeding till he slows down.

Diaper Size:  Madison just graduated to Stage 1 and Jackson has been in Stage one since about 3 months.



Weight: Jackson: 13 lb 7oz 
               Madison: 10 lb 14 oz 
  
Length: Jackson: 24 1/4 in
               Madison: 22 12 in
 
Clothing:   He is currently wearing 0-3 or 3 months in pants, most of his clothes now are at least 3 months and he just now starting to wear 6 months PJ because of his length.  She is still my little girl, she has been wearing newborns up until about a week ago and she got too long for her PJs and I bought her some 0-3 months and 3 months.  Most of her clothes she can not wear anything bigger then 0-3 but ready for her to wear 3 months because I have so many cute clothes for her in that size.
Milestone:  Both of them love to go from laying down position to sitting up.  Madison will go from laying down to sitting and then she will put her legs under her and stand straight up.  Neither one of them like tummy time but they both will lift their head straight up if you lay them on their tummy in your lap or on the couch.  Both are little coo'ers and both have found a little chuckle.  Cant wait to hear their first big laughs.

First: swimming in the pool and playing on the beach
