Triple Play: 4 Months

How old?  4 Months.
 

Our weights? S: 11 lbs. 6 oz.  T: 11 lbs. 11 oz. M: 11 lbs. 4 oz.
The girls are wearing 0-3 months and 3 months.  A few newborn clothes still fit depending on the brand.
 

Our sleeping patterns?  We have all slept 12 hours straight at night!!!  Amazing, I'm so proud of my little 4 month olds.  They don't do it consistently but about every 3rd night they sleep through the night.  If they wake up, it is between 3 and 5 AM and it may only be 1 or 2 babies.  But at the most, we only have to do one feeding during the night which is a huge improvement from those first couple of months.  The girls also take about a 2 hour nap in the morning and a 2 hour nap in the afternoon.  We try to keep them awake in the evening, however they may take a 30 minute cat nap before the long sleep at night.
 

Our eating schedule? We eat every 4 hours.  My goal is to start at 8:30 AM then again at 12:30 PM, 4:30 PM, and then about 7:30/8 PM.  They can't quite make it 4 hours the final feed of the day.  I think it is mostly because they are tired.  They also get rice cereal in their milk before bedtime (for reflux).
 

Our favorite foods? Breast milk.

 

Our likes?  Swings during nap time, our pacifiers, and milk.  S: Sleep, lying on her tummy, waking up in the mornings, and Daddy's funny faces.  T: Looking in the mirror, grabbing toys and bringing them to her mouth, mobiles, and tummy time.  M:  Being held and being able to see everything around her, she wants all of the attention, she also likes rattles and lights.
 

Our dislikes? Being put down and poopy diapers.
 

Our favorite games/toys?  Our favorite play time is in the morning after our first feeding.  The girls are always so happy and this is when I get some good pictures.  They play with their toys that make noise or light up.  They have begun looking and cooing at each other which is so cute.  They like to sit in their bumbos so they can see more or lie on their backs in the play gyms.  Also, the bouncers occupy them while Mommy cleans or cooks (or blogs).
 

Our milestones?  S: She rolled from her tummy to her back, brings her hands to her mouth, and imitates your voice.  She is doing a better job at holding up her head.  T: She is reaching for toys with intention and grasping them.  She is so close to giggling but hasn't quite got it yet.  M:  She imitates sounds you make and looks at her sisters.  She has been rolling from her back to her tummy and bringing her hands to her mouth.

Things we do to make Mom and Dad smile?  Smile at us, look at us in the mirror and smile, cute faces we make, when we sleep through the night, and when we do something new.
