4 Month Checkup

Addilyn and Ella went in for their four month checkup today. Addi weighs 11 pounds 14 ounces and is 23.5 inches long. Ella weighs 11 pounds 2.5 ounces and is 23 inches long. They are both in the 25th percentile for their height. I'm not sure about their weight and percentile. Addi has been taken off the apnea monitor. The doctor doesn't think there is any need for it now. She thinks Addi will do just fine.

We have been given the go ahead on mixing cereal thick enough to start spoon feeding the girls. I'm not sure how I feel about this as I know it's going to be tough with two of them! Next month we will start green veggies. From there we will move on to yellow veggies and fruit will be last. The doctor said it was fine that I was putting an ounce of juice in their formula/cereal bottles to keep them from getting constipated. Thank goodness!

Both girls got a shot in the top of each leg and one oral vaccination. They cried good and loud. Even made me cry to hear them cry. Thankfully it didn't last long. When we got home both were all smiles again and ready to eat. Hopefully the rest of the day goes smoothly and they don't get too fussy.
