4 month appointment

The twins had their 4 month appointment today. They're growing so quickly. Mira's 13lbs 10.8oz and 23.4in. Leia is 12lbs 13.6oz and 24.5in. So Mira's still about a pound heaver and an inch shorter than her sister. They've pretty much stayed that way their entire lives. Mira also rolled for the first time. As the doctor was checking all the things she normally checks, she put Mira down on her tummy. She was doing push ups and arching and then she went up on her side and over to her back. I was so shocked. Mira's normally a total slug when you do tummy time. She's content to just lay there, eating her hand, but she did it. Leia acted like she was going to, but she got upset before she did. The doctor also gave us a prescription for Zantac for Mira. We're hoping that will stop some of the evening screaming. I swear, Mira would be the perfect baby if it wasn't for that.


When it came time for the shots, it was heartbreaking. We have to always make sure that Leia goes first though. She's super sensitive to her sisters and when they cry, she starts crying too. Mira went first and when Mira started screaming, Leia did her pouty face and started wailing. She had tears before the nurse had even touched her. They were pretty much back to normal before we were even back in the waiting room. They did whimper a few times. They slept most of the afternoon. They both had Tylenol this evening too because they started to run fevers. Now all the girls are asleep.
















DiDi and I took the girls to a friend's daughter's birthday party this last weekend. There were tons of kids and Adia was in heaven. She never wanted to leave. When we first walked in, I thought she'd be terrified with all the people and commotion, but she was right at home within minutes. I made her cupcakes and she just licked all the frosting and sprinkles off the top. I had a feeling she'd do that. I didn't make the cupcakes from scratch, they're from a Betty Crocker Gluten Free Yellow Cake mix and I wasn't a fan either. They were crunchy. Betty Crocker just doesn't use rice flour that isn't milled fine enough.
