4 Months Old!

IMG_2792

I know some boys who are FOUR months old!!!

Rhys is 11 pounds 11 ounces and 23 1/2 in long. He actually moved up on the weight chart a bit to 7%- and that is on the 4 month chart!

Owen is 11 pounds even. He dropped a smidge on the weight chart but he’s still on the 4 month chart. Plus he was still getting fortified breastmilk at his 2 month appointment and the past two months he has only gotten breastmilk so….all that to say… we are pleased with his progress.

The boys aren’t like 4 month olds (actual age) but not quite 2.5 month olds (adjusted age) either. They are both rolling from belly to back and pushing their shoulders and chests up when on their bellies. They track well and can locate a voice from behind or beside them. They are smiling like crazy and occasionally give us a big laugh. Rhys is really starting to coo and talk to people.

They are the center of attention everywhere we go! People just cannot resist twins! Its ok… I kinda like the attention.

So I think they look different (its the cheeks and eyes) and all you people who only see them in still pictures probably think its easy to tell them apart. But you would be wrong. When they are moving and making different expressions, its quite difficult to always know who is who especially if they aren’t beside each other. Well Rhys now has a red dot (its something vascular I forget what the ped called it) on his chest. Its about the size of a dot you would make with a pen. BUT its something different. So if all else fails, we can now just check out their chests to determine which baby is which.

Good thing Rhys and Red both start with R...that probably helps in the middle of the night. :)
That first picture is ridiculous - 1, they are ADORABLE. and 2, they look huge! Are you sure it's really been 4 months??

Kelley! So cute and so big already! I love these pictures! So in the first picture with the two together-is Rhys on the right? Whichever twin that is, looks JUST like Sienna! What do you think about who they look like?

well I only ever see them in pictures and I think they're HARD to tell apart! Especially in the same outfit!

They look very... OLD to me suddenly. Like they've finally lost that newborn dewiness. But still I can't believe it's been four months!

I can't believe they are 4 months! That is crazy. A lot can happen in a few months.

That's such a great picture. They do look like such big boys - not newborns anymore. And I agree with Clark Fam that Rhys looks more Caskey in this picture. Though I'm sure if I actually saw them, I'd have no clue which boy is which.

4 months, Wow! They are looking so "old" in those pictures, so cute too! Love the Rhys has a red dot to distinguish him from his brother :)
