Ryan & Harper's 4 Month Update

Ryan

Weight: 12lb 5oz
Height: 23 1/2 inches long.
Head: 42cm

Harper
Weight: 15lbs
Height: 24 inches long
Head: 42cm


Sleep: I would say that their sleep cycle is about the same. Ryan has improved some though. They have been going to bed by 7pm each night and usually sleep 4.5-5 hours for the first stretch of the night. With an occasional 6 hour night. ( I love those!) Then every 3-4 from that point on until daylight.

Eat: Ryan is taking 4-5 oz of formula every 3-4 hours. Harper is taking 5-7oz of formula every 3-4 hours. Our pediatrician has given us permission to start solids between 4-6 months! The girls are sitting up really well now and we have their high chairs ready. So tonight is the night that we start trying to introduce eating foods from a spoon. This may take a little practice to get the hang of it but I'm excited! We will be starting off with Squash and then going to sweet potatoes.

Diapers: Same as last month. Harper is in size 2. Ryan is in size 1.

Clothes: Harper & Ryan both jumped to 6 months outfits! The pants are a tad long but we roll them up, not a problem. I can't believe how big they're getting!

Talk: It has become apparant that Harper LOOOVES to talk. It's so much fun to listen too. Ryan talks also but it's so suttle and almost like a purr. adorable.

Other:  The girls expereienced their first snow of the season on Nov 17th!

Milestones:  Ryan has started rolling over from tummy to back this month. She also is on the verge of rolling from her back to tummy. She almost did it last night. She's just a finger tip push away from tipping to her tummy. Exciting! This also makes me nervous because she could start rolling from back to tummy in her crib. I watched her almost do it once on the monitor.

.....and of course I've updated their photos for 4 months. I could juse kiss their little cheeks right off!!!!

 

 

This photo cracks me up!

 

 

 

Reason for lacking in posts...

Hi there! Has another month really slipped by? Here it is November and I didn't post much for October. I had several topics in mind that I wanted to talk about but some changes have have happened in October. B and I have decided to purchase a home for our growing family. Our apartment is just too small for us 4 and our three fur babies. So stay with me if I fall silent... hopefully I get better at this.

So we found a beautiful home in a rural town and it's perfect as our first home. I cannot wait for the girls to start crawling, walking, and discovering their world in the new home. For now we have just started the contract and closing process.. so hopefully come January we will be moving into a more spacious environment!

Also, I wanted to recap on the girls first Halloween. We went to downtown scare on the square with some friends and their 1 year old. It was the perfect day with fall weather! Harper was an adorable pumpkin and Ryan wore a black cat dress. The girls loved being outside and watching the commotion around them. We kept it short and sweet but it was nice to get out as a family and enjoy the evening together. I am looking forward to next Halloween when we have two WALKING toddlers.

I am keeping tonight's post small since the girls have been asleep for an hour now. B works nights and I'm on my own for night duty.. I like to get as much sleep as possible. However, I will leave you with some pictures from Halloween. Enjoy!
