Four month appointment and holiday pics

We had our four month appointment at the pediatrician last week and got another great report card! Abby was 10lbs 2oz, officially over TRIPLE her birth weight! She moved up the growth charts from .5% to 2.5%, so exciting. Jake was 12lbs 2oz, and moved up from 5% to 20%! Since this compares them to babies that are 4 months old that were born at full term, it is GREAT news that they continue to grow quickly to catch up to their "peers". As for their milestones, they are supposed to hit those somewhere between their actual age (4 months) and their adjusted age (2 months) and we seem to be on track there. After a few weeks of practice, Jake finally rolled over the other day! Even though I was two feet away from him, I missed it because I was reading a magazine because they were driving me crazy. Bad mommy.

Speaking of driving me crazy, WOW have we had a week with these two. We had a fun weekend last weekend - had people over most of the day on Saturday and Sunday - and boy did we pay for it. They didn't nap well on Saturday so Saturday night was rougher than usual. Then they didn't nap well on Sunday and Sunday night was even worse. Then they didn't nap well on Monday, and after two nights of bad sleep and one day of too many mimosas (oops), I was NOT happy. Monday night was bad again and I honestly thought on Tuesday that I was going to lose my mind. Thankfully the tide started to turn, and we had good naps again yesterday and pretty good sleep last night. It's funny how when we first brought them home we were expecting them to not sleep a lot so it was exhausting but not "want to jump out of your brain with frustration" awful. Now that we KNOW they are capable of sleeping great at night, it is brutal when they don't.

We are looking forward to Pajauskas family Christmas tomorrow! I keep talking to the babies about Santa but I'm 99% sure they have no idea what I'm talking about. Maybe next year? Or the year after that?

We got the rest of our holiday pictures from Katie Ryan and they are awesome! Would have been more awesome if Jake and Abby would crack a smile, but there's always hope for their six month pictures. Enjoy!
