On Friday morning (bright and early, I might add!) Jackson and Genevieve went in for their 4 month check up with the Doctor. They both pulled out some big grins for him and he complimented them on their Gerber baby looks. :-)
Genevieve: 13 lbs 10 oz (50th%), 24 3/4 inches (55th%)
Jackson: 13 lbs 15 oz (25th%), 24 1/2 inches (25th%)
Genevieve has closed the weight gap by a whole 1 oz since their 2 month check up! Because they're doing so great in the weight department we have the go ahead to start phasing out our liquid gold (for the price, it should be!) formula designed for premature babies. I'm excited, as regular formula is about half the cost!
We also have the go ahead to introduce foods to the twins, although I'm not sure why I'm excited about this. Bentley still isn't "hooked" on solids, what if the twins take after him?!
Genevieve & Jackson are developmentally starting to catch up to where babies their non-adjusted age are - according to the Doctor. I think that's because as babies get older there is such a wide range in their development anyway. It was a good appointment, although it did end with 6 needle pokes. Ouch!
