4 months

So this is a few days late!  I don't really know where the time goes!  I do know that we have cuddle bugs on our hands so lots of time is dedicated to that. :) The girls are going awesome!  We took them in for their 4 month check-up and Ava is 12 lbs. and 23.25" long and Isabella is 11 lb 12oz and 23.5" long. The Dr. was super happy wtih their growth and said sometimes you have adjust the growth chart for preemies but the girls are measuring in the 25th percentile of other 4 month olds so they are doing great!!!  They have become so interactive and have changed so much in the last few weeks.  They both love to smile and chat up a storm.  They tend to flip-flop in their temperment.  One day you think you have one figured out and then the other one does it!  Isabella tends to be more easy-going but she has her moments too! :)  Isabella LOVES to be held ALL THE TIME! Her perfect day is to be held ALL of it and she doesn't care how you hold her.  Ava likes to be held but she likes to be held a certian way especially if you want her to fall asleep.  They are both sooo cute.  Both have rolled over once but so far not again.  They drink anywhere between 5-8 oz. at a feeding and I do nurse them a little but I pump A LOT and we do mostly bottles (it's nice to be able to have help with the feedings especially since they are slow eaters).  They have both slept 12 hours STRAIGHT.  They don't usually do this on the same night but it has been soooo nice to have one of them making it all night!  They are sleeping great and are starting to be awake a lot more during the day...we are starting to get into a nap routine. An update on Isaac is that he is still learning to adjust to life with twin girls! :)
 Ava always likes to lean on Isabella's shoulder.
Isabella was saying "enough already"!
