4 Months Old

I can't believe the twins are 4 months old already. I also can't believe Mallory will be 3 next month. Where has the time gone? Whitney and Aubrey went for their 4 month well child exams last week and they are growing like weeds. Whitney was 10.8 lbs and Aubrey was 11 lbs. That didn't quite put them on the growth chart yet but the doctor said he would round up and say they were in the 3rd percentile for weight to make me feel better! Whitney had a little popping in her hip when the doctor checked it so we had to take her to a pediatric orthopedic doctor today. Everything looked good. The doctor said her hip sockets are just a little slow to fill in which is not surprising since they were 2 months premature. He wants to see her back in 5 months to make sure everything still looks good. He said he is 99% sure everything will be fine. YEAH!! Other than that the girls are smiling and cooing a lot now so that is fun. Whitney loves to look at herself in the mirror. I think she must get that from her Daddy! Aubrey was having a tough time with acid reflux but the doctor adjusted her meds for that last week so she is doing better now too. The girls still aren't sleeping through the night so tonight I decided to cheat and put some rice cereal in their bottles before bed. I am keeping my fingers crossed that today will be the first day I get to sleep through the night since November 10 (the day I was admitted to the hospital). I will let you know if it worked!
