Recap of 4 month appointment

Riley and Colter had their 4 month appointment on the 18th. We thought Daddy was going to get to go this time, but he had a last minute meeting he couldn't miss. So, Gram came to the rescue. Jeff talked to her literally 20 minutes before the appointment and she made it there to help us. Thank goodness. They got the regular 4 month shots and recovered pretty quickly. Dr. Gorvy said we could start solids anytime now, but that we can wait until 6 months if we want. We're waiting for now.
Colter is now 25 inches long and weighs 14 pounds 13 ounces.
Riley is 23 1/2 inches long and weighs 13 pounds 2 ounces.
We knew they were feeling heavy!
While it's easier to hold them at the same time because they are holding their heads up by themselves, it doesn't take long before my arms are tired.
Here's Daddy with his babies.


Jeff and I got to go to a movie this week. That was a huge treat. Gram and Papa Jim came over to babysit and put the twins to bed.
Jeff and I are enjoying all the chatter around here. Riley and Colter are both babbling up a storm. They love to have conversations with anybody who'll listen. It's great in the morning, because they'll entertain themselves by "talking" for almost 30 minutes before they start to fuss. It does make eating take a little longer, though. These two especially love to talk at mealtime!

They're doing awesome!!! I can't wait to see you guys next week. We'll have to think of something fun (but easy) to do.

And one more thing...sorry to be annoying with all the comments. I just went back and looked because I couldn't remember how much Bryce weighed at his 4 month appointment and was surprised to see he weighed 14 lbs. 13 oz at his TWO month appointment and 17 lbs. 7 oz at four months. Colter's got some catching up to do!! (You know I'm kidding!!) I can't wait to see them and ya'll. Thanks for doing that favor for me.

WOW Colter and Riley have gotten sooo big!! I can't believe that they are already 4 months old! We can't wait to come see them and let them play with Alan!!

I can not believe how fast they are growing. At this rate Macie might be the lightest one when we go to the beach! Of course I don't think Caroline will ever catch up to any of them. I can really see you in Riley this time.

Yeah, poor little Caroline is the runt of the litter!

Glad Gram is so helpful!
