Today was Michael and Emily's 4 month well baby visit. They both are doing well, gaining weight and growing at the appropriate rate. They are still both small, but have finally hit the growth chart in some areas. The stats are as follows:
Michael- 12.6 lbs which is the 7th percentile, 24 1/2 inches which is the 25th percentile. The biggest thing on him? His head, which measures in the 45th percentile!
Emily- (the peanut) 11 lbs even which is the 5th percentile, and 22 inches which is not on the chart yet. Also her biggest asset is her head, which is in the 30th percentile.
They had their immunizations as well, and Michael was very fussy and warm all afternoon. Mom and Dad were over helping Terry install a ceiling fan in the kitchen, which came out great, pics to follow later. Mom was holding Michael while I was putting Sophie to bed, and he got warmer and warmer....she called to me when he started shuddering. We got the cold compress and Grandma wrapped him up. I did call the ped., his temp was just at 101, he said that was acceptable as long as we could control it with Tylenol, which he has been getting since this morning. So, he is fine, but had his very experienced Grandma thrown for a loop for a minute!
Emily as usual takes it like a trooper, just more sleepy than usual, but eating and playing fine. But big sis Sophie has a bad cold and a temp as well, tomorrow will be a no school, stay at home in pjs kind of day.
These are some new pictures...a friend of mine gave these blankets to the twins, they are called Taggies, and are really neat, already they are tryng to get the tag parts in their mouths. And Sophie reading Pooh to Emily...she certainly has her rapt attention!

Bless their hearts and yours too! Shots can be so hard on every one. Thankfully, they will all probably be feeling better tomorrow!
