4 Months Old!

We went to the doctor today for the four month check up. Ryne was 25 inches and weighed in at 14 lbs. 3 oz. Jack was 26 inches and weighed in at 15 lbs. The check up went great. Dr. J was very impressed with their head and neck control. She said that their growth and development was great.

Today was a big day for Jack. He finally rolled over from his back to his tummy. He has been trying to do this since the middle of last week. We were so happy when he finally rolled - then he scared himself by rolling again from his tummy to his back. He was pretty excited about the whole thing though. He also started his "solid food" today. Jack had a yummy lunch and dinner of rice cereal. MMMM.....just kidding - it looks nasty! He did a great job of eating it in his big boy high chair at the kitchen table! Jack is also sleeping much better at night. He only wakes up once some nights. Which is great for Chris and I. Let's hope that this continues.

The big news for Ryne is that he slept through the night for two (non-consecutive) nights. I couldn't believe it! I have to admit that it was wonderful not getting up but it freaked me out at the same time. And I admit - yes, I did go and check on him a few times. He also likes sleeping on his tummy (yes, he rolls!). And yes, that also freaked me out. Chris and I still do check on him at night but it is only if we go back by the nursery, before we go to bed at night, and when we feed Jack at night. Since today I got the okay for Jack to try "solids", I tried to get Ryne to eat the rice cereal. He was not having it! He would force it all back out. So, we will try again next week!

We did manage to get out for a walk when it was nice outside last week. It was GREAT being outside and out of the house. I am so looking forward to SPRING! We take out the "caddy" and we just walk and walk. This time we walked 3 miles. It was a lot of fun. Here is a picture of the "caddy". Yes, it is huge but it is such a great stroller!

Again, we are still trying to get an "official" four month picture. But here are a few from the past couple of days!
