Boys Are 4 Months Old!

Time flies!  The boys are 4 months now!  They are doing great- very happy boys!  My only complaint is that they suddenly stopped sleeping a long stretch at night about a month ago.  At first we thought it was a growth spurt...but a month-long growth spurt?!  Boo!  Elijah is the "trouble child" with that.  They go to bed around 8pm and (once-upon-a-time) were sleeping until 4am, waking up to eat and then going back to sleep until 7:30am.  Now Eli wakes up somewhere around 2am to eat instead.  I'm sure I've complained about this on this blog already, but I just wanted to let you know that it hasn't changed!  We've tried dream-feeds before we go to sleep (going in and feeding Eli once more around 10pm), and a few other strategies, but nothing has really changed.  He just seems to need to eat at 2am still!  I know he's only 4 months old, but Chloë was sleeping 9-12 hours at night at this age.  Then again, she was a lot more fussy and needy in the day than these guys are.  They are very happy little guys.  Impossible to be mad at them for making me get up at 2am!

Other than that, both boys have rolled over tummy to back and now back to tummy.  Owen found his feet this past weekend.  Eli has been sucking his thumb and fingers.  Very exciting updates, I know!

These pictures were taken over the past month or so...so not quite up-to-date!

kisses!





Looks like a "big-girl" bed in her near future!
