Okay, I've been bad...

But I promise to try and update more.

The kids are growing like weeds. Chubby weeds, just like Daddy! A month ago, Daniel was at 13 lbs and Sophie at 12, with their next check-up to come in July. The doctor says that they have hit virtually every milestone at four months that they were supposed to except for rolling over, but did remind us that no child has ever gone to college without being able to roll over. Does that mean that they can't go to college if they haven't rolled over by age 18?

The two most common questions we get are about eating and sleeping. So let's hit those.

The kids are still eating every three hours, starting at about 7:30 am with the last feeding around 10 pm. And we have been serving them two "food" meals per day, with one meal being a fruit/veggie puree (The apple sauce is actually pretty good, although after four months, I still haven't gotten up the guts to try the formula.) and the other being rice cereal, which strongly resembles a mixture of paste and oatmeal. The kids addressed the food skeptically the first time we fed it to them, but seem to have adapted nicely. The added bonus is that we can mix and match the types of food, leading to a lot of dinners for the kids of "whatever's on sale." Unfortunately, I can't buy stock in Babies R Us. We're now at the point at which the kids are grabbing for the spoons when we feed them. Now if I could only teach them how to feed themselves...





Sleeping: The kids are sleeping through the night. We had some issues with Daniel, who decided that 4am was a good wake-up time, but a double-swaddle seems to be keeping him down. We still get the occasional cries between 4 and 6 am, but a pacifier usually, well, pacifies them. Oh, that's how it got that name. "Binky" just doesn't cut it.
