Big, Brave Babies

I took the kids in for their four-month shots today. They were both very brave - Jacob looked more shocked than anything. Molly is more used to being poked and prodded, so she went her usual shade of purple rage. We also did their 4-month measurements. The kids are a couple of weeks over four months, but our doctor likes to correct for the prematurity, so we compared with 4-month milestones. By that measure, both are taller (66cm and 63cm) and bigger-headed (the jokes write themselves) than average, and right on average for weight (14 1/2 lbs, 13 1/4 lbs). I'm not surprised that they're growing, as they've been taking full, 8oz bottles at most feeds for the past few weeks. So, they've come a long way from being small newborns.
