How did our babies get to be 4 months old already? After doing lots of research and getting some recommendations, we met with Dr. Colver today for Luke and Olivia's checkup and shots. We were very impressed with the practice, although we really miss Dr. Mona in Atlanta; we doubt we'll find another doctor we liked as much as her.
Wow, what a difference 2 months makes. Here are their stats:
Luke
14.9 pounds; 50%
25.5" long; 75%
Head circumference: 42 50%
Olivia
11.12 pounds; 10-25%
23.25" long; 10-25%
Head circumference: 39 10%
Olivia is such a little runt! =) Dr. Colver said both babies looked great and we can start solid foods when we are ready, which will probably be Saturday night when we have time to video tape it. Luke is drooling like Niagra falls and has been a little fussier than usual (he is such a chill baby usually), which means he is probably in the very early stages of teething. Olivia is VERY gassy, so we are trying a new formula yet again to see if it helps her little tummy. She has also been spitting up more than normal, so we may have to adjust her dose of prevacid as well.
Olivia is rolling over sometimes while Luke is content to just lay on his arms. Olivia also loves to sit up and will be crawling before we know it. Luke is so vocal and coos all of the time, and his open mouth smile lights up his entire face. We got them an exersaucer, and they both seem to love it, at least for a few minutes right now!
Last night they both slept from about 10:45pm until 6am (YAY!), but we'll see if the trend continues. Usually Olivia wakes during the night from her tummy pains, so we have been getting very little sleep. Let's hope this new formula does the trick!
