updates and recent pics

The babies are 4 months old now! Their 4 month pediatrician appointment was this past Monday. Both are in terrific health, and have more than caught up for being a month premature. Charlie is weighing almost 17lbs, which puts him at 90th% for weight. Hazel weighs 13.5lbs, putting her at 50th%.

I'm also moving them up in clothes sizes. They both have long torsos and short legs. Charlie is moving into 9 month one-piece outfits, but 6 month pants still fit just fine. Hazel is moving into 6 month one-pieces, but is still wearing 3 month pants. Way to grow, littles!

Here are some recent pictures of everybody...

Charlie, in his (formerly Jono's) short dog overalls. I took this picture for Nana, even though you can't really see the short dog.


Babies have also started trying the Jumperoo


I think navy is Charlie's color. It looks really nice on him, don't you think?

One of my big boy, my girl, and me:


and yes, I'm eating my words with this next one. I always swore I wouldn't strap bows to my baby girl's head, but we got some hand-me-down bows from the Goodyear girls, and well, I love it! She's so adorable.


Funny story about that... When I first brought Hazel out with her bow, David said, "Seriously?" with a concerned voice. And as if on cue, Jono followed it up with "Uh oh!" SO funny!

And finally, more play time for babies. We tried out their pod chairs today, and they like them OK. David said I should stage a picture with a chess or checkers board set up between them. Tee Hee. Maybe another time.


"What's this toy Mommy put in my lap?"


"Tastes alright!"


"What's she doing over there?"


Charlie was very interested in the fact that Hazel was able to pick up and hold her toy. He wasn't having as much success with that.

Alright, that's all for today. More soon!
