Our Londry Room: 4 months

Jul 7, 2013

4 months

The day we came home from the beach the twins turned 4 months! Graham and Ellie have grown a lot over the past month. We are always out and about and both are still such good little babies. During month 4 we established a new routine, went on our first vacation and beach trip, are sleeping only on our stomach, are eating around 20-22 oz a day, stay awake a lot more and giving lots of smiles! They have started following us as we walk across the room and making lots of eye contact. Both are making lots of new noises, which we love!

G and E are now in size 1 diapers and wearing mostly 3 month clothes. This gives us a lot more options on what to wear and they are always matching! Our new schedule: They wake up around 6:45-7:30AM and drink a bottle and play until about 8:30. We let them lay in their boppy's and watch tv and usually do some independent play during this time. They take a nap between 8:30-9:30 or we walk and they snooze. We then eat and change clothes and play until about 10:30. Then we take a morning nap until around 12. They eat and play until about 1/1:30 and then take a long nap until 4. We give them another bottle and this is the longest awake time during the day. Neither takes a good late afternoon nap anymore so we started just letting them stay awake until bedtime. Sometimes we go to the park with friends or go on a family walk around 5 and they might take a 20-30 rest in the stroller. We give baths and bottles at 6 and read a story and put them to bed between 7 and 7:30.

Graham- Nicknames Bubba, Bubbawubs and Graham Bam. You have recently started babbling and it has to be the sweetest thing. You also do this sweet noise right after you sneeze....we are desperately trying to capture it on film! You still love sleeping on your tummy and love your paci. You are constantly kicking your cute little legs and we put you in your Jumparoo so you can put those strong kicks to use! You are definitely our snuggler. I think you would be happy just hugging me and sitting in my lap all day! We are slowly trying to break you from wanting to be held as much. Your friend Cameron let you borrow his Piano mat toy and its is by far your favorite toy!

Ellie- Nicknames: Bug, E, sissy, Peanut and Buggaboo. You are still a very chill and laid back baby. You are very independent and for the most part quiet. You most recently started sucking your thumb! You are full of smiles and on the verge of laughing!! You like to be on your own, but will let us hold you and stay still while you watch the TV. You spend a lot of time in your bumbo seat and are pretty content just about anywhere.
