4 months old

Today the twins had their 4 month check up. This was the first time I took the babies to an appointment on my own. I am exhausted. They did really well even with the 2nd round of shots. The doctor is a bit concerned about Elinor's fussiness.... by the way, her ear infection has healed well... he is also concerned about her bad exzema. So once we finish with the total dose of antibiotics we are going to try another formula and he wants to check her stool. I am almost sure that the formula is not the problem. But I'll do as the doctor suggests... since I did not graduate from med school.
Elinor weighs 12 lbs. 1 oz at 23.5 inches and John John is 14 lbs. 1 oz. at 24.5 inches long. The doctor is concerned about the size of John's head at 44 cm... it seems to be in the 95th percentile. But I am not too concerned because Daddy has a big head too.


We put up the Christmas tree on Sunday and added the lights. However, we haven't quite finished with the ornaments yet. The kids love it just the way it is.
Andy even decorated the back and the front of the house. This was a first for him.
I still have yet to get pictures done for Christmas cards. I hope to get to that this week.



One last photo of Elinor and me.
