Four month update

Its been a loooong time since we have posted and Im feeling guilty! There is so much to report, I don't know where to begin. But, Ive decided I need to be a good mom and keep this blog updated for our little darlings so that someday they can see all their great progress!

First of all, Ive been back to work for about 6 weeks now and its going pretty good. We have a nanny, Sami, and she is working out great. She is here 4 days a week with Joe. Grammie and Papa Joe are here on Wednesdays. We have always had a lot of help from the big sisters or family to watch the girls and it has been great! Joe and I have gone on one date night so far but Im thinking we need another real soon!

On November 10 the girls were 4 months!! They are doing so well, the doctor was so happy with their growth. Here is the low down:

Madison weighs 13 lbs, 13 oz and is 24 1/4 inches
Sydney weighs 11 lbs, 12 oz and is 22 1/2 inches
Caelyn weighs 11 lbs, 12 oz and is 23 1/2 inches

At 3 months, Madison was 10 lbs and Sydney and Caelyn were 9 lbs. At birth, Caelyn and Sydney were both 4.5 lbs. They have stayed exactly the same weight as each other since birth. Very interesting!
Since about 6 weeks they have been sleeping through the night about 9 to 10 hrs a night. We give them a baba at 9 pm, down by 10 pm and they wake up the next day around 6:30 or 7. Just like clockwork! Its amazing and I know all of you think we give them something but we dont!
They all have their little personalities too. Madison is a smiler and she is the chugger! She drinks every drop of her bottle, every single time! She drinks like she hasnt eaten all day. Very cute. Sydney is our little peanut. She started talking first and tells us stories all the time. She still yelps when she wants something and really is the one that cries hardest if she is hungry and can't wait anymore. Caelyn is true to her middle name, Joy. She is happy go lucky and very laid back. And, she smiles ALL the time. Its so adorable. She does it kind of in a shy flirty way. She also does motorboat very well and has a wet shirt most of the time with all her drool. She is teaching Sydney how to do it, but Sydney has not quite perfected as of yet.
All of them are doing great at tummy time and have flipped from their stomach to back. Im just waiting for them to take off and start crawling! It wont be long now. We must baby proof the house soon!

We had our first family photo shoot a couple of weeks ago. It was a lot of fun. Below are some pics and also a link to some shots we took for Halloween. Enjoy! I promise to stay current from now on with how they are doing. Check back often! Love to all.
