4 Months

Four months seems like it has been a very eventful time period. Every stage in their growth gets a little more exciting. What's been going on:

*Kaden and Kenley both have been flipping from their tummy to their back. They're not real consistent with it yet, but they sure enjoy doing it when they've remembered how.

*Kenley rolled over (from her back to her tummy) for the first time all by herself. She is a very strong little girl and has been swinging her legs over acting like she's wanting to flip. I always give her a little support behind her butt so she doesn't flop back over and she is able to swing her shoulders around and get up on her stomach. But yesterday, she did it all without any help from mom!!  I was soo excited!!

*Both kids have been sick this last week. They have pretty nasty colds with super snotty noses and terrible coughs. Kaden actually even lost his voice today. It's a pretty pathetic sight to watch your baby cry but not hear anything come out. Broke daddy's heart :(

*Kenley ended up with her first ear infection. She loves her antibiotic though. Mmmmm...bubblegum!

*Cody has been sick too this past week and I think he's handling it worse than the kids. Pretty sure he's the sickest guy in ALLLLL of Minnesota (or at least he thinks he is)!

*They both had their four month well baby check on the 6th.
          Kaden: 15lbs. 7oz. (50th percentile)   24 inches long (10th percentile)
          Kenley: 17lbs. 7oz. (95th percentile)  25 inches long (70th percentile)

*We were given the ok to start the kids on some cereal. We're excited to try it, but we've held off because they've both been sick. Maybe this weekend.

*They both are starting to talk and giggle tons (it's our favorite)

(how can you not love that big toothless cheesy smile)

*Every time we get Kaden to giggle, he gets the hiccups!

*We're sleeping through the night now!    (shhh, don't tell anyone...we don't want to jinx it).  We put them to bed between 8:30 and 9:00 and we usually have to wake them at 6:30 in the morning.

*They both love looking at themselves in the mirror. It's like they've found their new best friends. I don't think they've ever seen anyone cuter :)

*Kenley is absolutely IN LOVE with her daddy. Like "high-school-crush-type-love."  She gives him the biggest smiles. It's not even worth the attempt to get her attention when she is sitting with him, it's just not going to happen. Her favorite place to be is sitting in his lap and gazing into his eyes. She will most definitely win a staring contest. What a flirt!
