Hi my babies!
Ethan had his 4 month check up today. He is 13 pounds and 24.5 inches. His height is in the 20th % for normal babies. Dr. Reiser was pretty impressed that he was trying to pull himself around already when on his tummy. Ethan is now laughing some, and always smiling. He had some bad congestion about a week ago, and was chocking on drainage. He went to Dr. Reiser, and then the allergist. He is on amoxicilin to deal with sinus infection and drainage, and budesinide to deal with the congestion in his chest. He is already quite a bit better.
Sleeping
Ethan gets up once every night at this point, usually around 3 am. He has woken up twice a night in the last couple nights though. I then take him to Joshy for the second feeding.
Eating
Ethan eats between 60 - 120 ML depending on how long it has been since he last ate. We are still doing mostly breast milk at this point. He gets one formula bottle during the weekdays at daycare.
Development
He can hold his head up well on his own for quite a bit. We need to let him do tummy time more so he can work on that. His congestion was so bad, I was keeping him in chairs often. But, now that he is better we can work on that.

Rose is so much fun these days. She can say several words together. We are still working on communicating though. For example, she says "go away Mommy" when she really means "excuse me" :). She did say "pretty hair" the other day when I put her hair in a pony tail, it was quite cute. She usually gets pig tails.
She eats quite well on her own, but likes to make a mess. She also plays well on her own. Often she will be up for a bit in her crib, and playing with her "quiet book" that Grandma gave her. She can still be a bit whiney, but we are working on that. She is very sweet with Ethan. She likes to give him hugs. Recently she has started playing in her crib instead of taking naps. We try to leave her in there for a bit so she can try to go to sleep.
Rose's health has been quite good. She did have a bit of a runny nose for a bit, and some congestion just before Christmas. But, we did breathing treatments for a bit and she improved and has not had issues since.
