The more fun part of the doctor's visit was checking their weight and length. Emma weighs 12 lbs, 12.5 oz and is 23" tall. Mia weighs 12 lbs, 3.5 oz and is 23 1/4" tall. Over the course of their last few well-baby check-ups, the girls have gone from the 5th percentile for weight to the 10th and now they're in the 25th percentile range. That is compared to a full-term single baby, so the doctors are very pleased with their growth. As are we!

Four-Month Checkup
Being 4-months old means getting more shots. This is no fun for the girls, but probably worse for their parents. Dad held each of them as they got poked 4 times in their thighs. They screamed at the time, but recovered pretty quickly. Tough girls! We were also smarter this time and gave them baby Tylenol an hour in advance, and kept it coming that evening.
