We can hardly believe it is mid-summer with July 4th right around the corner. We took the boat out Sunday and Caden rode on our new big tube with Mommy, then wanted a turn with Daddy and then wanted another turn with Uncle Steve. We think he would have stayed on it all day if we let him, but we needed to get back home to Aida who helps us watch the girls.
The big 4 month doctor check-up was today. They were given the okay to go on normal baby formula and not the preemie Enfacare since they are growing so well. We had expected to be on that formula for 6 months so this is great news. The doctor also told us we could start rice cereal in the evening two weeks after we give the girls the new formula. Roll out the high chairs! Yikes... that will be messy fun. Dr. Chandler doesn't want us to start stage 1 baby food until after their 6 month visit in August. Here are the official stats:
Addison is the smallest at 11lb. 2 oz and is in 5% for weight, She is 21 3/4 inches tall and in the 3% for height. She has had the most apnea and bradycardia alarms and needs to go until Aug. 18 without any episodes for her to come off her monitor. That seems like forever but hopefully time will fly by quickly.
Emery is 11lb. 12 oz and is in 10-20% for weight, she is the tallest at 22 1/2 inches tall and in the 3-5% for height. She has to go until July 18 without any episodes to come off her monitor.
Harper started out as the smallest and is now the biggest at 13lb. 2 oz. and is in the 25-50% for weight. She is 22 1/4 inches tall and in the 3% for height. She was given the green light and can be taken off her monitor! YEAH- one down two to go... we can hardly believe it.
We are feeling a mixture of emotions because these monitors are such a blessing and curse --- usually a curse as we trip over the cords and the alarms go off and we try not to curse! It seems like we always do this when the girls are crying and we are in a hurry to feed them and the loud alarms are going off--- just a little chaos from time to time.
They also had their shots today so they enjoyed a long nap... when do we get a nap?
