The Miles' Trio: 4 Months Young

The girls had their 4-month doctor's appointment this afternoon... how can it be that they're already four months when just yesterday they were so itty bitty?! I recently looked back at some of the pictures from the first few weeks they were born and it's hard to remember them being so little... Anyway, their doctor's appointment went well and they are beginning to catch up both developmentally and physically! We're hoping that they do as well with the shots as they did at their 2-month appointment (so far so good). So, for the details...

RYANN GALE

Ryann has hit the growth chart in every category! She weighs 10 lbs 9 oz (3-5% percentile), is 22.3 inches long (5th percentile) and her head is 15.3 inches (10th percentile). However, the left side of her head is a little flat - she favors looking to her right - so we have to do some neck/head exercises. He wasn't too concerned yet, but it's funny because just this weekend I mentioned to Gama that her head was flat... guess that gives us something to work at!

BRYNLEY CADE

Brynley is still our little peanut... boy does she make us laugh. Lately she has wanted to have 'conversations' at bedtime or at 3 in the morning - it's hard to be made when she coos in her sweet little voice. The night Gama returned from Belize she decided that 2:00 am is the perfect time to talk to Gama! She has hit the growth chart in two categories - height and head circumference. Bryn is our little snacker - or rather, would LIKE to be our snacker. It doesn't quite work with the schedule we need to keep. She weighs 9 lbs 14 oz (<3%), is 22.3 inches long (5th percentile) and her head is 15 inches (3rd percentile). I'm pretty sure she's actually more like 10 lbs - she decided to give us a 'present' right before leaving for the doctor's office!

HADLEY MARIE

Hadley still tends to be on the dramatic side and can go from sweet to beyond mad in about the blink of an eye. She is also 'talking' up a storm, and especially cracks us up when she sneezes... It's ACHOO ahhh - ACHOO ahhh - sweetest little ahhhh I've ever heard. Hadley weighs 10 lbs (<3%) - and has been eating like a horse the past few days! She's 21.8 inches (<3%) long and her head circumference is 15.5 inches (10-25th percentile) - and here we thought Ryann was the one with the big noggin!

OTHER NEWS

It's official - our house is on the market, the sign was posted this afternoon. I'm excited, stressed, and anxious all at once. We're definitely looking forward to being up in Omaha - it's just the moving process that has me worried. We tend to forget about the move and whatnot - the girls keep us pretty preoccupied. They still love their walks - just being outside seems to offer them some enjoyment. They're all so close to laughing - right now they have the silent laugh down pat. We're also all getting a bit more sleep these days... though we're always looking for improvement. Last weekend Ryann went 11 hours Friday night and 9 hours Saturday night! However, Sunday night it was back to only 5... we really can't complain (too much) - they usually give us a 5-6 hour stretch after they go down for the night. Unfortunately we don't capitalize and go to bed right after they do! It's kind of nice to unwind and relax for awhile before hitting the sack. That's about all for now - it's been a long long long day, and as I've told other - these babies are killing off my brain cells! Below are a few pictures... Happy May Day!
