We're 4 months old

The girls turned 4 months old yesterday! It's shocking to me that time is going by so quickly. They have their 4 month well check up tomorrow and get their shots :( which I'm not looking forward to...but I'm anxious to go and see what the dr has to say! Getting a picture of the two of them where they are both looking at the camera is near impossible. We tried getting one with both girls smiling but after about 75 takes we gave up. You can tell that we were making Riley mad in the one picture because she flipped me the bird! Ha!
Updates on the girls at this point:
Reagan is just growing up so fast!!!!!! She has really, really mellowed out and is turning out to be the happiest little girl. She entertains herself for hours at times. She still loves playing on the activity mat and now grabs things and pulls them and has recently discovered her feet. She plays with them all of the time now. It's so funny! She has lost almost all of her hair at this point...there's still some hanging on in the back (which makes it look pretty funny) but the top is growing back in very blond! She is off all of her medications at this point and while the acid reflux still makes feeding time not so fun (and extremely messy!), she really doesn't seem bothered by it at all! She'll spit up (which is just a really nice way of saying puke everywhere) and then want to go back to eating right away! She's definitely over 14 pounds by now (we'll find out tomorrow for sure). She's sleeping really well (not consistently but getting there) from about 8:30 at night til about 4 am. We're SOOOOOO happy with that! She has her nights where she'll wake up at 11, 12, 2, 3, 4 (you get the point) but she's a baby and that's what they do sometimes I guess. We're hoping that as we start introducing more solid foods (we've started rice cereal) maybe that will help?! To sum Reagan up....she's an absolute JOY. Her smile is enormous and she makes my day when I pick her up from her crib in the morning. She is curious and loving (especially loves her Daddy) and just makes my heart so happy every day.
Riley is still just a little love. She's SO close to 10 pounds. We had a doctor's appointment for her on Friday and they weighed her at 9 pounds 13 ounces. Maybe tomorrow she'll be 10?!? She is still a little peanut but is finally out of newborn clothes! Yay! She is very alert all of the time. She always seems to be studying things (faces, toys etc...). She's smiling so much more now and it makes us laugh so hard. She has this shy little smile and it's almost like she's flirting with you when she smiles. It's so cute! She talks a lot and HATES to be alone. If I put her in her bouncy seat so that I can get something done she will fuss until I come back. It's not really crying...more like just letting me know that she's there and wants to hang out! She is raising up SO much on her arms when she's on her tummy. We're waiting for her to roll over...think it's going to be any day now. She is an AWESOME sleeper!!!! Almost every night she sleeps from 8:30 til 4. Half of the time I think she'd go longer but Reagan wakes her up! Riley's big news is that she's getting fitted for her helmet this week. I haven't talked much about it on the blog, but the doctor's have been a little concerned with the shape of her head. As a result of the way she was positioned in my tummy and with her Torticollis, the shape of her head isn't the way it should be. You really can't tell unless you look at her from certain angles. Of course in my opinion her head is perfect! The good news is that x-rays have shown that everything is perfect INSIDE of her head and that her brain is growing the way it should so there won't be any delays or issues. It's basically a cosmetic thing but one that needs to be addressed so that her head can be symmetrical again! It's pretty common in multiples that at least one of the babies has this issue. SO...she'll wear a positioning helmet for about 3 months. She only has to wear it whenever she's laying down or sleeping or on her back (which, let's face it is most of the time). Matt says he's going to decorate it like an Ohio State football helmet. I'm winning this one and we're going to find the prettiest princess, butterfly, flower stickers that we can and decorate it to be the most beautiful helmet any one has ever seen! The helmet will also help her Torticollis so while I wish she didn't have to go through this...we know it's what she needs and it's only for a short time! I can't even imagine how cute she's going to look in a little baby helmet!
SO...that's the 4 month update. The girls are just the best things that have ever happened to us. We look back to where we were a year ago at this time and there is no way that we could have ever imagined having these two miracles in our lives. Thank you GOD! We are so happy...and while it's the hardest thing in the world, it's also the best thing in the world. We are so blessed! I can't even imagine how much we're going to have to update in the next month!
