4 Months

The babes will be four months now. It is crazy how they grow up so fast. Here is a little bit of info about them. The main reason I am doing this is so I don't forget this adorable stage in there lives.
Ladies first. That means Hannah goes first.

Hannah

• 10.5 lbs


• Hannah likes to suck on her hands. I think I wouldn't hear a peep all night if Heber didn't wake up in the middle of the night to cry for food because Hannah uses her hands to pacify herself. Her favorite is sucking on the ring finger and middle finger at the same time.


• She is sweet. She just has a sweetness about her.


• Her cheeks are the cutest little things I have ever seen. They are big and rosy.


• She likes playing peak-a-boo, well our version. She lookes around while I say where's Hannah? Where's Hannah? Then when she looks at me I say "There she is!" She gets all bright eyed and smiles happily.


• She likes to fidget and look at her hands.


• She likes being held and sung to.


• She likes laying out on your lap when feeding her. She lounges on you like your her own personal lazy boy.


• She only eats out of a bottle. I have to pump all the food that I give to her. Nikki you were so right that they get used to one or the other. Heber still can do both though.


• She'll eat solid food from a spoon, carrots and rice cereal so far.


• Is very content.

Heber

• 13 lbs.


• I love when I come to his crib and he smiles and gets a bashful look.


• Likes playing patty-cake with his feet.


• Loves sitting up. Always has been very observant and likes looking around.


• Only eats from a bottle with a large hole in the nipple.


• He loves to eat. He is a hungry little hippo.


• Has been able to turn himself while on his belly.


• Got his first hair cut, mid-March.


• Sucks on his buttom lip when he is asleep.


• Fights sleep. He will do anything to not sleep. He gets very fussy sometimes too. The other day he was fighting sleep all morning but then finally crashed and slept for three hours, which is a lot for him.

They both...

• get hand jam, kinda like toe jam but in their hands, I was suprised that babies got this.


• wake up twice a night once around 2 am and once around 5 am.


• have smiles that make your heart melt.


• noticed eachother for the first time two sundays ago. We even got a picture.

Stats

• So far they have gone through 1920 diapers. (Assuming that they go through only 8 a day each).


• Have been feed 1740 times. (Assuming: 1st month 8 times a day, 2nd month 8 times a day, 3rd month 7 times a day, 4th month 6 times a day)


• 4320 ounces of milk. (Talmage: I got 6240 ounces. I found that by taking their initial and current daily milk intake, assumed their intake has been increasing linearly from birth until now, plotting a graph of this relationship over 120 days and then integrating with respect to the number of days they've been eating and then multiplying by 2 since there is 2 of them. Of course this is an oversimplified estimate because it does not take into account other food that they've eaten periodically. It's fun to actually apply what I'm learning at school.)


• Number of baths. Let just say that they do not get as many baths as their cousin Thane, who gets them once a day.


• Have changed outfits over about 240 times.


• 120 sleep interrupted nights. One of those goes out to Kimball, two of them goes out to Mom Hansen, three of them goes out to mom, Amanda has helped with many. They are all saints.


• The worth of giggles, cooings, laughs, crys, can't put a number on it.
