4 months!

well...we went for zach and zoe's four month check up yesterday and we got a big thumbs up! :)

zachary is now in the 95th (yes, that's right...95th!) percentile for both length and weight (27" and 17 lbs, 11 oz) and zoe is in the 90th for length (25.5") and 50th-75th for weight (13 lbs 15 oz). can you believe??

it just blows my mind that zach is almost 4 lbs heavier than zoe! they both eat four times a day, about 7 oz each meal. the only major difference between the two is that zoe is constantly moving (she's literally nonstop!) whereas zachary prefers lounging and laying! :) i guess exercise really does do the body good?!

our doctor has told us we can start them on rice cereal if we'd like, but i think we might wait just a little bit longer. while i am still not back to work, i'd like to take full advantage of my time with them nursing. i'm quite nervous about how things are going to change once i do go back, but am going to try and continue nursing. it's looking it may be sooner than i was originally anticipating, so i'm holding on to every moment i have with these babies!

what else?? both babies are smiling and laughing nonstop and love to talk and to be talked to! zoe is still our high maintenance princess as she loves to be held and isn't much of a napper, so requires constant attention. zachary loves his naps, swinging on his swing and is usually perfectly content. just as of late he seems to like a little more attention!

summer seems to be here already, so taking walks is a bit more of a challenge. unless we go early in the morning or right before bed time, it's tough! we've just had to be more creative around the house, but we occasionally get a little stir crazy cooped up inside!

our nanny lin is just loving these two and they really love her as well. as much as i am going to hate when i go back to work leaving these two, i know they're in good hands. we
