4 MONTHS OLD... and 5 days!!

Wow it's hard to believe the boys turned 4 months old on the 8th....
Monday morning they had their 4 month check up and things went very well besides them getting shots. : ( It is the saddest thing to see your baby get stuck with needles and let out the most heartbreaking cry... They were pretty tough though and calmed right down once we picked them up. Jaden weighed 12lbs 4oz and Jaxson 8lbs 14oz. What big boys they are becoming! Jaxson has been doing so great with his breathing that his pediatrician decided to start taking him off some of his diuretics. He has been off one since Tuesday and has done just fine!! We will take away his other one Sunday and if he tolerates it well also he will only be on one medication (for his reflex)!!! The boys were pretty happy babies Monday for getting shots... they slept a lot but when they were awake they were smiley and cooing and in some of the best moods I've seen them yet, i said there had to be something in those shots we didn't know about. ; )
They are both still enjoying their bumbo very much and they watched cartoons for the first time in it on Tuesday. I turned on the Disney channel and Goofy was on and Jaden sat in that bumbo and didn't take his eyes off the tv. I'm sure he didn't really know what was going on but he loved the sounds and the picture changing on the tv. I told him he has a time limit on the tv though and he did very well just wanting his 10 minutes! His head was starting to get tired and he was ready for something new. The last couple days Jaxson has just loved his bouncer!! It is the aquarium one that has the bubbles that move and make noises and he thinks that is just the coolest thing!!! He makes the cutest little faces as he watches it and gets so excited.
Today Jaxson's physical therapist came and he was doing so great with his stretches and exercises! He's starting not be so stiff and relaxing a little more. He was holding his head up great and wanting to scoot all over the place when he was on his belly. He weighed 8lbs 14oz again today which means he didn't gain any weight from Monday. She wasn't too worried about it because the boys had colds last week and also got their shots which could of caused the no weight gain. We just have to make sure he is taking ALL his feeds and acts okay, which he is! She also told us to limit the boys to only 10 minutes of bumbo time a day and Jaxson maybe even less. It is great for babies once they can hold their heads up but if their backs and stomachs aren't strong it can cause them to slouch a little and a lot of pressure on the back which isn't good. She said the best way to strengthen their core and back muscles is to just put them on the ground and try and let them move around. Jaxson's physical therapist is wonderful and it's always nice to get advice from her every once in awhile... I would of never thought of it putting so much pressure on their backs, but now it makes sense. : ]
Well the boys are snoozing away and I should get some sleep myself! GOODNIGHT!
