4 Month Doctor Appt and Update

Emaleigh and Derek visited the doctor on Monday for their 4 month check-up. Both of them are very healthy and checked out wonderfully. Emaleigh is 16 lbs 12 oz and 24.5 inches long. Derek is 14 lbs 3 oz and 25 inches long.

Derek rolled over from back to front for the first time on Monday morning. The first time, he got his arm stuck under his body and couldn't get it out. By the 3rd time, he was able to get it loose and look up at me from his stomach. He has started to sleep on his side too. The other day he was laying on the table by me. He rolled to his side (which is normal) facing away from me and got really quiet. I went around the table to check on him and he was fast asleep!
We tried Emaleigh and Derek in mom's excersaucer about a week ago, and they both loved it. Emaleigh likes to try to grab the toys that we put on the tray, while Derek likes to spin himself in circles. They will only stay in it for 20 or so minutes and then they get tired. It's hard work to use all of those new muscles!
We visited my cousin Carrie and her 3 kids last Tuesday. Her youngest daughter, Claranna, is exactly one week younger than the twins. It is fun to see how different they are and how much alike.
All of the Millering Grandparents visited us last Thursday. Emaleigh and Derek really enjoyed all of the attention!




They are growing so fast and getting so big. I am constantly going through their clothes and putting away the things that are getting too small. So many outfits that they look so cute in and they are now in a box. Oh well. Time to get out the new cute outfits that, for now, are a little big.
