Krober Happenings: Four Months Old

It doesn’t seem possible that it’s been 4 months. The twins are growing up so fast and becoming babies rather than newborns. At their 4 month check up Kate weighed 13lbs 14.9oz and was 23.7in long. Grayson weighed 13lbs 15.2oz and was 23.62in long. Both are growing like weeds! Both had their second round of shots. Grayson didn’t seem fazed but Kate developed a low-grade fever for about 36 hours.

Here's what we've been up to the last month...

On Mother’s Day we had the twins dedicated. It was a special time for us as we promised to raise Kate and Grayson in a Christ centered home and we were able to again thank the Lord for these two blessings. It was fun having lots of family here to celebrate. We went to Aunt Judy and Uncle Ivan’s house after church for lunch. I also had a nice first Mother's Day...my gift was Chocolate Covered Strawberries and a dozen roses.

I had my first night away from the twins on May 16^th. My mom along with my sister-in-law Val went to the Beth Moore conference in Spokane. Thanks to Oma and Papa (Tim’s parents) for coming and helping Tim take care of the twins overnight.

For Memorial Day the twins and I traveled to Coulee City to attend all the festivities. On Saturday we got up and walked the Cow Pie Jog J We all survived and finished the 5K in under an hour!!! We also went and watched the parade…well I watched the parade while the twins slept. We decided not to try going to the rodeo. We’ll leave that to next year.

Kate has dropped all but 1 night feeding. So she goes to sleep about 8:45pm-3-4am, eats and back to sleep until around 7:30am. During the day she is taking 2-3 naps and each are 1 ½ to 2 hours long. She is eating 5 oz every 3-4 hours during the day. She is doing lots of coos and screeches. She loves waving her hands and lifting her legs. She loves the play mat, bath time and being with Mommy ALL DAY long. She doesn’t like tummy time, being put down or burping during feedings….she screams. Kate is getting better at holding her head steady, she rolls from side to side and she is beginning to bear weight on her legs.

Grayson has also dropped all but 1 night feeding. He goes to sleep about 8:45pm – 3-4am, eats and back to sleep until around 7:30am. During the day he takes 2-3 naps for about 1 ½ to 2 hours long. Most days the naps are at the same time as Kate but some days he is completely opposite. Those days are longs days for me! He is eating 5-6 oz every 4 hours during the day. He loves to coo, giggle and smile at everyone. He is a mover so his legs and arms are always in motion. He also loves the play mat especially the blue elephant hanging on it and bathtime. He loves “The Wheels on the Bus” and finds the motions very funny. Grayson doesn’t like burping during feedings and some days tummy time is a challenge.

Over all Kate and Grayson are a joy to have around and I love watching their personalities develop.
