4 months

This morning we headed out to a park in the area for a twin play group. I wanted to get signed up for the club in order to shop early at their twin sale this weekend. I met a few people, but of course most of the kids at the park were older. One thing that bugged me a bit was that a couple of the women kept trying to sell me products. It was driving me crazy. I didn't go to the park to buy Baby Butter and I don't want to have parties or sell it. Give me a break. I just wanted some conversation. I did meet a really nice mom with 3 yr old twin boys. Anyways, when we got home the boys were a little bored and we went outside to play and take a few pictures. My intention was to get a picture of Landon sitting up by himself. He can do it for about 10 seconds or so on his own, but the timing has to be perfect and he wasn't in the mood. I ended up with some cute shots even without the sitting up thing. Sorry about the scratches on their face. I cut their nails this morning, but the damage had already been done.

Landon and Elliot just passed their four month mark of living in this world. In some ways it has flown by and in other ways it seems like years ago that they were born. We are loving this stage they are in. They are both doing pretty well about sleeping at night. They go to bed between 7-8 pm and the first time I have to feed someone (Landon) is around 4:00 am. Elliot is usually up between 5-7 am to eat. On bad nights, they wake up more often, but overall they are doing great. On nights when they are both screaming at 4:00 in the morning, I have to take a deep breath and assess who needs what and how quickly. It is definitely an adventure. They both have exceptionally long eyelashes. In fact, it is almost always one of the first things out anyones mouth when they see them. "Wow, he has long eyelashes!" I can't count how many times I've heard it.

Landon is really good at rolling from his back to side or tummy, but has only rolled from tummy to back a couple of times. He is sleeping so much better especially during the day. His naps are usually fairly long and he is becoming such a happier baby. At any random moment, he just breaks out in a big grin and he smiles with his whole body. He does lots of little giggles. Landon is happiest right after he eats. He is a solid little guy. Lately, he has been wanting to stand up and use his legs while being held. When Landon sleeps he likes to move. His sleeping position could change 3 times over the course of an hour. It is funny to check on him and see which direction he facing now.

Elliot is improving on his rolling over. Brooks finally saw Elliot roll over a few days ago. He has only done it a few times. He as well enjoys using his little legs to stand up. He does not like being laid down on the blanket to play, but would rather be sitting up. Elliot has decided that he doesn't like nap time as much as he used to. His naps are shorter, but he sleeps great at night. Elliot stays in the same position all night. No moving around like his brother. He has such a cute open mouth smile. I just love it when he lights up and grins.
