4 Months old...

Our beautiful little girls are four months old now. They have come so far from being 5.8lbs and 6.10lbs. We went for shots and a check up on May 25th and Addyson is now 16.1lbs and Emerie is 17.1lbs. Yes!!!...they are still 1lb to the oz apart. How bazaar!! The are trying to sit up...which is really funny. They will be sitting in their swings or bouncy chairs and then they will just lift their head straight up and lean forward. This means it won't be too terribly long and they will be trying to sit up and crawl....eek!!!

Separation anxiety????

Not a bit. Well I made the decision to separate the girls for the first time since birth on Monday night. The girls did better than I expected. I wasn't really sure what to expect. I wasn't sure if they were going to have separation anxiety or enjoy the room to move. Addyson slept ALL NIGHT without a single stir. Emerie however woke up at midnight and again at 3am. However, I don't think she woke up missing her sister. She was having a hard time breathing because she is congested from sinus allergies. Other than the two times she woke up due to her sinuses, she slept very well on her own.
        Tuesday night was night number two and both babies slept all night without a peep! I think this is going to be a good thing. I really only separated them because when one would wake up she would wake the other and it was a never ending battle. Sometimes I got lucky and the one asleep would stay asleep even if sister was crying, but more times than none, it was the other way around.
        Lastnight was the third night in a row, sleeping on their own, and they did perfect. I am really proud of them taking this so well. Now of course I know this doesn't mean it will always be this way. There may come a time when they will want to be with each other and that will be fine. I don't have a problem with them sharing a bed, I just don't want them waking each other right now while they are little and need their rest.
