Pedersen Twins (plus one!): 4 Month Checkup, First Solids, Olbrich

It's been an eventful week here! First, we had our 4 month well-child visit. Which included another three shots, sad. Actually it wasn't as bad as the 2 month shots. And now they're all better and all protected, so of course it's worth it. As far as stats:

Freya
Length: 24.75 in (58%)
Weight: 13 lb 5 oz (31%)
Head circumference: 41 cm

Signe
Length: 24 in (29%)
Weight: 13 lb 14 oz (44%)
Head circumference: 40 cm

Many people guess that Freya is the bigger one, and we always tell them that it just seems that way because she has a bigger head. And now we have the cold hard evidence! Freya is our long skinny big-headed lady (q-tip) (kidding). Signe is our...let's just say our more "take after mommy" gal. She really overtook Freya. We'll see if the solids help Freya catch up once again, since Signe is the better nurser.

And on that note: solids! We started with rice cereal on Friday. Pretty entertaining, and we hope will make our nights a little less fussy by stuffing them but good. Once they start eating instead of simply mouthing around then spitting out.

We also had a playdate with Bradley classmate Erinn and her lovely daughter Cora. And we made a trip to Olbrich Gardens. All in all a good week!

Poor Signe had to have sock-hand after mama clipped her skin pretty good while doing her nails. Clipping nails is the most difficult baby handling skill, far and away.

Watching some Baby Einstein. Those American Academy of Pediatrics doctors can just stuff it with walnuts, no TV til 2 years old. You try doing laundry in the basement while alone in charge of twins.
