Evelyn and Olivia: Four Months

My oh my! I feel like you girls are constantly changing and growing. You are both so alert and happy! I feel very blessed with both of you and am enjoying my days with you both. Here are some of the things I want to remember from this past month.

- Although both of you are acting like you want to roll from back to stomach, neither of you have done it yet. Evelyn is still rolling from stomach to back pretty well, but Olivia hasn't yet done that roll.
- Both of you have started laughing and it's so precious! We've been able to catch Evelyn on video, but haven't been able to catch Olivia. It's harder to make her laugh, but just as adorable when she does!

- You guys took your fifth and sixth airplane rides when we went to Copenhagen in October and are about to get a few more miles when we travel to Belgium!
- We are still working on getting you both to sleep through the night. You are waking up somewhere between 5:00 - 7:00 am. One day Evelyn slept until 7:30! And one day you both slept until 7:00! You'll probably both be sleeping through the night just in time for your schedules to get all screwed up when we fly to the US. :-/

- We've continued to have lots of drool from both of you, but no teeth so far that I can see. You'll probably also time your first ones for the flight to the US like your big sister did - HA!
- You continue to take 1-2 great naps outside in your stroller. It's amazing how much better you sleep there than inside! The weather is getting a bit poorer here, but we have good clothing to bundle you in so you are nice and warm.

- Evelyn continues to kick and flail her arms whenever she's on her back. The health station even commented on how active both she and Olivia are!
- Olivia is more of our cuddler. She loves to be held and will lock your eyes and smile huge when she's snuggled into your arms. Total melt. :-)
- It seems like you two are starting to notice each other even more now. Every once in a while we will catch you looking at each other. You have also started grabbing each others hand when laying next to each other on the play mat, whether it is on purpose or not it's still cute!

We love you so much precious girls! You are such a joy to our family and we are all smitten about you - especially your big sister Madi. This month she held your hand, asked to carry you, and read stories with you. We are sure going to love watching you three play together one day (all too soon)!

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
