We're two handsome young men! (Guthrie on left, Zevon on right)We can't tell you where the time has gone, but it has been over 4 months since Zevon and Guthrie made their appearance. Many parents of twins have told us that we won't remember the first year, and our doctor last week said after 6 months it gets much easier. Either way, we are reaching at least one of those milestones.
At their doctor's check up we learned the boys are doing very very well. Zevon continues to be the brute of the two. He is 17 lbs 4 oz (90 percentile) and 25 1/4" (50-75 percentile). His head continues on its massive curve at 17 " circumference (75 percentile). Guthrie isn't anything too tiny either. He weighs 15 lbs 8 oz (50-75 percentile) and is 25 in long. Guthrie's head is a little smaller (16 1/4 ", 25 percentile) which explains why all his hoodies keep falling over his eyes. Their doctor was very pleased with them (as are we!).
In other developments, the boys continue to delight us with their coos and squeals. Gus has a laugh that will bring us to our knees and Zevon continues to win us over with his smile. They have been champion sleepers, too, for the most part. In fact, they have teased us with nights of 8pm-5am without a peep! But as of late, they want to eat at 3-4am and will fight to stay up well past 9pm. Plus, they will only go to sleep if held and rocked to sleep. We love our boys and I would hold them all day long if I could. But, there are two of them and I can't hold them both all day. So, we are trying some sleep training to get them to calm themselves. So far, Will and I can only let them scream a few minutes before picking them up, so maybe it is more about training us!
