I’m off to the babies’ 4-month well visit this morning in a few minutes.  I’ll update the newest info later…
EDIT (11:55) – Babies look great!  They are huge (E=13.3 lbs/24 in. and A=13.6 lbs/24 in.) and very healthy.   Anyway, the doctor was pleased, which is always nice. And of course, they also got their next vaccinations today, but they do fine with those.  A little screaming and then they settle back down.  Though I’m sure the preemptive Tylenol didn’t hurt! 

Last night, Alex screamed for an hour at bedtime.  We’d lay him down.  He’d be quiet for a few minutes and then he’d start.  Nothing helped.  We tried Tylenol, holding him to calm him down, burping him, and lastly, feeding him and giving him gas drops.  He still cried.  So finally, Eric just held him in the glider until he fell completely asleep and then laid him down in his crib.  And then he stayed asleep until 2:15.  Weird…

Unfortunately, we’re still getting fussy/awake in the wee hours of the morning.  It’s not too bad, but when I get him up, I put him in a swing where he sleeps for another hour.  So why can’t he do that in his crib?!?

Last night, I needed to run some errands, so Eric watched the babies while I did.  There was a gorgeous rainbow again…I drank in that sight the whole way into Hilliard.  Then when I got home…Eric had not only fed Alex his cereal, but he had bathed both babies and gotten them ready for bed!  He’s awesome!

Okay, I have to go give my babies some Tylenol (more shots today!) before we go…happy Tuesday!
