The Chislets are 4 Months Old!
The Chislets turned 4 months old recently (January 10th). It is amazing how fast they are growing and changing.
The kids also had their 4 month pediatrician checkup last Tuesday. Here are the official stats for everyone:
- Benjamin is weighing in at 16 lb. 1 oz. and is measuring 2 feet 1.38 inches long. He is definitely the “big” brother of the bunch — he out weighs his siblings by more than 3 pounds! He takes in a full 2 ounces more than everyone else at every feeding and he is the first to be able to roll from his tummy to his back on purpose. (Jake can do this too, but it always happens by accident.)
- Jacob is weighing in at 12 lb. 15 oz. and is measuring 2 feet 0.75 inches long. He is the chatterbox of the bunch, but I constantly have to keep telling him “I don’t speak Jake.” He is also our first giggler and has a ticklish spot on his left side. Jake also loves to stick his tongue out at you and finds it hilarious when you stick your tongue out at him.
- Grace is weighing in at 11 lb. 8 oz. and is measuring 1 foot 10.75 inches long. She is a very happy baby and coos all day long. She especially loves to get the playmat all to herself — she is the tiniest of the bunch, but she spreads out to take up as much space as possible on the mat! Grace also enjoys bathtime and absolutey adores getting her hair (what little there is) washed.
It’s been a fun first four months (how’s that for alliteration), time seems to be flying by and we are trying to soak in every precious moment.

…except when only 2 of the 3 Chislets are asleep at 3 am! All joking aside, the kids are really starting to sleep well. They aren’t quite eating, sleeping and pooping exactly according the schedule that Mom has established, but overall they are doing extremely well.
We had the Chislets’ 8 week appointment this past Tuesday and everyone is doing well. It was quite an affair as all five of us received shots (Mom & Dad had to get that yearly flu shot)! It was hard watching the kids get their first round of vaccinations but everyone survived with flying colors.
- Jake is weighing in at 9 lb 4 oz and is measuring 21.5″
- Ben is weighing in at 10 lb 9 oz and is measuring 21.75″
- Grace is weighing in at 8 lb 1 oz and is measuring 20.5″
The Chislets are 3 weeks old!
Jaclyn and I can barely believe how fast the time is flying. The Chislets turned 3 weeks old this past Wednesday and we had our second pediatrician’s appointment on Friday morning. We were only 5 minutes late and only 2 of the 3 kids urinated on the medical staff. . .so all and all it was a very successful appointment!
All of the kids are growing up fast:
- Ben, our big man, is weighing in at 8 lb. and is measuring 20.75 inches long
- Jake, the flirt, is weighing in at 7 lb. 3 oz. and is measuring 19.25 inches long
- Grace, the princess, is weighing in at 6 lb. 2.4 oz. and is measuring 18.75 inches long
The kids have all begun holding their own heads up and the boys even rolled their heads over during tummy time this past week. The Chislets are also beginning to become aware of each other – Ben has been pulled out of the shared crib a few times for clubbing his brother with an arm!
