We are OFF the high calorie formula!

Well, at least two of us are.  Any guesses?  Haha, yep, Kate and Zach can move onto the infant formula.  Little peanut, aka: Addie, is still on the high octane stuff.  We had our 4 month check up last week.  All kiddos are on the chart for weight, Addie is just barely - hence her staying on the calories. Zach and Kate are in the 10th %ile I believe.  But it's really not fair to them to compare them to other four month olds.  If you back them up to their adjusted age they are more in the 50th %ile I believe.  Here are their stats:

Kate:  11lb 13oz.  22.25" long
Zach:  13lb 1oz  22.75" long
Addie:  10lb 10oz  22.25" long

They are all lifting their heads more and more when on tummy time.  Kate is pretty good almost lifting up on her hands instead of her elbows.  They can all sit up more now too, supported of course.  So, we are starting to make use of our bebe pod chair - a soft but supportive thick plastic chair that helps them sit up before they can on their own.  Right now we only have one, but I will be purchasing two more as I see the great use for them in our future.
Addie is desperately trying to roll over.  The poor girl is constantly lifting her legs and throwing them over, she just needs to get her upper body to follow and she's there!  Of course, her leg movements mean she is constantly shifting and turning.  In the morning you will find her at the bottom of her mattress (we have it elevated so she shifts down) and turned 90 degrees from where we left her.  She is also twisting herself off the play mat quite often, again, just by twisting her legs around over and over.  If that girl is laying on the floor, in her crib, or in the pack-n-play you will see her little feet in the air just a moving around.
Kate is desperately trying to talk.  She jabber jabbers all day long.  Our girl has quite a bit to say, whoah buddy when she does start talking we may never get her to stop!  As I said above, she is getting very strong at lifting her head and she is also very good at spotting something she wants to grab and being able to get it.  You can see the deliberation in her thought as she reaches.  It is no longer an accidental wandering of the hand, oops, grabbed something.
Zach is a little slower.  He is getting better at lifting his head, but is not the biggest fan of tummy time (note the 13lbs stated above).  He is also getting better at reaching and grabbing for things.  He is moving along at his own little pace which is just perfect for him.  My absolute favorite thing about my Zachman is his laugh.  He loves when you wiggle his torso and reach his arms above his head.  He also loves when you just laugh with him.  Lately mom has been having the kids face each other or see each other and today he was just smiling and talking to Katie like they were best buds.  It was precious!  Mom is also teaching him to grab with two hands things like the big soft blocks we have.  She will place them on his tummy and he can hold it with both hands.  Katie and Addie are working on that too - Addie tries to hold it just so she can get it into her mouth.

So, those are my kiddos at four months.  Growing up way to fast.
