6 Month Check-Up

Sorry for the delay but we lost our Internet connection for several days due to the bad storms that happened last Friday.  We had Addison and Caroline's 6 month check-up Friday morning and I am happy to report that both girls are doing great.

Here are the numbers:

   Addison: Weight 12 lbs, 1 oz (under 3rd percentile), Length 24.5 in (between 5th and 10th), Circumference 41 cm (between 5th and 10th)

   Caroline: Weight 13 lbs, 2 oz (25th percentile!!!), Length 25 in (between 10th and 25th), Circumference 41.5 cm (between 10th and 25th)

The doctor told us that Caroline's weight was in the 25th percentile but on the baby center website it says under the 5th so I am not sure which is correct.  We also found out that with most twins the first born is bigger and is usually the dominant one.  Well in our case we have the opposite.  Caroline, born second, is bigger and more dominant.  Very interesting.

In the last week they have both become so much better at sitting on their own.  So much so that I have stopped carrying them in their carseats which my arms appreciate! By the way, those are still newborn size onesies that they are wearing.  For the most part they are in 3 month sized clothes but they do fit in some newborn stuff!

Addison cracks herself up when looking in a mirror.

Goofball!

Apparently Addison really can sleep anywhere if she is tired enough.

The power was out for 4 and a half hours last Friday.  It was a fun candle lit night with no tv or internet.  Something that does not happen often enough.  Fortunately, we already had a bunch of candles set up to light and all the girls toys were battery operated so it didn't phase them.  The candles are actually from our wedding and we had not lit them again since then.

And what did we do when the girls were in bed?  We made margaritas (before the ice melted), ate ice cream (before that was totally melted) and played Yahtzee!  It was a fun night

About a week ago Gwen was wearing this outfit.  I thought the colors were so pretty and bright and would look great against Linnea and Cam's purple entry way.  So here is a little photo session we had....what a goofball!!
