The kids will be 6 months tomorrow and I can't believe it. We had their 6 month check up today with the pediatrician. Once again the kids weights are amazing and you would never know they were preemies although their height and head size are a little behind full term babies their age. The Dr says it is normal for them to take a little longer to catch up in those areas.
Gage weighed 20.8 lbs (90th %) and was 25 and 1/2 inches
Brea weighed 17.1 lbs (75th %) and 24 1/2 inches
Brody weighed 16.13 lbs (40th %) and 25 and 1/4 inches
They were all found to be healthy babies although Brea and Brody still spit up quite a bit and are taking medication for reflux. Brea is getting quite scared of people. She puckered up her lip and then just starting crying at the Dr. today and has been doing this at various people lately. She also cried the hardest and longest with her shots at the Dr. So I guess she fits the stereotype of being more sensitive than the boys.
They all have been quite active lately. They play in the jumparoo and the exersaucers alot and love sitting outside on nice days and going for stroller rides. They are doing pretty good with starting to sit up a few minutes on their own although Brody hasn't quite got the hang of it because he wants to move around instead. Also Brody still doesn't really find as much interest in his toys or in the exersaucers or jumparoos like the other two and constantly wants held. We keep hoping everyday he will wake up and have outgrown the fussiness and constant need for attention but we haven't made it to that day yet.
Brea and Brody are rolling over from stomach to back all the time and Gage tries but hasn't quite made it over yet. The Dr. said he is not real concerned with that since he is pushing himself up and getting about to his side. We aren't sure if it's his size or his laid back personality that is the reason for him taking so long to do it but either way we're sure he will eventually.
Well I better get to bed not sure what the rest of tonight will bring after their shots today.
