6 Months Old! Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day! We're heading out to a BBQ with friends soon. While the kids are napping I figured I'd catch up on blogging...

Ethan and Sophia had their 6 month check-up on Friday (they turned 6 months on the 15th) and both babies are growing fast! Sophia's body is catching up with her head, and both Sophia and Ethan have almost quadrupled their birth weights (most babies double theirs by 6 months).

Sophia - 17 pounds, 3 ounces - 27.25 inches tall
(Sophia jumped up to 75th percentile from 50th percentile at 4 months)

Ethan - 15 pounds, 12 ounces - 26.25 inches tall
(Ethan jumped up to 25th percentile from 10th percentile at 4 months)

Sophia and Ethan are not only starting to eat the yellow vegetables (squash is a big hit!), but they're also now having 3 solid-food meals a day in addition to their bottles. Yum! :)

Some six-month-old pictures...
No idea where Ethan's expression came from... but we thought it was pretty funny...

Looking at Krinkle Bird...
Sophia points out that Ethan is now starting to get some hair up there!
Hanging out with Sophia and Ethan...
Feeding Sophia and Ethan simultaneously on the floor at my weekly Mothers of Twins support group...
Chloe, our new babysitter, plays with Sophia and Ethan. We are so excited to start having date nights again!
