Updates from the girls' 6 month checkup.

The appointment went really well. The girls very healthy and strong. They have met all of their 6 month milestones and are not being evaluated using adjusted age any more!

Abby weighs just under 15 lbs, this puts her in the 25th Percentile for weight. She is in the 50th percentile for height and 25th percentile for head circumference. When she was born she was in the 10th percentile for height, weight and head circumference. So she's doing a good job at catching up.

Emily weighs just under 14 lbs which puts her somewhere around the 15th percentile. For height she's in the 25th percentile and 25th percentile for head circumference. Emily started out well below the 10th percentile in height, weight and head size at birth. The doctor said that she is growing very well and over the past two month her
growth rate went way up!

The girls had 2 shots each and the rotovirus drink. They are usually a bit off after their vaccinations. This time they fell asleep during their nightly movie (which they watch while we eat dinner).

They don't have another checkup until 9 months and I'm sure by then we'll be amazed at how big they are. I can't believe that it's already been 6 months since we were counting every single ounce that they gained.
