6 month pediatrician visit

Wow, I haven't done a blog post in a week! Guess I've been busy. And tired. Very tired. We really need to get their sleep under control.

Getting ready for a walk on a chilly fall day


The babies had their 6 month well visit yesterday, and they are still growing nicely! Here are their stats:

ABIGAIL



3/25/10 Birth - 5 pounds 3 ounces; 18.5" long; 13" head circumference
2 weeks old - 5 pounds 4 ounces
4/29/10 One month old - 6 pounds 13 ounces; 18.5" long; 13.5" head circumference
6/3/10 Two months old - 9 pounds 8 ounces; 21.5" long; 14.5 head circumference
8/12/10 Four months old - 12 pounds 6 ounces; 24" long; 15.75" head circumference
10/4/10 Six months old - 13 pounds 12 ounces; 25" tall; 16.25" head circumference

Abby's weight fell to the 10th percentile from the 25th, but the pediatrician isn't too concerned since she is still gaining and is healthy. Her other stats are at the 25th percentile.



Abby now consistently sleeps on her tummy, loves to roll from her back to tummy to back again, and is trying really hard to crawl. We've seen her get up on all fours for a few seconds at a time, and she practices every chance she gets. She also loves solid foods and seems excited to try to learn how to use a sippy cup.




LUCAS



3/25/10 Birth - 4 pounds 12 ounces; 18.25" long; 12.5" head circumference
2 weeks old - 5 pounds even
4/29/10 One month old - 6 pounds 14 ounces; 19.5" long; 13.5" head circumference
6/3/10 Two months old - 10 pounds even; 20.75" long; 15" head circumference
8/12/10 Four months old - 14 pounds 6 ounces; 24.5" long; 16.75" head circumference
10/4/10 Six months old - 16 pounds 11 ounces; 26.25" tall; 17.25" head circumference

Lucas is at the 25th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for the other measurements. He feels like he weighs a lot more than 16 pounds! At least he still has a little time before we have to switch him out of the infant car seat.



Lucas also loves rolling around on the floor and is trying really hard to crawl. He loves it when the dog licks him and giggles at almost everything.

ZOEY



3/25/10 Birth - 3 pounds 15 ounces; 16" long; 11.75" head circumference
2 weeks old - 4 pounds 2 ounces
4/29/10 One month old - 5 pounds 9 ounces; 17.75" long; 13.25" head circumference
6/3/10 Two months old - 7 pounds 13 ounces; 20" long; 14.25" head circumference
8/12/10 Four months old - 10 pounds 12 ounces; 22.25" long; 15.75" head circumference
10/4/10 Six months old - 12 pounds 10 ounces; 24.50" tall; 16.25" head circumference

Zoey is on the charts! Her weight is around the 5th percentile, height is at the 10th, and head is at the 25th. Keep growing Zoey!



Zoey loves rolling from her tummy to back but has not shown much interest in rolling from back to tummy. [Stay tuned for a separate post about Zoey, just like the ones I've done recently about Abby and Lucas. We're just trying to capture some fun Zoey time on video first.]

All the babies can sit for a few seconds on their own, and can sit for longer with a little propping. They love eating pureed foods and are having fun experimenting with the mysteries of sippy cups and spoons. They are smiley and happy most of the time, and we are having so much fun with them!
