Yes, they really are 6 months old! I can't believe how far we have come in 6 months. We have gone from the NICU to smiles, giggles, and rolling! As you can see Eli is by far the more laid back one of the two and Ellie is a bit more serious. Sometimes no matter how hard you try you just can't get her to smile. Eli is a little ham and a flirt to boot. At their 6 month check up Eli was 13 lbs 11 ounces and 25.25 inches. Ellie was 11 lbs 6 ounces and 24.25 inches. The doctor would like to see Ellie gain more weight but her growth curve looks great, she is just little. He was impressed that they were growing so well on only breastmilk and gaining the .5 ounce a day like they should. He was even impressed with their cloth diapers and went so far as to say they were "cute." I love that!
Both babies are FINALLY taking to eating cereal. I am them on oatmeal because they really seemed to reject the rice cereal. Not many new developments. They are still working on sitting. Ellie though has figured out how to push up on her hands and look around better.
I hope the next 6 months don't go by in a blur like these first 6 months have. Happy 1st Half Birthday Eli and Ellie!
