Six Month update!

The boys had their 6 month appt today. I was going into it hoping that we would be able to leave and not have to worry about another doctor's appt. No such luck. More about that in a bit...

Anthony was smiling like crazy at the nurse. He's such a flirt! Nicholas generally just stares at whoever looks back at him. He's a bit more cautious I think. I say Anthony is going to be the one rolling down the window at the gas station going, "I'm Anthony. What's your name?" What a happy little fellow!

So-Nicholas weighs in at 16lbs4oz. He is 27 1/4 inches long. Anthony weighs in at 15lbs12oz and is 26inches long. A little guy! Nicholas' head circumference was 45cm whereas Anthony's was 48. Yet another big jump. The pedi warned us at the 4 mth appt. that if it continued to grow-he was going to send us to the neurosurgeon. And he is. It grew a lot again. He just has a big head, and a little body! Poor guy! So-he said he thought we were going to go there and they are going to tell us he is fine. He said the CT scan was good and that was reassuring. He said that he has seen big heads, but not quite like Anthony's. He said that the way he looks at it is he treats his patients the way he would want his kids to be treated. Better safe than sorry. So-I get to make a phone call and make an appt. We'll see when we get one. I'm sure it won't be soon...

They had their shots. Nicholas cried but he didn't pretty well overall. Anthony on the other hand-SCREAMED bloody murder! OMG! It was HEARTBREAKING! I felt so bad for him. I never have heard him scream like that. Poor guy!!!! Then when I took his bandaids off he screamed again! And when I put him down for nap. He was a bit fussy. I'm going to blame that on the shots...So unlike him. 

The boys were giving the ok to start finger foods! Can you believe that?!? CRAZY! So of course I went out tonight and got some toast things for babies and Gerber puffs. I can't wait! Well-I can...but you know what I mean. The Dr. also said we could go to 3 meals a day. I can't even begin to imagine! He's more of a "go-with-the-flow" kinda Dr. It's more about the individual baby. Things are going to get busy around here! We didn't mention we were doing "cry it out" with the boys. He doesn't quite believe in that! Oops! 

So all in all-the boys are doing very well! Yay! I have now started reading to them after they eat in the high chair. Reading is something I feel very strongly about. I was just having a hard time fitting it in, in the sense of when they would be willing to listen to it. In the high chair seems to work-or even when they are in the swings, etc. Also-now that they can sit up for a bit-it's FUN! We put them in the playroom with the boppy's holding them up. I put toys in the middle of them and they go to town! It's so much fun! They are getting so BIG! 

Well-that's all for now I believe. The boys 6 month professional photos are up! Now the fun task of picking out a "few."
