6 months old




The girls turned 6 months on October 12th.  I snapped these pictures at breakfast one morning and am hoping you are loving the "bedheads" as much as I am! At their 6 month check-up a few weeks ago Sally Kate weighed 17 lbs 13 oz. and was in the 75th percentile on weight and the 90th for height. Simmons weighed 14 lbs and was in the 25th percentile for weight and the 50th for height.  With every appointment their weight has gotten further apart. We've gone from 1 lb apart at birth to almost 4 lbs apart by 6 months. Crazy! The doctor says by the age of two or three that their weight will have evened out and you will not be able to tell them apart. We'll see!

They're starting to sit up a little bit and Simmons is "scooting" a little more than Sally Kate.  They both talk and talk and squeal and squeal...they're too funny. They're loving their exersaucer and jumperoo and I do mean LOVE.  It's so fun to watch and I will post a video of it soon.  And last but certainly not least, they discovered their feet about a month ago.  They are crazy for their little toes and Simmons would rather suck her toe than eat half the time and when she's not doing that she's squealing.  Sally Kate just watches her and then gets in her "talking mode"---that girl can do some talking!

They are loads of fun.  I am finding that every age is my favorite but I am really, really liking where they are now.  Only a month or so left of immobility--then I think the race is on!
