Six Months

We have made it to and past the six month mark for the twins and us a family. It seems the first three months dragged on forever and the second three months flew by. I can't believe how big the kids are now...they don't seem like babies anymore...they seem like little people.

They had their shots yesterday and got a good report from their doctor. Cameron has a slight case of eczema...she get dry skin and skin irritations easily. And Timothy's wheezing is just a case of mild reflux since he only wheezes after he eats. The doctor isn't very concerned that Cameron isn't rolling over yet, she is developing intellectually faster than Timothy. She is putting all her energy into her communication skills whereas Timothy is putting all his energy into his physical skills. The big news was how chunky they are, which wasn't really news at all. They both are in the 75% in weight but 10% in height and head circumference...which means they are loaded with all that cute baby fat. But the doctor said as soon as they start crawling/walking then it will all fall away.

Lots of milestones for this month...
Timothy: 18lb 10oz...is becoming the social butterfly and is all smiles all the time...everyone loves his laugh. He is sitting up on his own, rolling over as soon as you put him down and his verbal skills have really kicked in. He is the snuggler of the two and I think he is also responding to his name sometimes. Oh, and the doc said his gums are swollen so look out for some teeth soon...eeeks!

Cameron: 17lb 6oz...is all talk and stares at you as if she is trying to take in every single word or action you teach her. She is still really shy but is slowly getting better and her temper is getting worse. She finally started eating a few days ago, yeah! It think it took her a while to figure what was going on and learn how to eat. And even though she isn't rolling yet, she can sit on her own and loves, loves, loves to be standing up. I swear she will go from laying on her back to walking across the room...skip rolling and crawling all together.

They both love to sing songs, their exasaucers, bath time and being naked. Cameron can be having a fit, screaming but as soon as you take her clothes off...she is so smiley and happy. (we lovingly call her little floozy.)


Young calls them little monkeys so when he saw these outfits he had to get them...
