We had Ian and Alex's 6 month appointment today!! Here is where they are at:
Ian
18 pounds 11 ounces, 75th percentile
28 inches, 95th percentile
Alex
16 pounds 15 ounces, between 25th and 50th percentile
27 3/4 inches, 90th percentile
The appointment went really well... the shot went good too!! We found the key to making the shots a little more easier on the boys... we massage their legs before hand and while the nurse is about to give the shots.. Mike gets the boys laughing really hard... Ian never cried on the first poke and didn't cry much on the other 2. Alex cried a little harder but calmed down right away!! I am so thankful that Mike is there to help me.. it is a lot of work with both boys!! Brev went too this time.. he played his DS the whole time and did really good - he went into the waiting room while the boys got their shots... he didn't want to be around for that.
Ian has a little eczema that we need to start treating.. nothing bad though. Alex is dealing with some constipation issues so we are going to start him on a little prune juice.
Other than that.. they checked out fine and are growing so fast!!!
The past couple nights Alex has decided to sleep on his tummy... I will go in and flip him over on his back only to find him on his tummy again in the morning.. the Dr. today said it was fine if he slept on his tummy so no more flipping.. it was just making me a bit nervous.
Still no teeth and it doesn't seem like anything is close to coming through as of yet.. although I know they are teething.. lately Ian is trying really hard to put my face in his mouth - he will grab my face, open his mouth really wide and then try to bring my face to his mouth.
I think that is it for now... it seems like they are just lately trying and doing all sorts of new things.. it is fun and exciting seeing them explore new things!
