Catching up on Christmas pictures

Here are some pictures I have taken in the last few weeks:

Pictures from this weekend

Some Christmas tree pictures

6 month doctor visit, 12/3

The babies went into the doctor's office yesterday for their 6 month checkup and immunizations.  They got 3 shots and an oral vaccine and felt really bad the rest of the day and night, but they are feeling better now.

Ben weighed 16 lbs 7 oz, was 25.5" tall and had a 43.7 cm head circumference.  Evie was 15 lbs 12 oz, 25.25" tall and had a 42.4 cm head circumference.  They are in higher percentiles in all of those measurements now, which means they are "catching up" with other 6 month babies.  They are now right around the 50% percentile for 5 month babies which is a better measure because they were a month early.

They can start eating little rice puff things and drinking water from cups now.

Babies talking

Evie was feeling talkative after she ate her food tonight.

Thanksgiving Weekend

The babies are six months old today!  They had a fun Thanksgiving. 

Carrots

Lots of pictures

Both babies are sitting pretty well now.  Evie can sit up for minutes at a time before she falls over.  Ben can sit up on his own but he'd rather just lean back on someone.  Last night was the best they have ever slept.  Ben didn't cry to come into our room til 5:15 and we had to wake Evie up around 7:05 because her brother wanted to eat.
