6 month check-up...

Can't believe my babies are almost 6 months old! We had their 6 month check up on Tuesday. I was most anxious to hear how much they weighed and to see how they compared to other babies their age. Everything looks good! Brady weighed 14 lbs. 14 oz, Addie weighed 14 lbs. 7 oz, and chub (Colin) weighed 16 lbs. 14 oz! Dr. Beck says they are all healthy and developmentally on track! We don't have to be on Preemie formula anymore either! The boys were switched to Similac Sensitive (they are a little spitty) and Addie will be on Similac Advance.

He also recommended that we start eating meals 3 times a day. We've been only giving them veges at their dinnertime feeding so we're working on a new routine...We'll see what happens! They got to try some pears and they all loved it! I know every dr. says something different but mine recommends this for a schedule. Breakfast, lunch and dinner should be solids with 3 bottles for snacks somewhere in between there... Sounds like a lot of work but I'm trying it with Brady today. He had his morning bottle and veges and fruits at lunch. I hope to give him a little naptime bottle this afternoon and eat more fruits and veges for supper with a bedtime bottle a little later?! Who knows what will work?!


The kiddos are scooting everywhere...well Addie and Brady are. Colin is too chubby to move very far :) We need to get him to roll over more! Brady gets up on all 4's but doesn't know what to do next! He'll be the first to crawl for sure. They love playing with toys on the floor and can entertain themselves for quite awhile. They love the nice weather as much as I do! They love their stroller rides especially now that they can sit in the stroller and not in the carseat. We took them out for an hour last night and no one made a peep! Just looked around and took a cat nap.

Here's a pic from our first dr. appt together in Feb.! Tiny Babies!

Look how big we are now!
