Current stats:
Colt: 14 lbs, 24 1/2"
Luke: 14 lbs 1 oz, 24 3/4"
Can you believe they're that close in size?!?

They've both found their hands and feet (this actually happened just after they were 5 months old)
They're starting to hold their own bottles (well... sort of)
They've had rice cereal off of a spoon
They're just beginning to hold toys and reach for things
I've resorted to making my own gripe water. I refuse to keep buying the stuff from the store (at $10/bottle!) and I'm pretty sure the boys are addicted to it. Seriously, this stuff is magic and we go through a ton of it!!
Their adjusted age is 4 1/2 months
I got out the exersaucer and cleaned it up a few days ago. I'm betting we put it to use in the next few weeks.... but Jack always has to give the toys a test-run before the boys have at it :)
They're mostly wearing 3-6 month clothes
They made the switch to size 2 diapers this past weekend
They both get swaddled for all sleep times and sleep all night in their crib (although we're working on not swaddling so much).
They eat at 8am, 11am, 2:30pm, 5pm, and 6:45pm followed by bedtime around 7:30pm. Colt is taking 4 1/2 oz. per bottle and Luke gets 5 oz. Colt is on Similac Sensitive and Luke was on a mixture of rice formula and breast milk until 2 days ago..... he's exclusively on formula now :( I've been pumping for what seems like forever and finally gave it up. I feel great to have done it this long, but feel somewhat guilty since I breastfed Jack for 13 months!! But I'm relishing the fact that there's one less thing on my daily to-do list.

Egh... they're not doing as well as I'd like sleeping through the night yet, but it's getting better. Most nights I'm up 3-4 times for paci control or a quick patting to go back to sleep. But, 6 months straight without a full nights sleep is getting really old. I'm just sayin'.

Here's what really happens at our photo shoots!!

I love at the photo out takes :) Can't wait to get together again soon
ReplyDeleteHow can the twins be 6 months old already?? Wow, the time is passing by!! I love it that I have been able to see them pretty often, it's been worth every minute, and I'll never forget these days with them while they are so little. They are darling - all 3 of them!!
