Checkup

Today the girl's had their 6 month checkup (even though they're only 5 1/2 months). It is amazing how much they are growing. LK is now 15 lbs. 12 oz. and 25.75 inches long. Wow! She is in the 50th percentile for preemies her age. Dr. Smith said she is the healthiest 6 month old she's seen today - Taylor thinks that is very impressive :) MM is still on the small side - she weighs 12 lbs. 2 oz. and is 23.25 inches long. She is only in the 5th percentile for preemies her age. Dr. Smith said she isn't concerned since her length and weight are proportional - she thinks she's just going to be a petite little thing. But, she wants to see her back in 6 weeks just make sure she's still gaining.

We've gotten the green light to start with some 2nd foods - much more interesting flavors! The girls did great with their shots - they only cried for a few seconds. Dr. Smith was impressed with how well they are sitting up. Kennedy is really just a few weeks away from sitting up by herself. MM is still a little wobbly but it won't be long for her either! She thinks MM's teeth will probably come before Kennedy's - her gums are starting to thin out. I'm ready! Poor things are so fussy with their teeth these days.

Overall - a great doctor visit! Thanks, Mrs. Ann, for coming by to visit us!
