Six Months!!!






Last week Lanie and Lindy were six months old! They had their check up yesterday and are both doing great. Lanie is 16 pounds 9 ounces and Lindy is 12 pounds 13 ounces. They continue to be about 4 pounds apart. Lanie is 25 inches long and Lindy is 24 inches long. Lindy is trying so hard to catch up! They are going to start solids today. We'll start with cereal and then go to vegetables from there. I am so excited! Maybe they will get full tummies and start sleeping better. But if they don't...their doctor gave us a plan to try to trick them into sleeping! Kyle and I are VERY happy about that. I am so proud--both babies are on the growth curve for SIX MONTH olds...he didn't have to correct their ages! That is so amazing considering how small they were at birth! They both continue to reach their milestones-a lot of them earlier than they are supposed to. We feel so blessed!

One of the most exciting things about yesterday is the doctor took Lindy off of the Enfacare formula. Now they are on the same one and it will be a little cheaper! We were so excited--we went straight to Sam's, got some membership cards and some huge formula cans! Now we don't have to use our parents to get in the door! We are really looking forward to getting a babysitter so we can go to Sam's. Isn't that pathetic?! Kyle LOVES to buy things in bulk. He likes to be prepared. I just like to spend money-on anything. So we've found our perfect place!

I posted some six month pictures of them. I added the ones with no clothes on so you can see how fat they are getting. Molly calls Lanie the "chubby" one and Lindy the "tiny" one. Hopefully she'll stop that before they get a complex!!!
