The girls turned 6 months old this week. Gosh, time flies. Their doctor's visit went well and they were pleased with the girls' development. Here are the stats:
Sylvia
head: 17 inches -- 75th percentile
height: 25.5 inches--50th percentile
weight: 17lbs 3.4 oz--75th percentile
Evelyn
head: 16.25 inches -- 15th percentile
height: 25.25 inches -- 25th percentile
weight: 15lbs 15.4oz -- 50th percentile
Evelyn still holds her title of "itty bitty," but 50th percentile for weight is great. She has a solid little muscle-bound body. David calls her his "eel." Sylvia is definitely bigger; she's a chubby baby with fat rolls on fat rolls. The little ladies couldn't be more different and so special in their own ways. We are incredibly lucky!
Another 6 month note that they had their first fever 6 days before their half birthday. Evelyn had a really rough night and spent the entire evening in my arms. It was pretty terrible to see her so unhappy. Sylvia had a fever a few days before Evelyn, but was her typical happy go lucky self. We would have never known she had a fever if she wasn't taking super long naps and felt hot to the touch. I guess they were bound to pick up something eventually and I think six months is pretty good to be without a cold or any illness!
Happy half year birthday, babies!
