Catching Up!

Our little girls are catching up!  They had their 6 month visit today and are both 15# (Poppy was heavier by 4 ounces) and just under the 50th percentile for weight.  Pretty good since they started out completely under the growth chart.  Eve measured at 50th percentile for height too but Poppy was just 25th percentile however we're not sure how accurate that was.  Regardless we're so happy with their progress!  Oh and they both have pretty large heads or big brains as daddy likes to say :)

Eve is constantly blowing bubbles and making noises with her throat.  She also continues to drool which she's done since she was born it seems like.  Her mouth has always been a little leaky which is funny since she's the baby with the stronger suck/latch.  It seems like she's spitting up less after feeding which is nice and that might explain her weight getting closer to Poppy's since there was more of a gap last time.

Poppy loves to talk and coo.  I even caught Eve laughing at Poppy recently when she was squeeling.  It was precious!  They're finally starting to get interested in each other when they're on the floor together.  And they are also love food!  They're continuing to try all sorts of new purees and they also enjoy things to suck on like pears, apples, teething biscuits, etc.  Eve goes a little nuts and screams whenever you take any food away from her.  Pops doesn't seem to care as much.  

Esme is still losing teeth and now is missing the bottom two central incisors.  She likes to stick her tongue through there when she shows people.  And she's constantly checking the other teeth to see if there's anymore loose ones in there.  She's loving kinder and really progressing with her reading.  She's constantly practicing her letters and writing out sentences while asking us for help.

Chan of course wants to do everything Esme is doing and so he's practicing his letters too.  Chan is also loving that the babies laugh so much when he plays with them.  He's such a great big brother.

Our big helper.  Esme likes to feed the babies which is a huge help. 

Eve can't get enough of this teething biscuit!

We try to take an evening walk around the neighborhood most days.  And sometimes this is how the walk ends.  Ha ha!

Post nursing photos are my fave.  

They weren't so sleepy after nursing this night.  

These might just be their Halloween costumes.  

Peanuts!

Eve was so excited about her first trip to Coconut Island. 

Nakey, nakey babes!
