6 Months!

The six month check up went well. Matilda is right at 15 lbs. Elinor is around 15 lbs and 10 oz. both little ladies are 26 1/4 inches long. Their heads measured 44cm. That means they are in the 50th percentile for weight, the 75th for height and the 90th for head size. Skinny, tall and brainy just like their daddy. Well, two out of 3 ain't bad. They're doing great with sweet potatoes and loved bananas this morning. They both have the beginnings of a tooth. The doctor said that they are doing great and that you'd never have known they were premies. To reinforce that point I've juxtaposed some pictures from when they were brand new, to remind us all how far they've come in just 6 months. If that doesn't warm your heart and make you a little teary then you're a cold, unfeeling monster and I'd like you to stop visiting this blog!

Yes, that was the first time Ellie ever wore clothes. And that was a premie shirt!
