6 month well-check

We went to the doctor yesterday for the 6-month well check appointment.  We had our last vaccines for a while, yay!  Here are the updated weights and stats...

Evan 17# 8 oz, Ht 26.75", head 17.5"
Ryan 17#, Ht 26.25", head 17.25"
Collin 16# 15 oz, Ht 26.25", head 17.75"

Ryan and Collin are still pretty close, they look different to us most of the time but there are moments (especially when they are sleeping) where you can really tell they are identical.  They both sleep on their belly now and flip over almost immediately when laid on their backs.  No issues on their check-ups.  Ryan still has the hemangiomas, a big one on his back, and a little cluster on his left side, but they are not a problem.

Evan still doesn't roll much, and his head is still a little flat on the right.  We may need to get a helmet for him because his forehead isn't quite symmetrical from the flattening... we're waiting to hear from the company and get all the information before we do that though.  We want to get all the information.  He also has an appointment with another specialist for another non-medical issue.  Otherwise he is doing great!  You can't even tell he has the hemangioma, we'll continue the medicine for another 6 months more than likely, especially since it is doing such a great job.  And he's obviously the big boy of the group!

They are all pretty much spot on developmentally, no real delays to speak of.  They are definitely vocal, Ryan and Collin have no problems rolling, and they use their hands constantly.

We are supposed to start spoon-feeding any time, but I'm post-poning another couple of weeks for selfish reasons... The first is that we are driving to Houston with the boys for their first car trip, and it is just too much to mess with and will be too messy.  The second is that it is just too much to mess with and so messy in general!  Once we start, that's the end, there is no going back to our easy 4 times a day bottle feedings.  I'll post updates and more importantly PICTURES of that once we start!

Here's pictures of our play session last week...

Evan, loves to pat his head :)

  1. The boys look like BOTH of their parents-- I don't know how, but I think that they somehow ended up the perfect mix of Caroline and Sean!

  2. PS-- Not that I'm choosing favorites or anything, but I'm a big fan of the head-patting picture of Evan :)
