6 months old!

It is hard to believe that half a year has passed since I was in the hospital and the twins were born!  But, it is all very exciting and rewarding to have them here and doing so well.  Last Thursday we went in for the twins 6 month appointment and the girls are doing very well!
Brooklyn weighed 16lbs and 11 ounces.  She was 24 1/4 inches long.  These stats put her in the 50-75% for weight and the 5% for height.  She is a little ahead developmentally.  Yesterday, I laid her on the floor and left the room.  When I returned she had moved about five feet by rolling I assume and was playing with a toy that was left on the floor.  She just looked up at me with this huge grin, like she had just won the lottery!
Brienna weighed 16lbs even and was 24 1/2 inches long.  These number put her in the 50% for weight and 10% for height.  Mike calls her the tall skinny one!! :)  She had an ear infection a week ago but has recovered only to get another cold a couple days later!
Otherwise all is well here on the home front.  We are keeping busy of course and loving the sun shine, when we get it!  I hope all is well with everyone and have a wonderful 4th of July!

The Kidney...

It has been a while since I updated, I guess I have been busy!!  Well, on June 9th we took Brooklyn to the specialist to talk about her etopic pelvic kidney.  And, we found out that it is just fine!  Nothing to worry about.  It is just good that we know it is there and if any problems come up we will look into it further but, for now, it will just be there.  The twins will be going back to the doctor on Thursday for their 6 month checkup.  I will update more then and I will try to get some new pictures up then too!  Have a good evening!
