6 months old-week 3

This week the boys had their 6 months check-up and shots. They did so much better this time around with the shots. They did run fever for a few days with the shots this time but they did not have the huge swollen, red knots on their thighs. They Boys are growing so well! Andrew now weighs 16#15oz and Alex 15#4oz! They are climbing up the growth chart beautifully in weight and height. They are still a little behind on head circumference, but she says that is nothing to worry about.

They also has their NICU follow up physical therapy appointment this week. Since they were born 8 weeks early they are expected to be on a 4 month old level right now but turns out they are on a 5-6 month old level! They are doing so well!

Andy is doing so much better sitting up this week. He can now sit up for a good amount of time and play.

At the beginning of the week Alex was not sitting up at all by himself. But by Thursday...he had started to sit up for a few seconds by himself!!

It won't be long and they will both be sitting up playing  together!

This week-end we celebrated Christmas with my Mom's side of the family and the boys got to open their first Christmas gifts! Alex was a little unsure of what to do but Andy enjoyed pulling the paper and trying to eat it of course!!

Sunday we decided to set up the lights and take Christmas pictures of the boys. This year I was on smile patrol and Tim gets all the credit for the pictures!! Hope you enjoy!
