Half a year old!

The girls turned 6 months old on Friday. To me, it seems like there have been so many changes in the past month. In general, both girls are eating and sleeping very well. They dropped their nighttime feeding, so we are getting more sleep (yay!). They go to bed around 7 PM and get up around 5:30/6:00 AM. They are still waking up randomly some nights, but mostly just for a quick pacifier fix. We started solids and the girls have liked everything they've tried. So far, no ma-ma's or da-da's, just lots of yelling and screeching. The girls get SO loud when they are playing. I wonder what people walking in our hallway must think is going on in our condo! They love music and get a kick out of us singing and dancing for them (you would, too, if you saw the stuff we come up with - ha!) They are still very interested in the other one and grab at each other if we lay them close together.

Morgan's stats: Weight = 16 lbs 9 oz, Height = 26 in, Head = 43.4 cm
Her height and weight are right around the 50th percentile, and her head is closer to the 80th percentile. Morgan is still our smiley, giggly girl. At night, if she gets overly tired, she is especially giggly - kind of like slap-happy. It's cute, but not usually a good thing. She got her first tooth this past week. If she doesn't want something, she gives it a huge swat away, usually with her left hand... bottle, paci, toy, your hand messing with her nose/face/ears, whatever. Her hair continues to grow straight up - our little fuzzball!

Avery's stats: Weight = 15 lbs 12 oz, Height = 25.25 in, Head = 43.6 cm

Her weight is a little below the 50th percentile, her height is around the 25-30th percentile, and her head is closer to the 80th percentile. So, basically, she's a shorty. Never thought a kiddo of mine would be below average in height! No teeth yet for Avery, but there's a bump and we think one will be popping out soon. She blows raspberries all the time. The worst is when she's eating and decides to do it. This is partly why she is the messiest eater! Also, because she loves to "help" when we feed her... she grabs the spoon or uses her hand to push the food in her mouth.

Matt and I are having such a fun time watching these girls grow and change! Every day they do something sweet that makes us smile or something crazy that makes us laugh!
