Oh how they've grown.

This post is in honor of Brooklyn and Emmalyn's 6-month "birthday". Yes I know I'm nearly a month late, but hey...I'm a busy woman!! Anyway their pediatrician was very impressed with their growth at their check up. Here were their stats:

Emmalyn - 13 lbs 7 oz, 25 in
Brooklyn - 14 lbs 1 oz, 25 in
They are in the 25th percentile measuring with other 6 month olds and the 75th percentile with other 4 month olds, their gestational age.

To show how much these girls have grown we "recreated" some of the pictures that we took of them while they were in the NICU right after they were born.

Emmalyn has gotten over her ear infection and is back to her normal self, and then some!! Her appetite has sky-rocketed and has finally taken to rice cereal. Both girls are getting rice cereal and fruits/veggies twice a day along with some juice or water.

Both girls have rolled from their stomachs to their backs and will do it randomly. They're getting really close to rolling the other way but still haven't quite gotten the hang of it. They're starting to sit up on their own, but still have quite a ways to go with that one. They continue to love to just lay on the floor with a few toys to chew on and jabber away. Here are a few more pictures...
