6 Months and Other Happenings

On Sunday, the boys officially turned 6 months!  Half a year- whoa!  I feel so lucky because even though they are 6 months, they are really more like 3 months which means we get babies for longer!

Here are their stats from the 6 month check-up:

Lawson:  23 inches long and 11 lbs. 10 oz.

Sutton:  22.5 inches long and 11 lbs. 12 oz.

These stats put them below the second percentile in height and weight compared to their same-age peers.  For their adjusted age (3 months), they are around the 10th percentile, although their pediatrician said that coming up with a percentile for an adjusted age in preemies born this early is really a shot in the dark.  The doctor did say that they looked "perfect" and he was extremely pleased with their growth.  Poor babies had to get their 6 month shots:(.  I was sooooo glad that Grandma Lulu was there to help as we had 2 inconsolable babies for a good 5-10 minutes.

On another note, we had a great 4th of July holiday!  The boys were so excited to meet their cousins on the Pennington side!  We were also super excited to meet our new nephew Greyson and of course reunite with our other nephew Gage and niece Emma Kate.  We had a great time hanging out with the family and catching up!  We also got lots of help with the boys which was so great:).

I've had lots of people ask about Sutton's health.  So far the only update we have is that his echocardiogram was perfect!  He had this done in Columbia while the Andrew's family was in town, so the boys' Nanny (Andrew's mom) got to spend some quality one on one time with Lawson, which they both loved!  As of now, we are just working on scheduling the scope in KC.  This time we plan on being super prepared to spend the night/s there.
