Has it really been six months?! Owen and Emmaline are growing, growing, growing, so I couldn't wait to find out their progress at their six month check up, which was yesterday.
Emmaline: Weight 14 lbs, 12 oz (25th percentile)...Length 25 1/2 inches (45th percentile)...Head 16 1/2 (35th percentile)
Owen: Weight 16 lbs, 4 oz (25th percentile)...Length 26 1/4 inches (45th percentile)...Head 17 1/4 (50th percentile)
As usual, the shots were NO fun, and since they turned six months they were eligible for a flu shot, which their mean parents agreed to go ahead and add to the other three boosters they are required to have. Poor Emmaline was pretty grumpy today, so I'm blaming the flu shot! She went to bed an hour earlier than usual this evening, and looked grateful to be doing so.
Vince took last week off, and we had a relaxing time. He worked on putting the backsplash up in our kitchen, and we took the babies on a few trips to walk around the Arboretum in the unseasonably warm weather. Since he's been going to Houston so much, it's been impossible for me to get out in the evenings with friends on weeknights. So I went to dinner one night and to a Junior League Happy Hour another...yippee! Vince did a great job putting both babies to bed by himself on those nights, which I think should be considered a sport, the delicate balance of one person keeping both babies happy during the bedtime routine is so fragile! :)
Owen and Emmaline are able to sit up now with assistance, and love playing in their excersaucer and jumper. We also introduced vegetables with their rice cereal last week, and peas are definitely not a favorite. So, I moved on to sweet potatoes today, which was embraced by Owen, but Emmaline shot me a few not-so-polite faces. I couldn't help but laugh!

Emmaline plays statue most of the time for the camera now! She was cracking up pretty loudly right before I took this...
"C'mere frog, I'm going to cover you in drool!" 
A baby activity stand-off. 
Again, Emmaline freezing for the camera. 
Owen: "Ha, my hand is on your side!"Emmaline: "Ho hum, I need more excitement in my life. What is he saying again about his hand?"
"Check it out, we're touching feet!" 
"Excuse me Cook, but what will we be having today?" 
"These straps must be here to keep me from bolting after I see the peas."
