Growing and Growing

Last Wednesday we had their 6 month check-up with the doctor. He was very pleased with everything!

Kendall's weight was 13 lbs, 9 oz - height was 24 1/4 inches. This puts her on the low end of the growth chart (5 - 10%), but she is growing at a consistent rate from her previous appointments, so that is what the doctor is looking for. Since she was born 5 weeks earlier than her due date, my mom figured out that if we plotted her on the growth chart as a 5 month old (instead of 6 month), she would fall more in the 25 - 50% range for her length and the 25% range for her weight.

Kendall's favorite things to do right now are suck on her toes, flirt with her daddy, pull her brother's hair, read books and roll over! She figured out last night that if she continues to roll over, she can roll clear across the room! Now we really have to keep a close watch on her! Reece was on the other side of the room and she kept rolling from front to back, back to front until she got close. Then, she decided she wanted to come over by Jamie and me, so she rolled across again until she reached us! It was amazing to see!


Kaleb's weight was 14 lbs, 6 oz - height was 25 1/4 inches. This also puts him on the low end of the growth chart (5 - 10%), but he is growing at a consistent rate too so the doctor is happy. Plotted on the growth chart as a 5 month old (instead of 6 month), put him in the same categories as Kendall: 25 - 50% range for length and the 25% range for weight.

Kaleb's favorite things to do right now are suck on his toes, eat sweet potatos and squash, jump in the jumperoo, read books and practice sitting up. He can use his stomach muscles to sit up from a reclined position and stay sitting for a few seconds. He can also roll over, but gets frustrated on his tummy and doesn't like it near as much as Kendall does. We used to think he was the quiet one and would probably let Kendall do all of the talking, but he has become very vocal and loves to giggle! It sure is fun!


Hanging out with their favorite buddy, Reece!
