Summer Time & Six Months Old

Thursday was the dynamics duo's 6 month birthday and pediatrician appointment day. Here's the stats:

Reid 19 lbs. 27 inches long: 75th percentile
Eva 14 lbs. 3 oz. 25 1/2 inches long: 25th percentile

Yep, Eva has a long way to catch up (um, I don't think that will ever happen). Besides still having stuffy noses, they are healthy and doing well. We don't go back to the doctor until their 9 month appointment in August. For a belated 1/2 year birthday celebration, we took the babies to the pool today for the first time. This meant Eva got to wear her new bikini! She better enjoy it now- it's only 1 pieces after the age of 13 .. ha ha ha. They weren't sure what to think at first but didn't really fuss and loved it. Reid was kicking like crazy!





And for those who say Eva never smiles for pictures, I actually caught one on camera a few days ago.

My First Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day was wonderful. It started off by getting to sleep in (8 am- woo hoo!), having a wonderful breakfast cooked by my husband, receiving a beautiful bracelet with a charm and both of the kids' names on it along with a cute Mommy & Me picture frame, and finishing the day with all of the family out at Susie and Scott's house. I couldn't have asked for a better day! Here's a new picture of me rocking my babies:


Eva and Reid are both eating like champs now. Moving on to stage 2 foods soon. They love their new high chairs & yes, Eva does eat with her leg up like that:



Reid doesn't like to sit still for very long, as evident of his new way to get out of his bouncer when he's done with his bottle:


Thursday is the big 1/2 year birthday. Along with that comes our 6 month shots (yuck) but we'll report on the weights/heights then. And, I'll try to get a 6 month photo shoot in. That may have to wait until the weekend.. working makes me too busy and tired these days!
