We had the LOs 6 month appointment yesterday, and they are ON THE CHART! Not only are they officially on the growth chart for their REAL age, but they are doing great: 50% for height, 50% for head size and 25% for weight. Yay!!! The dr even said they are acting like normal 6 month old babies:)So much so that she talked to us about finger foods (though not for another month) and sippy cups, which I guess I am going to need to buy soon.
There were a few other things we talked about, mainly about how Hazel pukes 2 dozen times a day (I kid you not)and Elijah's eyes. For H we are going to try and switch to a soy-based formula for awhile and see if it helps, and we are upping her Zantac from .7ml/3x day to 1ml/3x day. Hopefully the lava flow out of her mouth will slow:) As for E's eyes...well...the dr was 'impressed' by how bad they are for his age. Good thing we already have an appointment for the Eye Clinic. She said he will definitely have a patch and/or glasses soon, but surgery is never done this young. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
And for the question about the mobiles in our nursery, I made them:) It was my busy project when I couldn't move for months while I was pg. The LOs love watching the birds move.

What a great doc appointment! I just LOVE the nursery. The mobiles are so creative!
