check-up

Tonight was Caleb and Logan's 6 month check-up.  Here are the stats:  Caleb is 25 3/4 inches long (15th percentile) and 13lb 11oz (off the charts); Logan is also 25 3/4 inches long, and is 13lb 14oz (off the charts as well).  Yes, the boys are still small for their age, but they are gaining, healthy, and doing well developmentally so the doctor is not concerned.  As he says, "they're just a little peanuty".  :)  We don't have to go in for any weight checks coming up!!  Nothing scheduled until their 9 month visit.

Before checking them over the doctor mentioned some of the developmental things they should be doing.  Then he got to witness firsthand how they like to grab at things - his stethoscope, his watch, the thingie he used to look in their ears, the paper on the bed...  He just laughed and said, "Yup, that's perfect!"  When Logan was laying down getting checked over he totally grabbed the paper over is head and pulled it down over himself, and then he spit up big time too - thankfully it was on the paper and that's an easy clean up.  I felt like the room was a disaster by the time we left!

They did have to get shots at this appointment.  Mike and I noticed that they both seemed to have more of a 'pain' scream this time - they both screamed at previous shots, but it just sounded different this time.  No shots at the next visit - phew!
