6 month check-ups

Last Wednesday the 17th Ben and I took the girls for their 6 month check-ups. They are doing good on their height and head growth. Dr. Stanford was pleased with Brittyn's weight gain but he said Lexyn needs to be eating more.

Brittyn:
weight: 11 pounds and 3.6 ounces
height: 24 and 1/2 inches

Lexyn:
weight: 10 pounds 11 ounces
height: 24 and 3/4 inches

I told him that Lexyn had been having diarrhea for over a week so that was to explain her slow weight gain. She had only gained 4 ounces in a month. Somehow the nurse messed up measuring their heights because Brittyn is well over an inch taller than Lexyn.

The girls got their 6 month shots, but they were not able to get their synagis shot. Since they had that reaction of target lesions last month they are no longer allowed to get their synagis shot. We asked the doctor what exactly that meant we needed to do as precautions and he said stay away from crowds including church until April when RSV season is over. That is not going to be fun but we will do what ever it takes to keep the girls healthy and out of the hospital.

Brittyn is getting up on all fours and rocking. She lunges forward and scoots. It won't be long until she is crawling. I can't believe my babies are about to crawl. Lexyn is a little behind Brittyn but she has started getting up on all fours too. The developemental therapy is really helping them.
