So we have finally made it to 6Months without any major issues! No near death experiences or falling from changing tables/cribs (we won't talk about the TSA experience anymore), and no crazy infections or colds that required medical intervention (knock-on wood!). I thought they said this parenting things was hard... JUST KIDDING!
Alexandra and Annellice had their 6month appointment with the pediatrician on 3/4. Here are their stats:
Alexandra Annellice
Height: 24.25" (8%) 25" (25%)
Weight: 12lb 2oz (1%) 13lb 14oz (12%)
Head Circ.: 16.25" (20%) 16.25" (20%)
Since our visit last week Alexandra has contracted a nasty sinus/head cold. It is filling her belly with post-nasal drip which is making her feedings on the bottle rather small and difficult. We will continue to suction and put saline drops in until it goes away, the poor thing is starting to sound like a lounge singer with her cooing turning into a husky growl at times. Not sure when Annellice will start to show signs of the virus - although at the last feeding she had more than usual spit-up. Gotta love colds and gotta love it even more that there is nothing you can give the little ones to subside their discomfort (just time and sleep)
