Their 6 month check-up revealed that their heads are in the 90-95th percentile! And Ellie's height is in the 90th percentile, while Grey's is in the 75th percentile. Their weights are a bit lower, 50th for Elle's and 25th for Grey. So they are long and lean, with giant heads. The doctor said that head size is genetic so if one of the parents has a large hat size....um....I'm just saying...Dad has a pretty big head. :)
This is such a fun age. Ellie and Grey are eating their solids and initially we thought Grey was going to just eat everything in front of him. However, surprisingly, Ellie has been the bigger chow-hound! They are eating their purees great. So far, they both love their fruits and veggies, although I think Ellie doesn't quite care for bananas. We haven't tried any meats yet, so that will be next.
We are working on sitting unassisted. Grey-Grey does pretty well, but still topples over. Ellie requires a bit more support. We are actually thinking Grey-Grey is going to learn to crawl soon. He can get his knees up under him but hasn't yet figured out what to do with his arms. Ellie seems content to play on her back or stomach. We figure that once she sees Grey make a move, she'll learn pretty quick after that.
I started back to work for the first time after a 9 month hiatus. I had to dust off the cobwebs in my head. It was good to be back, but it was so hard to leave the twins. Coming home and seeing their faces light up was the best welcome. Their faces show pure joy and innocence and I am reminded of how much my viewpoint and priorities have changed since having them. I am proudest and happiest just being their mom.
