Happy Six Month Birthday, Babies!

Our sweet boy, Ryan is now:
14 lbs 10 oz (5th percentile)

26" long (22nd percentile)

Amazing what a difference six months makes! He's now:

- Smiling like this most of the time with such a relaxing demeanor

- Rolling over

- Ready to sit up any day!

- Wearing size 2 diapers, 3-6 mo clothes (almost ready for 6-9 mo!) and eating 7 oz bottles 5x/day

- LOVES to sleep on his tummy and is the BEST sleeper (please don't let this jinx it!)

- Loves his paci and his jumperoo

- Giggles and roars like a lion

Miss Brooke is definitely our little princess:

14 lbs 2 oz (14th percentile ) the smallest but the cutest, chunkiest legs :-)
24 1/4" long (10th percentile)

- Loves to smile for anyone who's in sight
- Rolls over
- Loves to "talk" to anyone, including her hands!

- Wearing size 2 diapers, 3-6 mo clothes and drinking 7 oz bottles 5x/day
- Loves her paci and entertaining herself in the exersaucer

- Still on Omeprazole for reflux but spits up the least of the three (thank goodness for that!)

- Loves to be held and cuddled

- Sticks out her tongue on command (when she sees you doing it - thanks for teaching her this new trick, Grandma Helen!)

Our Jackaroo is a happy one with that open mouth smile :-)

14 lbs 14 oz (8th percentile)

26 1/4" long (30th percentile)
- Has found his voice (mostly his scream!) and loves to vocalize a lot lately

- Has started doing raspberries/blowing bubbles with his mouth

- Rolls over like a champ and will probably be rolling around the room very soon

- Wearing size 2 diapers and into 6-9 mo sleepers, soon enough on the clothes, drinks the same amount as Ryan/Brooke, just spits up at least 1/2 of it :-)
- Loves to sleep on his tummy lately; has figured out how to roll over at night sometimes in his swaddle! He's usually the one to wake up the gang sometime during the night/morning, no monitor needed.

- On Prevacid for reflux but still seems to spit up ALL THE TIME. Can't WAIT for this stage to be over! Whenever we have visitors he's quick to sniff out their clean shirts and soak them!

- Loves to have something soft on face to relax him (especially loves his blanket bear!) and goes crazy in the jumperoo

The group shot of the babies - loved this one! It wasn't cropped, everyone was just happy at the same time!?!?

Big brother Kyle took such a cute picture we had to get this one too. This was probably the only smile during the whole photo session...I'm sure I was bribing him with a sucker :-)

It's so hard to believe that six months have gone by already. It's been an amazing journey so far, sometimes I have to pinch myself because I can't believe just three short years ago we wondered if we could ever have a child and now we're blessed with four amazing little ones who make us smile every day.
