6-Months Old

The last few weeks have been quite hectic for us. We have been super busy with the new year. The boys are both doing great and continuing to grow at a rapid pace. We enjoy them so much and love all the new things they are beginning to do and the interaction with them.

Westyn has rolled over from his back to his tummy.. and of course once I got the camcorder he decided he wasn't going to do it again, but at least me and Ronnie both got to see him do it. Nawna (Darleen - the boys sitter) said the other week that she had left the room for a short second and when she came back Westyn had rolled from his tummy to his back. So watch out!! Wesley is not far behind. He gets on his side, but just hasn't got that final ump to get over from one side to the other. They are both doing good with tummy time. Westyn can hold his head up a little better and that is why he rolled over first the pediatrician told us. They are both starting to giggle and that is the cutiest thing ever. Daddy can really make Westyn laugh.

They have both found their fingers and love to suck on them and put them in their mouths.  Westyn is going to be our talker and singer and just coos and mumbles while he has his fingers in his mouth. Wesley is determined to see how much he can get in his mouth and then ends up choking his self..

We took the boys on Friday to their 6-month check up and Dr. Meyer said they are really doing great considering that they were born at 28 weeks gestation. I was so pleased to hear that. Everything checked out perfect. I told her we had started them on cereal/oatmeal and she said that was perfect and that we can now introduce them to baby food.. So today I spent time making some sweet potatoes and we will be trying that out this week!! They also graduated to big boy formula!! WOOHOO!! No more Neosure.. we are now on to regular formula. So we are super excited about that. They downfall to the appointment was shots.. of course that is never fun. They got 4 shots and then 1 liquid dose for their immunizations (this included the RSV shot). We are taking them back this week to get their flu shots.

Stats:
Westyn - 15lbs 7oz (25 3/4 long)
Wesley - 14lbs 2 oz  (26 long)

On Saturday we had our free photo session from Preemie prints that was done by Ashley with Fig-Mint Photography. She was awesome and did a great job. She has posted some preview pictures and they are absolutely amazing. They were done at our house and she really captured some awesome pictures. Here is the link to check out what she has posted on her site. http://ashleydsiegertphotography.wordpress.com/2013/01/13/preemie-prints-graduates-twins-wesley-and-westyn-shay-bryan-college-station-photographer/

Awhile back I had posted about my phone interview with Insite magazine and our article was in the January issue. So here is the link so you can read what was written.

I really hope everyone is having a great 2013 so far. I know we are truly blessed and we are enjoying each and every moment with our sweet boys. As always, please keep the boys in your prayers for them to stay healthy during the cold season and continue to grow and prosper!  I couldn't get my pictures to upload this time - bummer... but there is some under the website that Ashley took that are the most recent so hope you enjoy!! :)
