6 months!

So, we went to the Ped on Monday for the babies' 6 month check up! These are the weights:

Matthew 10 lbs 22 1/4 inches
Kaitlin 12.8 lbs 23 3/4 inches
Emma 13.8 lbs 24 inches
Austin 17 lbs 25 3/4 inches

They are all doing great. And all, except Matty ofcourse, are showing up on a "regular" growth chart for a normal, full-term six month old! Kaitlin is in the less than 5th%, but still showing up! That is great for premature babies! I know I've said this before, but I am so proud of these four babies.

Matty is doing wonderful. He is a different baby than before his surgery. No more spit up, no more constant fussing, and no more endless crying. He is eating more than ever. Before surgery, I was lucky if he ate 2-3 ounces. Now, he will eat 5-6 ounces, then within an hour, he is crying for more! Watch out, Austin!!!!!

That's so great that they're all on the growth charts. I'm sure Matty is if his age is adjusted, right? With the way his eating he'll catch up next time anyway.
