6 month checkup!

Today my mom and I took the babies for their 6 month well baby checkup (although they are almost 7 months old). All the babies are doing great and growing ahead of schedule. Dr. Gordon (our wonderful pediatrician) compares our preemie babies to regular 6 month babies which helps put it all into perspective. Our 3 babies are matching up quite well and based on their weight, height, and head circumference you would never know they were born premature!

Carter weighs 17 lbs 6 oz (50%), height 26" (40%)

Chloe weighs 14 lbs 14 oz (25%), height 25 5/8 (45%)

Cooper weighs 17 lbs 7 oz (50%), height 26 3/4 (70%)

*percentages are percentile on growth chart for their age*

Carter, Chloe, and Cooper are all reaching their necessary milestones for their age which is great too! He calls the next 3-4 months the honeymoon phase because our babies are happy, playful, but don't move anywhere. I know our life is going to change big time when they can crawl and walk away...Yikes!

Our pediatrician started his own parenting information website, which I think is wonderful. He said we could share with anyone and everyone. www.gregorygordonmd.com Check it out!
