6 months!

I can't believe the boys are 6 months old today... time has really flown by ... soon they'll be crawling, walking ... and then heading off to college. Geez!

The boys got to visit Dr. Lange this morning to celebrate their half birthday and here are the stats:

Andrew ( "Android", "And-doo", "Big Man on campus"):
26 and 5/8 in - 60th percentile
19 lbs and 9 oz - 85% percentile

Daniel ("Dan-Dan", "Dan the Man", "Little Man")
26 and 1/2 in - 50th percentile
17 lbs and 12 oz - 50th percentile

Ellie ("Ell-Bell", "Ellie Bellie", "Ellie-Bellewinsky", "Ellie-Bellerina", "The Bellie", "Tinkle Monster") -
10 lbs 6 oz
Note: She went to vet last week ... we'd also like to point out she has about 50 nicknames to the boys 2 or 3 each. Why is that?

Ellie gets in on some play time action:


Since my work hiatus and minimal nanny-help, the boys are really getting around town! This week they went to Target and I found out it's not so hard to take them shopping, just the three of us. (Usually my mom is with us). I'm loving memorial city mall and I'll be "mall-walking" this summer to beat the heat!



Andrew and Daniel are starting to like their bumbos (but not really). It's fun to sit outside though and knock stacking cups around. My little future architects:


We put the boys to bed the other night and heard some whimpering over the baby monitor ... but it wasn't Andrew or Daniel... Turns out Ellie went back for "Mr. Bear" and got herself locked in the boys' room. We often tend to find her here... scouting for Rice cereal:
