No picture to go with this post - sorry. I know posts without pictures are no fun.
Anyway, here are the stats from our 6 month checkup.
Malia:
11.47 pounds
24.25 inches tall
Michael:
11.97 pounds
24.5 inches tall
Both kids are in the 0 %tile for weight. Michael is in the 2nd %tile and Malia the 8th %tile for height. We go back in 6 weeks for a checkup to make sure they are gaining weight. The doctor said their development is right on, but their weight is low. As long as they keep increasing then we do not need to worry. (I'm trying to not worry.)
In order to encourage packing on the pounds, I received some advice from a friend who also has a small baby. We will be upping feedings to every two hours and changing the solids to more calorie dense solids such as avocados and greek yogurt. I've never fed them yogurt before, so we'll see how that goes.
Other than the weight, everything went really well at the appointment. More shots, but the kids did great. A little cranky the following day, but what do you expect?

Good job kiddos! I'm sure they'll catch up on the weight soon... they are happy, healthy, beautiful babes. No worries, we can all see what a great job you're doing, Momma!
Chrissy you are a fantastic Mom. Why would you even question anything that you do? You take such good care of Michael & Malia, keep the house clean, do everything else. You deserve a Gold Medal for everything you do & will have to do. I say you are doing fabulous!!!!
