Next the doctors office. They caught a 20 minute nap in the car on the way over. We waited in the doctors office for over an hour before the doctor came in. Again, the babies were all smiles. It is like they are saying haha mom we know when you want us to smile and we will not do it. The doctor did not think it was a big deal to leave 6 month old twins waiting for over an hour. I told her they should at least have given us the courtesy to tell us they were running late. Regardless we will be changing doctor offices. Now down to the important business, the 6 month stats.

In summary, Gwen is no longer going to be a midget and brain growth has really kicked in to high gear. They are both on schedule to be average sized geniuses. Other than that everything looks good. We are starting more food, hopefully tomorrow if I can get to the store and figure out how to cook it. I also got a new piece of equipment I learned about from a fellow blogger to make my own apple sauce. I will get on that over the next few days as well. We are opting for the new approach. No purees, just soft foods. Apparently there will be a lot of gagging, but it seems to be the direction of teaching babies to eat. I told the doctor I thought Grady was leaning his head one way and slouched a lot. She sat him up and he held himself up with perfect posture and moved his head from the left to the right. Big surprise! Next time I will use reverse psychology when speaking in front of the babies.
Such a cute little boy!
Beautiful baby girl!
4 shots in total and this was just the beginning...

Well, we all overbid on the weight. No winners here.
We are in disbelief that Grady's head is only 1 inch larger than Gwen's. Shocking.
First, I HATE shots. It's so much harder with twins because (at least at our doctor's) they do one right after the other and it's hard to comfort one while holding the other to get theirs. :( The photos, I know, I know. With my oldest, his first photo shoot, he cried the whole time, then after we left he was all smiles. With two year old twins, it's impossible to get them looking at the same time and smiling, not to mention that five year olds only make goofy faces apparently. I am sure your photos are cute no matter what. I can't wait to see them. You'll love making applesauce with that attachment. My next attachment is going to be the pasta press (the one that Williams Sonoma sells for KA mixers), but I am waiting until Jan as I hear WS will no longer have sole rights and therefore it might lower in price and be offered more place (the price is the big thing though). I'll blog about it when I get it. That would be another good one for you to get in a few months when they are ready for pasta. :)
