6 Month Stats

We made it to the doctor this past week. So here are the twins stats...

Remie - 14 pounds 5 ounces (25%ile) 25 1/2 inches long (45%ile)
Hallie - 13 pounds 12 ounces (23%ile) 25 inches long (25%ile)

I did a little research and found Rylie and Sydnie's stats when they were 6 months old...So I thought it would be fun to compare.

At 6 months:
Rylie - 15 pounds 14 ounces 27 inches long
Sydnie - 16 pounds 15 ounces 28 inches long


We are not as far along as the big sisters were, but we are just cruising right along. Both are growing and doing well. We have had our first colds. It actually started with Big Sister Rylie, and then made it's way to the babies.

We had Hallie into the doctor two weeks ago for a bad cough. At the time, there was really nothing we could do. We were still coughing when we went in for their 6 month check-ups and he gave us a decongestant!! YEAH!!! Maybe now we will go back to sleeping through the night!

6 Months Already!

HOLY COW! The twins are 6 months old! Where has the time gone? They are such a joy & a blessing to have in our home. I was thinking about them this morning and when we found out that we were having TWO babies...how overwhelmed I felt, and how that seems like it was yesterday.

We don't go back to the doctor until January 20th. So I don't have any updated weights. However, Remie is still heavier then Hallie. You can tell just by picking them up in their car seats.

I thought it would it might be fun to give a few stats at 6 months.

On average:

* 9 diapers a day (4 of which are poopy) We were going through 20 diapers a day when they were newborns!
* 9 - 8oz. bottles a day
* 1 big can of formula very 3-4 days (we are buying the cheapest ones at 11.88 - I will let you do the math)
* 1 jar of baby food a day...we haven't decided if we like the baby food thing yet.
* Sleeping through the night for the last 3 nights (Priceless!)

We are still not sitting up by ourselves or rolling over yet, but we are working on it.

Hallie and Remie -

Christmas at Grandma Joy's

After we open our Christmas at our house, we go to Soda to spend the rest of the day with my family. Apparently, we didn't take very many pictures. I didn't even noticed until I went to put them on the blog. Very Sad.

The big girls were tearing threw presents so fast, I have no idea what happened to them. Sorry!

Christmas Morning

Santa made it! Sydnie checking out what is in her stocking.


Remie and Hallie watching their big sisters make a huge mess!


Remie and Hallie - Everything they opened, went right to their mouths. It was fun to watch. And every picture I have of them, they are looking down.




All four of them. Rylie, Remie, Sydnie, and Hallie


Sydnie has been asking her dad to get some "Hunting Pants" for quite awhile. We finally found a pair...but I think they are still a little big for her. I guess she will be able to grow into them. She was so excited!


Rylie and Remie


The twins checking out their new Christmas Present. They get mad at it, because they can't get the toys into their mouths.


Remie-the end of a very exhausting morning!

Christmas Eve @ Grandma Shirley's

Every year we go over to Ryan's mom and dad's for Christmas Eve. The kids do a craft of some sort. This year they made real Gingerbread Houses. They were great! I wish I would have gotten some pictures. Although, I think Ryan had more fun decorating them the girls did.

Sydnie sitting on Santa's lap. Syd was so funny this year. She is so excited for Santa. Which is a big change from a couple of years ago. She cried, and cried, and cried, when she said on Santa's lap. This year I think she was the fastest one up there.


Hallie and Remie

All of the grand-children on Ryan's side. This is the first time we have had all of the kids together for a while. So we thought we would make them suffer through a picture. Braden is the oldest and is leaving for Iraq in the next couple of weeks. Our prayers are with him and we hope he returns safe!


Santa's little helper. I really don't know which one it is....it is so sad. It is either Hallie or Remie.

Remie's New Trick

Remie has learned a new trick. She scrunches up her nose and then snorts. It is quite cute. Hallie is starting to do it, but not as good as Remie yet.
