We took 6 month measurements of the boys today. The first official measurements we took was about one week after the boys came home, on Feb. 1st. Six months later, on Aug. 1st:
Ben is now 29 pounds (feels like 35:) and 34 and 3/8 inches tall.
Nick is now 24.8 pounds and 33 and 5/8 inches tall.
In this 6 month period, Ben has grown 3.38 inches and has gained 7 pounds.
In this 6 month period, Nick has grown 3.88 inches and has gained 4.8 pounds.
I am recovering from a bout of pneumonia and my niece, Jana, is here to help during my recovery. She has been a life saver and they are having so much fun with her.

great to hear they are really progressing. Kevin used to eat that fast, but ever since his surgery he has slowed down a bit. For sandwiches, I cut them into quarters and then give him one section at a time. When he is finished with it I make sure he has swallowed the whole thing and takes a swig of milk before I give him another section. This helps a lot with the speed. He would shove 3 quarters of a pbj sand. in his mouth and then couldn't swallow. this has definitely helped.
Sounds like they are really flourishing with all the love and wonderful care that they are getting!
I hope that you are feeling better and better everyday. Hopefully we can get together soon!
sounds like the boys are growing and you're feeling better. good news all around!
That's some growth and weight gain! Wow! That's wonderful! The feeding ideas are great!
I'm glad you're feeling a little better, but sounds like you still have a ways to go. Take care of yourself!
