The boys had their 6 month check up yesterday with Dr. Cohen. Mom came with me and gave me the okay on their pediatrician. This was her first time to meet him. He decided not to give vaccines as Nathan sounded weasy from his cold. We'll go back the end of this coming week. He was very pleased with their progress. He says we can feed all foods including meat now. No dairy, eggs, peanut, fish or honey though. He wants Nathan to go in a crib now. Nathan has been sleeping in a pack-n-play in the living room. I think he doesn't want him to get too used to that and have a hard time transiting to a crib. The doc wants us to start baby proofing and to put the cribs down to a lower position. He has changed their vitamins to a new one with fluoride in it as our well water does not have it. He has taken Nathan off the zantec as Nathan nicely obliged us and spit up 3 times in front of the doctor! but not on the doctor. He is putting him on another drug which starts with a p (more on the name later) to see if we can curb the spitting up. Nathan is not hindering his growing but it does hinder what we do with him so he is not getting as much exposure to things. Like we really can't put him on his belly to practice crawling any time remotely after eating. Or we hold Thomas in all different positions when we play with him but Nathan get stuck pretty much only in the upright position. Here are their latest stats:

Thomas 15.5 lbs 26 inches long
Nathan 14 lbs 24 inches long

Our friend Kathe gave us a mobile that we hung over Thomas' crib. He is enthralled with it! He gets these huge eyes and a little o shaped mouth. It is so cute.

I noticed Thomas reach up and push his pacifier back in his mouth the other day.

We had a really nice weekend. It's wonderful to have a few extra pairs of hands. The boys exhibited no strangeness with their grandparents but my parents did go slow with picking them up.

must tend my charges now.
