Komarnicki Kids

The babies had their 6 month check up today. The doctor said they are doing great! We got a lot of information today because they are doing so many new things!

The doctor seems to think they'll both have teeth within a few weeks... I feel like they've been having teething symptoms for months now! She also said they are right where they need to be on the track to sitting up. We just need to keep helping them along! She also gave the ok to try sippy cups with water in them, and can give them the little snacks that dissolve instantly. This way they can start learning to put food in their mouths!

We also asked her about switching car seats because they are getting heavy in their infant carriers, and will only get heavier from here on out! She said that would be fine to go ahead and switch them. The other styles would stay in the car, but still face the back. We just have to wait until they can sit in highchairs better, because right now if we go out to eat, they sit in their car seats while we eat. So once they are a bit more stable in the highchairs, we'll make the switch!

We hope to slowly start switching Addison from her current formula ($26 a can!!) to the normal priced formula. She is on the hypoallergenic formula now, so switching will be a slow process. If we give her 5 oz. we will put 4 of her current formula and 1 of the new, and do that for awhile, then start adding more of the new formula, and so on until it's all new. This will take awhile, and she may not even keep it down. We'll see! I'm not sure when we'll start that transition though.

Also, we would like for the babies to not use their pacifiers anymore by the time they are 1. I think we use it more for our own sake than theirs now anyway. They like to pull them out of their mouths and play with them now, so hopefully weaning them won't be too big of a challenge. We may set our goal for 8 months and see how that goes.

I think that about covers most of the points we talked about today during our appointment. Here are their latest stats:

Addison:
Weight - 14 lb 3 oz (18th percentile)
Height - 25 1/2 inches (30th percentile)
Head 16 1/2 inches (26th percentile)

Fischer:
Weight - 13 lb 12 oz (1st percentile)
Height - 26 inches (23rd percentile)
Head - 17 inches (25th percentile)
