Happy 6 month!
Our boys turned 6 months yesterday! Both Chris and I are shocked at how quickly the time has gone. It feels like only a month ago they were born in such fragile conditions. And though the last 6 months seem like a blur, the boys have come such a long way and mami and daddy have been noting all of their success. I don’t think anyone doubted their persistent personalities and willingness to overcome their rocky beginning! They are growing sooo big sooo quickly. At their 6 month check up today Sebastian weighed in at 14lbs.15ounces and Lucas weighed in at 13lbs.4ounces. The doc even told both of them “You can slow down now.” They are getting longer, though unfortunately it looks like they may have gotten mami’s height genes. And though visually Sebi’s noggin looks bigger than Lucas’ its less than a centimeter in diameter smaller. Haha. The Perinatal Follow Up program at the hospital told us over a month ago now that the boys were doing great and no longer needed weekly check ups so we aren’t due for another visit until December for a developmental assessment. They smile constantly and are starting to giggle. They are very social always interested in having a conversation with each other or perfect strangers on the street. They are in constant motion, including when they are feeding on the pillow, arms and legs are poking or punching themselves, their brother, or their mami! They are showing signs of emerging skills such as rolling over and sitting up. They both have found their hands and will often sit with their fingers interlaced on their chest. Twice this week by 2 different people they have been described as ‘pensive’ and Chris and I would have to agree. Overall, we are proud parents of the 2 cutest boys in Halifax, our boys Sebastian and Lucas. We are in constant awe of their strength!
