6 Months Old

Yesterday, September 1st, Maxon and Zane celebrated their very first half birthday. We are so happy we have had the past 6 months to spend with them. They entered this world fast and furious and then spent the next 3 1/2 weeks in the NICU learning how to eat. We finally got to bring them home and it was the happiest day ever.

They have continued to grow healthy and strong and to thrive. Maxon weighed in at 4 lbs 9 oz and Zane was 4 lbs 6 oz. They were both right around 16 inches, well they have both gained about 10 lbs and grown 10 inches as well. They are small for being 6 months, but no smaller than their big sister Scarlett was when she was their age. They are on the percentile charts and that is good enough for me.

They still to share a crib and will until they can't stand sleeping by each other any longer, but as you can see from the picture they take up the whole thing. They are both starting to show their little personalities too. Maxon seems a little more shy and reserved and is content to just lay there. Zane loves attention and loves to kick around and stand all the time. Both have started tripod sitting and are doing everything a normal 6 month old baby can do. Both of them are major flirts and insight riots everywhere we go with people wanting to see the smiling twins. To me they look nothing alike, but some find it hard to tell them apart. Both look so much like Seth, but Zane a little more so.

I thank my Heavenly Father every day that he blessed us with them and that they are happy and healthy babies.

Oh and Max is in the darker green and Zane in the lighter green. The pic with the snowman pillow is their first night home and the other pic is about 5 days old in the hospital.
