Wow, time is really flying by! We are just a few days shy of Christmas and the weather here is gorgeous! It doesn't really feel like the holiday, but we are trying to get into the spirit nonetheless. Today, however, was the babies 6 month check up.

| Braden |
Braden weighed in at 16 lbs even and 27 inches tall. He's still a bit small by full-term standards, but quite big by pre-term standards. More importantly, though, he is developmentally right on track for a 6 month old. Unlike his brothers, though, he has ZERO interest in solid foods. Any time we try to feed him, he literally gags. Needless to say, we aren't trying that often. ;)

| Gavin |
Gavin was only slightly smaller at 15lbs and 26.77 inches tall. He is also developmentally right where he is supposed to be. Although, he is smaller, you'd never know it by the way he eats. He LOVES food. He's getting quite good at his pears and oatmeal and we'll be introducing sweet potatoes and pumpkin over the holidays.

| Jamie |
Jamie is not really "aware" of Christmas, but loves that there is a piece of chocolate in the calendar every night, a pretty tree in the living room and presents underneath it. He knows he isn't supposed to open them, yet, but he loves to carry them around.
Jamie did get an early Christmas present last weekend. We weren't able to wrap it or hide it, so he's gotten great use out of it already...

He is also a great fan of the work holiday parties here - they all take place poolside. Everyone commented on how big Jamie's smile was as soon as he saw the pool.
No way - 6 months already??? I feel like they were just born! Gavin looks so different - so big, and Braden with that big, open smile is just precious. I can only imagine the fun Jamie is having at the pool - it was impossible to get him out when he'd visit ours last summer. Hope you get your holiday shipment from us soon (before the actual holiday at least!) I sent it over a week ago.
