Little Weeds

SIX months OLD!!

Holy goodness! 

What the crazy?!

These are the best babies in the whole world. And yes, I realize I am a little biased. But seriously, who could ever get enough of these smiles?

Beckett

Everett

We had their six month check ups a couple of weeks ago. Man are they growing like CRAZY! Cutest little weeds I've ever seen!

Beckett was 15 lbs 13 oz, and Everett was 14 lbs 8 oz! At their four month check ups they were the same length. This time Beckett was almost two inches longer than Everett! He has definitely had a growth spurt!

The doctor was super impressed at how much weight they had gained. So impressed in fact he told us we could switch from the preemie formula we had been using to the regular kind!!!! OH HAPPY DAY!! What might seem simple to you guys was the best news ever for us, we could have kissed him. The preemie formula we were using there was no generic for, no value size...just $18 per can, the end. And with two hungry, growing-like-crazy baby boys, we went through an entire can in one day.
That's about $500 a month on formula folks!! 

So when the pediatrician told us we could switch to the good old regular formula, which comes in a generic, and in a value size for $20 per tub that will last us an entire week...You can see why I cried happy tears and wanted to kiss the man. $100 for an entire month, instead of not even one week sounds oh so much nicer to me. 

AND, these cute little stinkers are on the growth charts! Officially on the six month charts. At all of our previous appointments they have done the adjusted growth charts for the age the boys should have been. But this time they actually showed up on the big boy charts! Beckett was in the 25th percentile for weight and Everett the 8th! Wahoo! 

Knowing all of this growing was happening, I suppose I should not have been surprised last night when I put the boys in 9 month jammies - solely because I'm a slacker and have not done laundry in more than a week and they were out of 6 month jammies - and these growing-like-crazy boys fit into the darn things! What happened?! 3 month clothes lasted us at least 4 months. 6 month clothes haven't even lasted us 4 weeks?! 

Yikes. And they had so many cute 6 month outfits to wear...better get warm quick so they can get some use out of em before we can't even squeeze those chubby legs into them anymore. Good thing I took a picture of them in these Boise State onesies the first time they wore them, they might not fit in them by the time I finally get the laundry done!

Thanks Aunt Wendy. We love them! And the rest of the clothes you sent...we just hope they get a chance to wear some of them before they are too small! :)
