two halves make a whole!

We made it! A whole half a year down... and since I decided that two halves make a whole, I decided to make a cake and celebrate. As much as I love cuddling a newborn, I love it when they get to be about six months old*. I was hoping that the first six months with twins would be the hardest but I think I have determined that life is just going to change what is hard about it. I am feeling more "normal" (as if I ever was to begin with) and that my life is a little bit more manageable! At least I felt like making a cake... that is something for sure :)

Like they really care :) but it was the thought that counts right!

Here is Amelia enjoying her sweet potatoes!

Here is Cooper gagging on his sweet potatoes!

And here are my adorable big babies. We went to the Doctor today and here are the stats:

Cooper

Height- 26 inches (32%)

Weight- 15 lbs. 6 oz (12%)

Head- 17.8 (85%)

Amelia

Height- 26 inches (58%)

Weight- 14 lbs. 11 oz. (22%)

Head- 17 inches (70%)

Of course when we stand the babies next to each other Cooper appears to have about 1/4 to a 1/2 an inch on her so I am not sure what was up with the tech. I guess next visit it will look like he had a growth spurt :)

*Disclaimer: Although I am happy about the milestone, I always get a little sentimental before my babies hit the half year mark. To me it is the difference between a little baby and a big baby. It was no different this time. The night before I held them extra tight and there may have been a tear or two shed... maybe. I love the new but miss the great things about the old too.
