The Twinx had their 6 mo. checkup yesterday. They are progressing well and are even ahead of full term babies, based on their development benchmarks. They roll over from back to front and front to back, they grasp objects, move them from hand to hand, follow lights and voices, and "talk" with people. Neither can sit up from laying down, but Emma can stay up for a while, until something catches her attention, and she falls in its direction.
The data:
Emma is in the 75th percentile for height and weight, meaning she is taller and heavier than 3/4 of 6 mo. old babies who were born at full term. Her head is now at the 50th percentile.
Joseph is up to just above the 25th percentile in height and weight, so he's only bigger than 1/4 of 6 mo. old babies born at full term. However, JoeJoe's head is near the 80th percentile. Go, Go, Gadget Brain!
They got 3 more immunizations, and they were sore displeased. JoeJoe is the king of the silent cry, where he is so upset that no sound comes out until he can get another breath, which is often several seconds. Emma wastes no time and cries right away.
After we got home, we played in the exersaucer and the jumperoo, and they had a blast. I'll get pictures posted sometime later tonight (hopefully).

It's flown by so fast hasn't it! Someone from our ante-natal class is even planning their babies first birthday already!
