Cambell and Lynlee - 6 months old

Lynlee - 6 months old



Nicknames: Lynnie, Lynnie Lu, Lynnie Bug, Lynners
Weight & Length: 16 lbs 8 oz (56%) and 27 1/2 inches (92%).  This is incredibly impressive if you consider the fact that Maya weighed 9 lbs 3 oz at birth and only weighed 16 lbs at this same appointment!
Hair: We did a treatment for cradle cap on her very bald head and that seemed to stimulate some hair growth.  She now has dark brown fuzz all over her head :)
Favorite food: Her bottles.  She dislikes breastfeeding, although I still make her do it occassionally (instead of just putting the pumped milk in her bottle).  We tried starting her on solid foods a little before 6 months old and she didn't like it at all.  Everything that went in, came back out.  I gave her a few breaks and now finally at 6 1/2 months she seems to "get" the eating thing a little more.  She's not a huge fan of the cereals, so I have been sticking with vegetables.  She's had green beans, peas and sweet potatoes so far.



Favorite toys: her stuffed monkey's tail (she sucks on it until it's sopping wet), playmat (specifically the penguin toy), the fish toy on her exersaucer
Favorite stuffed animal: stuffed monkey - the girls call her Sweetly
Bedtime: 6:30 - 7:00
Wake-up time: Between 6:00 and 7:00.  She still gets up once every night to eat, but always goes right back to sleep.  We also had a rough patch with her recently when she had a runny nose and couldn't breathe well while she slept.  She is a very light sleeper.
Naps: Finally!  We have a nap schedule!  1-2 hour nap around 8:30 - 9:00 and a 1-2 hour nap around 1:00 ish.  Every once in awhile, depending how long her 2nd nap is, she will still take a 3rd nap in the early evening for 30 minutes or so.
Favorite person: Mommy, Daddy and Maryn
Latest Accomplishment: Sitting up!  Eating solid foods in the high chair.  Rolling in both directions.


Likes: when Maryn makes her giggle, watching her sisters, sticking anything and everything in her mouth, sleeping with a swaddle (at first with just one arm swaddled and now we're down to just the body swaddled), having her back tickled
Dislikes: her car seat cover, having a dirty diaper
What gets said about Lynlee most often: how big and beautiful her eyes are, how alert she is and how much she looks like Makenna and her sisters
Interesting Tidbit: The twins still wake each other up when they sleep so Lynlee sleeps in our room in a pack n play.  She has a very small red birthmark on the top of her foot.




Cambell - 6 months old



Nicknames: Cammers, Tank, Tiger, Cammer Jammer
Weight & Length: 19 lbs 7 oz (82%) abd 28 1/4 inches (96%).  He's a solid kid who LOVES to eat :) 
Hair: He has light blonde hair and baby blue eyes... bluest eyes of any of my kids so far.  His hair is long enough that when it's wet we can spike it.. so cute :)
Favorite food: Anything and everything.  He LOVES to eat.... and it shows!  He likes to nurse, loves his bottle, enjoys cereal, and all of his veggies and fruits.  He seriously eats until his stomach is so full that he throws some of it up.  We're trying to curtail that but it's hard when he acts like he's starving all the time!
Favorite toys: balls (specifically the neon orange one), anything with wheels on it.  You can set him in a room full of toys and he will purposely crawl over to the ball or car/truck.  Amazing how boys are just naturally drawn to that stuff.
Favorite stuffed animal: Probably Maryn's puppy!  Although he was quite fond of a pink monkey for awhile there!



Bedtime: 6:30 - 7:00
Wake-up time: Between 6:00 and 7:00.  Just in the last few weeks he has started sleeping through the night!  He was soaking through his diaper every night and that was waking him up.  I think we finally solved that problem (fingers crossed!) so now he's been sleeping all the way through.  He is a very deep sleeper.
Naps: Finally! We have a nap schedule! 1-2 hour nap around 8:30 - 9:00 and a 1-2 hour nap around 1:00 ish. Every once in awhile, depending how long his 2nd nap is, he will still take a 3rd nap in the early evening for 30 minutes or so.



Favorite person: Daddy, Mommy and Mykaela
Latest Accomplishment: Eating solid foods in the high chair.  Scooting and army crawling every where (I'm amazed at the speed in which he can army crawl).  Stand up holding on to an object.



Likes: sticking anything and everything in his mouth, sucking on the string of the hooded sweatshirt of whoever is holding him, exploring the house, "wrestling" with Daddy, his pacifier, being rocked to sleep
Dislikes: waking up wet at night, getting changed in the middle of the night, being hungry, having his nose wiped
What gets said about Cambell most often: what a big guy he is, how smiley he is (reminds me of Maya... he smiles so easily), and that he looks like Josh
Interesting Tidbit:  He is starting to show signs of eczema on his little bum :(  I'm really sad for him... I think he has the softest skin of any baby I've ever held.  It makes it hard to stop kissing his cheeks :)

 

 Love these two!

 

 I think this picture pretty much sums up their relationship :)
