6 Month check up...

As you can see in this picture Tristan isn't very happy with Mommy because she is playing with me and not him...
Our visit to the pediatricians office today went as planned, we each got three shots and boy did they hurt. Our Daddy was caught up in a meeting and wasn't able to make it so our Mommy had to go by herself, which is hard because she can't hold us both when we cry after our shots.
Today I (Titan) weighed in at 18lbs 9oz and am 27 inches tall. My head is 44 1/2 inches round and I am in the 70th percentile. I am sitting up on my own as you can see in my picture and am a pretty mellow baby from what my parents tell me.

Tristan on the other hand weighed in at 17lbs 8oz and is 26 3/4 inches tall. His head is 1/2 inch smaller than mine at 44 inches. He is in the 58th percentile for his size. But you have to remember these numbers are for babies who are truly 6 months old, we are really only 4 1/2 months old. We are BIG boys! Tristan can sit on his own but does better if he is supported by Mommy or a boppy. He loves to squawk, jump like a frog, and smile.
We both love to play peek-a-boo, read books(eat books) and watch baby Einstein. Our Daddy took us to Target last Saturday when Mommy was working and bought us 8 new Einstein DVDs. We have just started to experience separation and stranger anxiety, we now notice when our parents leave the room and today Tristan was afraid of our doctor.
At our visit today our Doctor said we have eczema and need steroid cream. Our Mommy has noticed me scratching at my tummy but wasn't sure if that was what I was really doing. Our Doctor told our Mommy that our skin itches and it burns when she puts lotion on it. He also said it is probably the reason why we are fussy and not sleeping through the night. He said we could have benadryl to help us sleep at night. Boy is our Mommy happy about that, she can't wait to try it out tonight!
He also said we get to start eating baby cereal again. Our Mommy stopped it because she thought Tristan might be allergic to it. We will try again and see what happens.
We are looking forward to seeing our Grandma and Grandpa Tafoya this weekend and our Grammy next week. We hope the weather is nice for them so they can take us outside to play and go on walks.
