6 month pedi appt!

The BELL-y babies are doing very well! Yesterday we had our 6 month apt with the new pediatrician here in TX, her name is Dr. Fuentes and she seems very nice! Here is a recap of each girl..
Jacey Stella
weigh 14lbs 10oz (the 27%)
length 25 in (the 30%)
head circ 40.5 (the 8%)
developments
She is
-cooing and babbling
-expressing likes and dislikes
-transfers objects from one hand to the other
-sits unassisted
-rolling from back to tummy
-rolling from tummy to back

Julianna Lilly
weight 12lbs 5 oz (the 6%)
length 24.5 in (the 15%)
head circ 40.3 (the 5%)
developments
She is
-cooing and babbling
-expressing likes and dislikes
-transfers objects from one hand to the other
-rolling from back to tummy
-rolling from tummy to back
Julianna is still trying hard to sit unassisted but she just has not mastered it yet, when Dr. Fuentes "tested" her she said that her trunk control is good and that Julianna knows when she starts falling to one side she leans that way and puts her arm out and that is a good thing. We will just continue to practice! Julianna also got a prescription for prevacid, it is for acid reflux. Julianna has always had a hard time with her tummy, I was hoping the problem would resolve itself, but we decided it would be best to give her some relief, the medication should stop the large spit ups and ease some of her discomfort from the acid on her esophogus.

Both girls got 6 shots! Three in each leg! THey also each got 1/2 the flu shot and 1/2 the H1N1 shot. They will got back next month for the rest of the shot.
