Triumph!

I am VERY happy to report that we have found the pediatrician of my dreams! A few months ago, I met another mother of twins (always a treat!) who is a nurse at a pediatrician's office. Her twins see a pediatrician at that practice and she told me that several of the doctors that work there are parents of twins, themselves. Based on her recommendation, I gave it a shot.

The doctor we saw has twins and joked about cornering the market on twin patients. The boys were his third set of twins that day! He took over an hour and a half to see the boys, which just completely blew me away. I so frequently felt rushed through appointments with our last doctor. When I thanked him for taking so much time with us, he said, "Trust me, as a parent of twins, I know that everything takes a little bit more time!" I really feel like the medical care the boys will be receiving will be specifically tailored to fit their unique needs. In addition, the parenting tips (regarding sleep, feeding, behavior, etc.) that I received was also specific to raising twins. This is something that never happened with our previous pediatrician.

So, at six months, the boys continue to grow and grow! Jaxon weighed in at 15 lbs 8 oz and Dexter was at 15 lbs 5 oz. This puts them both at about the 10th percentile for weight. As far as length goes, they're two little shorties and 24 1/2 " and 25" (this is the first time Jax has measured longer than Dex). That's about 5th percentile for length. As always, their noggins are on the big side! Jax is 95th percentile (18 1/4") and Dex is 75th percentile (17 3/4").

I just can't believe how quickly the past six months have flown by!
