They are growing like little weeds! We don't go to the doctor til Monday so I'm not sure of weights/lengths yet but my little preemies have definitely caught up to full-term babies, they are about average for 6 month olds. We're still wearing some 3-6 month clothes and moving into some of our 6-9 month stuff as well.
They are working on sitting up, getting closer to being able to do it on their own but right now they still need support. They love to sit in their Bumbo seats on the table so they can be with the rest of us while we eat dinner.
It seems that they won't be using pacifiers. It's weird to me to have babies that don't like pacis...all my other kids have been totally attached to them. But neither Rylan or Sadie seem to like them at all. They also don't suck on their hands, though. They chew on their hands during the day but don't suck their thumbs/fingers to fall asleep. I'm kinda thrilled that the taking-away-of-the-paci will be one less hurdle for me to jump with twins!
They are both such happy girls! They love each other and the rest of us. Smiles always come easily whenever they see their brothers or sister and Mommy or Daddy. And watching them play together and laugh/talk to each other is still my favorite thing.

Rylan at 6 months old:
She has the sweetest little voice, I love to hear her laugh and babble. It's not nearly as cute at 5:30 am when she wakes up wanting to play and wakes me up with her happy screeches (but I do enjoy those happy screeches when it's daylight!). Thankfully her sister sleeps through it!
Rylan is not at all interested in trying to crawl or anything. She lays on the blanket and will play briefly with toys within reach but is more of a people watcher. She grins every time Sadie looks at her and will just stare at her other siblings when they're down on the floor with her. She also enjoys watching Caedon's TV shows with him.
She has got a very calm personality and I'm loving every minute of watching it develop!

She has got this amazingly huge smile that takes up half her face. Rylan's smiles come more easily and frequently but when Sadie smiles it just lights everything up!
Sadie wants to GO GO GO. She has absolutely no interest in just laying in the floor playing calmly. She is getting up on her knees, rocking and pushing herself forward. She just in the last day figured out how to roll from her back to her tummy. Mostly anyway. She still needs a little help remembering that if she just gets to her side she can finish the roll!
She seems like she's going to be our little spit-fire baby, she's easily excitable and has developed a bit of a temper! It's funny because she was more calm as a newborn and Rylan was more needy and they have definitely switched that up on us at this point.

Things are going great for us! We have all adjusted pretty well to being a family of 7 and we are just loving having these girls with us. Kyler, Melissa and Caedon are great helpers to us and love to play with and talk to their sisters. Kyler is probably the most helpful and will often jump in and take care of things for us without us asking him to. He loves to make the girls laugh and take pictures and videos of them. Caedon still gets a little jealous sometimes and will bite or hit one of the babies. It makes me sad but I know it's normal. I just make sure to include him in everything, as much as possible, and give him special attention on his own as well.
I get easily overwhelmed, some days, by all that needs to be done. I still don't really like to take all 5 of them out with me by myself but it really is never as bad as I think it will be. They are good kiddos and I'm so blessed to have them! I'm also blessed to have a husband who is a great daddy and helps out around the house so often. I'm just thankful for my sweet family!
