6 Months Already!

Woa! We are 6 months old these days! We can't believe that we are getting so big. So in the world of the Sharer twincesses, things are going great. We are eating solid foods like champs and we continue to get only mommy's milk. She was so excited today when she realized she met her original goal of 6 months of only breastmilk. She thinks her ta-tas can make it another 6 months. No problem!

We are happy little things and like to go places that our big sister goes. We like soccer games, practice, gymnastics, and all of her school events. We are so patient until we get in the car to go home and then all hell breaks loose. But we are doing better in the car. No long road trips in our future though!
So from Samantha's end of the world things are good. Samantha has become a bit of the quiet one lately. She is still going to physical therapy but has been dropped down to every other week. Samantha passed her noggin screener and did not need a fancy helmet. She is able to sit up with a bit of her arms to prop herself. Samantha can also scoot to about any place within a 5 foot radius of where she is laid down. She is also the champion sleeper these days and has figured out how to find her binky in her crib. Good girl! As far as her stats, here they are...13 lb 11 oz (10th %tile) and 25 3/4" (49th %tile). So she's still on the charts!
From Mallory's side of the world things are also looking great! Mallory is quite the chatty one and sometimes screams just to hear herself. She isn't upset but just noisy. Mallory has a super, duper noggin shaper. She has been wearing it for 3 days now and is doing great with it. Mom says that any baby that can sleep in their own poop and not care, could obviously care less about wearing something on their head! And she is right of course. Mallory is also sitting with just a little arm prop. She can roll with the best of them. Mallory has become a bit needy at night and wants to be plugged throughout the night. She doesn't know it yet but this weekend that is going to come to an end. Please keep mommy in your thoughts. And the chunk's stats are...17 lb 11 oz (80th %tile) and 27 1/4" (91st %tile). Yep she is EXACTLY 4 pounds heavier than Samantha! Crazy!

Pumpkin Carving

We got together tonight for our yearly dinner and pumpkin carving. The big girls had a great time and the little girls missed out on the action because it was bedtime. Here are some pictures!
Noreen broke out not only the dremel but a pattern for her pumpkin's face.
Sloane and "Mr. Happy Pumpkin"
The pumpkins from left to right: Noreen, Sloane, Samantha (done by daddy), Raegan, and Mallory

And we must always pose in front of our pumpkins!

The Million $$ Noggin Holder

Mallory's headgear is here. It's painted (by daddy) and it's ready to wear! We still plan to add her name in Rhinestone stickers. I just have to get to the store to get them!

Samantha also went for her consult but it was not recommended that she wear a helmet. Her flattening on the right side is very minimal. So we'll save another million dollars. Here is Mallory and her happy self!

Pumpkin Patch Fun!

We took the girls to the Pumpkin Express after the soccer game. We joined some other soccer buddies there and had a great time.
Raegan and Sydney getting ready for the train ride.
Bryan and Mallory. She was fascinated with all the things moving around and making noise.
Mommy and Samantha.
It was a hot day out.

Samantha liked the pumpkins.
Mallory wasn't too impressed with the hay.
Raegan had her face painted as a kitty.
Raegan and her soccer buddies (Natalie, Taylor, Kylee, Raegan).

Soccer

I finally remembered my camera! Here are some of Raegan and her friends at this weekend's soccer game. Raegan played a GREAT game!

Sleepy times

Not much going on here in the Sharer household. Raegan is continuing with soccer practice, gymnastics, and soccer games. So we often end up with 2 very tired babies. One of these days Raegan will have to return the favor and sit through all of their activities.

Here is Mallory passed out with what looks like squash on her cheeks. Mallory went for her helmet imaging on Monday. She will get her helmet on the 27th and Bryan will be painting it quickly so she can start wearing it. Isn't she the sweetest thing?!?!
Samantha gets worn out the most because she rarely sleeps in the car. She was so tired this day (after a soccer game) she passed out after eating her lunch. Mouth open just like her daddy! Oh, Samantha is also going for a consult with the noggin doctor. Bryan noticed her head last week. She is pretty flat on the side she is tilted to and she had a bulge on the other side. So, we take her the same day/time that Mallory gets her helmet. But there is a strong chance that they will both be wearing expensive headgear! We can't possibly justify fixing one head and not the other though. We'll update you later on this!
The girls have all been sporting their Halloween gear this week. It's been GREAT weather here. Highs in the mid 70s. LOVE IT! Raegan is going to be Dorothy for Halloween and the girls are going to be 'Flying Monkeys'. I can't wait!

We hope everyone has a great week!

More fun times at the Sharer house!

Daddy and Mallory getting ready to get dressed for bedtime.
Naked Samantha. She has no butt and hardly any fat on her body. Oh why can't I pass her some of mine?
Naked Mallory. Check out those rolls. She truly is her momma's girl!
All the Sharer girls. This was a fun night playing before bedtime. The babies are so alert these days and have fun interacting with Raegan too!
