6 month checkup

The twins had their 6 month checkup on 2/28

Gavyn is 24 3/4 in (10 percentile), 12 lb 7 oz (3% percentile) and his head circumference is 42 3/4 cm (25% percentile).  He does have food allergies. He breaks out after having rice cereal and oatmeal. It disappears after an hour. Our pediatrician wants him not to eat solid food for two weeks. His eczema is being kept in check by daily applications of Cerave. We've switched him to regular milk based formula, but we may have to switch him to a more mild formula.

Elyse is 25 1/2 in (45% percentile), 14 lb 2.5 oz (20% percentile) and her head circumference is 43 1/2 cm (40% percentile). She is healthy. She drinks regular milk based formula. She has developed a skin rash on her chest due to her excessive drooling. When we told our doc about his drooling, he barely acknowledged us. When Peta picked her off the examination table, everyone saw the pool of drool that she left. Our doc stated that she needs a few ounces of water a day to replace the fluids depleted by her drooling.

They are both beginning to teeth, nothing drastic.
