6 Months

I can't believe our amazing little peanuts are already 6 months old today.



Ethan -
He is determined to scoot around and get his toys. Unfortunately, he hasn't gotten the arm/leg coordination down for crawling yet and tends to push with his back legs and scoot forward on his head. Sometimes, he just roll over when he would rather be going forward. When he does roll over he is happier than a clam playing with his feet. He loves to grab and touch everything. Our dog Missy is especially fascinating to him. He had a bit of a slow start to eating solids, but after a week of spitting out cereal he now opens his mouth wide when he sees you getting a scoop of food out of a bowl in front of him...unfortunately sometimes the spoon full is not for him. All the babies are sitting now for brief moments. Ethan is too excited looking at everything and wiggling, so he tends to fall over the most. His new thing is to tell endless stories and talk all day.



Leah -
She is still content on her belly playing with her toys. She tries to scoot forward a bit but still hasn't shown much interest in rolling. She is such a happy baby and loves to play so much that she doesn't want to take time out to drink a bottle. It's taking longer and longer to give her a bottle. She'd rather talk/laugh/blow raspberries than just eat. She loves to eat solids and sucks them right down. She is doing very well sitting and reaching for the toys she wants. Most of her time is spent rubbing her sore gums with her fingers and toys (and drooling). I'm sure we will see a tooth in no time.




Logan-
He is just a happy easy going baby. He loves to roll around and is determined to roll onto his belly but that stupid arm keeps getting in the way. When he sees his toys and gets what he wants he squeals with excitement. He loves to eat solids and can be patient but once he knows it's coming he gets all excited and starts squealing. Logan likes to talk/tell stories which are hilarious because he is always laughing. He has discovered recently that he can roll onto his side at night and it's pretty comfy for sleeping. When he's not happily eating and playing he's just sitting there making the cutest scrunched nose faces.




Some how I think they all planned to look in different directions.

35 Weeks

A couple weeks ago while in the hospital I was just hoping to make it to 34 weeks, and here we are at 35 weeks...only 8 more days to go. I had a doctor appointment on Friday and the babies still looked great, so it's up to me to take it easy for one more week and drink a whole bunch of water to keep the contractions away. My belly is really starting to feel heavy when I stand up and while sitting, as it rests on my legs. In all I'm still not all too uncomfortable. Yesterday was my 29th birthday. I was thinking about how people always want to reflect back and say they are still 29...I'm sure my hugeness isn't what they are imagining. I've been upstairs for the most part lately, avoiding the steps. So instead of taking my pictures in my usual spot I had to find someplace upstairs. I'm in front of the babies room door. For fun I took pictures from every angle. Hopefully I'll get one more set of pictures next week.

Yarrrr

It was a nice day and we couldn't help but take our little buccaneers to the park and of course by the water. Yes, today was talk like a pirate day...yarrr. We've been working on getting them to hold our hand while walking in public. If they don't hold our hand they get carried. Their response was if, if you are going to hold my hand I'm going to sit. Two of them sat half way across the bridge so we had the third sit and hoped to get a picture of all three. The following pictures are what we ended up with.

The Floor

Image
For some reason it is just so much fun to throw food on the floor... The babies have gotten really bad over the last few days about throwing food on the floor. They will scoop up huge hand fulls of food and just chuck it. The other day I came up with a solution that seemed to work, I gave them spoons. I helped them put food on the spoon and get it into their mouths. Ethan was even picking up food and placing it on his spoon and tried to get it into his mouth. I just hope the novelty of the spoon doesn't wear off too soon, Missy (our dog) is getting a little chunky. Ethan Logan Leah
