Andrew and Ethan are almost 6 months old. Time is going by quickly. They are at a stage right now that is very fun yet still slow paced. Andrew loves to be held during his naps. This first picture shows how I was able to transfer him to the boppy to continue sleeping after Ethan woke up and wanted to eat. They want to help hold their bottle though they are more hindrance than help.
They love to grin, giggle and interact with adults and children. Since, they can't move around on their own, they go where I want them to. I know this will change soon so I'm enjoying the peace right now. Andrew is on the left.
Andrew still likes to use his feet a lot of the time and discovered yesterday that he can hold onto his feet with his hands. They like the toys that play music or light up when they touch them. Early efforts to control their surroundings.
I go walking almost every morning in Collegedale with a few other moms. Andrew is on the left again. Now that it has turned cold, I have to bundle up the boys with hats and gloves (socks on the hands) and then put a big blanket over them. They are toasty warm so they sleep during most of the walk. I'm thankful that I can move the infant car seats to the stroller and don't have to wake them up to strap them in the stroller. I hope they will fit in these carriers until their first birthday.
I'm adding a video of Andrew's babbles and bubbles. Enjoy.
Andrew and Ethan have been around for 6 months now. They are approximately 16 pounds and love to sit up with support and roll side to side though not completely over yet. They are becoming bored with their old toys so I have to work harder to entertain them. Andrew, pictured first, still loves his pacifier and can't sleep without it.
The highchair is a new experience for them. They have both spent a small amount of time in it watching me in the kitchen in preparation for their first food on Thanksgiving day. This is such an animated picture of Ethan.
Now that they weigh more, baths have moved from the shower to the tub. Ethan, in the brown towel, seems to really enjoy it and splashes with his feet. Andrew didn't like getting his face wet in the shower so is still a bit timid about baths in the tub. I hope he will quickly learn to feel comfortable in water. Thats all for now. My next post will have pictures of their first rice cereal.
