6-month update

[Oops, I wrote this a month ago and forgot to publish it!]

The twins are SIX WHOLE MONTHS OLD! I'm amazed.

And slightly distressed. 

I mean, where has the time gone? We barely brought them home from the hospital last week. On the other hand, they've been in our family for ages so are they really only 6 months old??? Time is so confusing.

A few things about them at 6 months:

• They both have teeth! The bottom two. We no longer let them gnaw on our fingers. Logan got his teeth first, Carter followed suit a couple weeks later.
• They roll back and forth easily and often. Logan also was first to figure out rolling back to front, which would infuriate him because he didn't WANT to be on his stomach and was offended that we would put him in that position. And he didn't know how to get back. So we would kindly roll him back to his back, and he would immediately roll to his stomach again. Carter started rolling to his front a few weeks after Logan, but seemed proud of his accomplishment and happy to be on his stomach (as long as it wasn't naptime). They have both now learned how to roll any direction they want. Logan loves doing planks but Carter just likes to play with his toes.
• They have the clear from the doctor to start them on solids! We are skipping purees and giving them chunks of food. They sit in their high chairs with us at the dinner table and look like they feel SO big and love being a part of the family. 
• They spit up noticeably less often and less each time they do. This is a huge relief to me. With two babies I felt like we were drowning in spit up and it was SO GROSS.
• They LAUGH all the time! It is so easy to make them laugh. They are super social and love to play with us. This causes problems with sleeping because they want to play with us ALL THE TIME. They get so offended when we have the nerve to put them down in their cribs and walk away instead of play play play play play! Silly, silly babies.
• They are noticing each other more these days. They catch sight of each other best from a few feet apart, rather than sitting really close together, and break out into a sudden grin and shriek. I really enjoy watching this...but am slightly less enthused about it at naptime. 😂

Here are a few pictures from this past month:

They started using these bumbos recently and this is
my new favourite place for them to play -
facing each other with hanging toys between them.

I started giving them these lovies recently and they are so cute with them. :)

We got them from my friend Corrie, who also had twins at the same time!

Hanging out on the hammock

Carter likes to hang out propped up on his elbows like this

This is a water mat that my Aunt Vicki gave us.
The babies aren't really sure what to do with it!
But Jed likes to lie on the floor with them. :)

Nothing cuter than babies in overalls!!!

Anything near their mouths goes in, even a brother's foot
