Picking Pumpkins-6 Months

How have we already made it to six months?
My baby boy twins are already half a year old?
The last two months have flown by since I've been back at work and Taylor's been in Kindergarten. We keep charging forward, day after day, dreaming of sleep again one day, but unfortunately that day has not come. It's been 6 months without consistent sleep and we're so ready for these boys to eat more solids (starting this week) and hopefully sleep through the night!?! We've had lots of changes since last month's post. Here's a recap of what the boys have been up to lately.

Ryan:
* Weighs 17 pounds, 11 ounces.
* Loves to sleep on his tummy now that he can roll over with ease (yes, even in the Boppy).
* New nickname the Screaming Pterodactyl -
his talking involves lots of loud screams, screeches, and squeals.
* Had his first cold this past month.
* He's pulling up his knees a little bit under him when he's on his tummy -
trying so hard to move!
* Gives sweet hugs to Jake when you ask him too.
* Finally has new darker hair growing in. Maybe black like Daddy?
* Finally sleeping in the nursery in his own crib-yay!
* Can hold his own bottle while he eats, which is helpful as you know.
* Likes to sit with his legs crossed at the ankles
* Learning to sit unassisted.
 
 
Jacob:
* Weighs 18 pounds, 4 ounces.
* Loves to airplane on his tummy (arms out wide, legs up and kicking).
* Had his first cold too! Now his talking involves this little
made-up cough every other sound...funny!
* Finally learning how to roll to his side from his tummy -
doesn't get nearly as frustrated as he use to.
* He seems to be the easier one this month...not as needy as Ryan. But last month he was the needy one. They just love to switch things up!
* Finally has new darker hair growing in but still has two little circles on the top of his head that have very light hair in them??
* Learning to sit up unassisted.
* Falls asleep during the day very easily (twice while playing on the play mat, but fights sleep at night so much!

Video is of Jacob looking at himself in the mirror-very expressive eyes!

My Daddy

 
My Daddy loves me...
He tells me so...
He tickles my sides...
And laughs when I giggle.
 
My Daddy loves me...
He tells me so...
He rocks me to sleep...
And lets me hold his finger.
 
My Daddy loves me...
He tells me so...
He plays with me on the floor...
And talks to me all the time.
 
My Daddy loves me...
He tells me so...
He makes funny faces...
And laughs when I smile.
 
My Daddy LOVES me!
