6 Months!

And just like that, Grayson and Hallie are six months old.  Aaron and I had our first adult vacation sans babies.  It was a short, but nice trip to Costa Rica.  You could say we got our feet wet.


Here is what our little stinkers have been up to in their sixth month.

GRAYSON
17.8 pounds
Grabs and holds toys.
Puts everything in your mouth.
Smiles, flirts and acts bashful - so cute!
Laughs when he thinks we are funny.
Eating 8-10 ounces at a time!
Sits up in bumbo or jumper.
15 minutes of tummy time or more at a time with no problem.
Grayon has his first tooth! It popped up middle of March while we were in Costa Rica. It's so stinking cute I can hardly stand it.
Did great while mom and dad were in Costa Rica. Grammy and Nana split the time with them.


HALLIE
15 pounds
Grabs toys and puts them in her mouth
Loves to examine her hands.
Smiles big open mouth smiles, but not yet laughing.
Likes to be lifted in the air and ride on my legs.
Holds her bottle (with help)
Puts her paci in her mouth and takes it back out, over and over again!
Sits up in bumbo or jumper.
Can prop sit for a few minutes at a time without support.
Screams and squeals.
Still not a fan of tummy time and needs to continue work on this.
No teeth just yet.

Our six month appointment went great. Dr. Prater said several times, the ya re doing and growing wonderfully. Each tome we see them they climb the percentage growth chart getting closer and closer to the weight of other babies their same age. Grayson is 3 pounds bigger, but feels twice her size. He's our stout boy and she's our peteote girl. Dr. P also felt we are ready to start solids such as rice cereal and puréed fruits and veggies. I am not feeling quite ready so we will wait until 7 months. I've read so much about the negative of starting solid foods before a baby's gut is ready and went with my mommy instinct on this one. Fortunately, they don't NEED it until closer to one year so we will wait just a it longer.

Pictures to follow but HAD to get this post up... A month late. #twinlife
PURA VIDA!
