6 Months Old!

Today the boys are 6 months old!! I can't believe it's been that long already and yet it seems like they've always been with us. This weekend we started adding cereal at our 5 pm feeding. We finally got their high chairs out and set them up. They looks so cute in their little man chairs!

They have been getting better with the cereal each day. Alex is all about it, you can't feed him fast enough. But then he's tired of you being so slow and just wants his bottle. Logan actually eats the most (which is unusual for him), but doesn't necessarily like it. Nick definitely started out hating it and now only looks disgusted as you feed him... but he eats it. And it is getting better each day.

They are changing so much and learning so many new things every day. Their hair is growing thicker each day, they are learning more sounds and like to talk more. Which is great until they learn they can squeal at very high frequencies. Logan has been doing this each morning when he wakes up - lays in bed and squeals. They are all pretty good at going to bed at night. If we put them in their cribs, they usually go to sleep on their own... eventually. In the mornings, they wake up and talk to themselves in their cribs until we come and get them. We do still feed them around 4-5 am, but we're hoping this will be the last week for that - cross your fingers!

Tomorrow is our 6 month doctor appointment. I'll update the blog tomorrow with their new stats and any other developments. I also have some video of their first meal with cereal. I'll try to edit and post it too. For now, here's a quick look at each of the boys...

Alex: starting to crawl, likes to gurgle and smile, loves to roll from his back to his front - but not interested in rolling back onto his back, likes his cereal, holds his bottle, wiggled out of his bouncy seat, strong grip, loves to be lifted over-head and free-falling feeling, laughs at the giraffe, doesn't like to bend when you try to have him sit up - would rather stand, loves to splash during bath time (ends up with more water outside the tub than in)

Logan: finally rolling over, loves to squeal, hates to sleep, loves to watch TV, always wide eyed and looking around, not interested in eating, smallest of the group, likes to explore things with his mouth, gets frustrated when he can't get the ball in his mouth, squirmy, laughs when you change his diaper, very wide smile

Nick: Loves to giggle and smile - sometimes for no reason, "tall, dark and hansom", likes to sleep with his hand over his face, seems to go with the flow, only likes mom or dad when he's tired, stares at his hand, deeper voice and fuller laugh, lots of dark hair, not real excited about cereal, always in a different position in bed from the last time we check on him, can roll both directions - but doesn't like to be on his tummy and forgets he can roll back over.

Oh yeah, and they all love, love, love to chew on their hands!!!

Seems Nick was reaching for the PBR - no wonder he doesn't like his cereal!

Yer blog is sweet...we gotta have a conversation about how you got your Twitter details on there. Congratulations on 6 months! I'm going to go ahead and say that having 3 babies at 6 months is exactly the same as having 1 at a year and a half.
