Six Months Later

Woo...a lot to catch up on.  Been falling behind.  Since the New Year began we have been busy.  The boys have started baby food...F.U.N.  They are good little eaters but I must say it is quite a task trying to feed solids to two at one time.  We're still waiting on our 2nd high chair to get here, and to be honest they haven't really been quite ready for their high chairs anyway until just the last couple of days.  So we're feeding them in their bouncer seats...can we say MESSY??  They are doing good w/ the homemade baby food, we'll just see if / how long I'll be able to keep up with them.  It is crazy busy around here during the day...I feel like I'm doing good getting our dinner on the table, much less getting their baby food made.

Kate is back at school.  She had a really tough time her first day back after the holidays as I was dropping her off :(  She's been doing a little better the past 2 weeks with it.  We still haven't tackled potty training...praying that comes soon because Lord help me, I am getting so sick of diapers.  But Kate is doing really good.  She has turned out to be a great little helper with her brothers.  They love to watch her and find her very entertaining, much to my delight.  Who would have thought I would have such a "little helper" in my sweet 2-yr old? :)  

Sweet Kate

Still loves riding in her umbrella stroller...

...and pushing her baby dolls in her umbrella stroller.

John 

We recently discovered the boys love these "stand up" toys.  John is in the Exersaucer in the front (this actually is on loan from Kelly).  When we realized how well they like these I ran out and bought another one...the one that Matthew is in toward the back.  They will hang out in these on their own for as long as 15-20 minutes sometimes...sounds crazy, but it was unheard of before this for them to do anything other than be held for that period of time without fussing.

Grammy bought us this new stroller.  

John really enjoys riding in the stroller.  Matthew, not so much.  It would be too easy if they both loved it, wouldn't it? :)

I took these shots on their 6-month birthday.  Sometimes you just get lucky and the littles ones and the camera cooperate ;)

Matthew, 6 mos

Really Mom, more pictures??

Roly-polies; Matthew left, John right

Poor little Matthew and his dark circles!  I promise my baby sleeps but for some reason he always looks super tired.  While I was trying to get these shots on the floor, John kept rolling from his tummy to his back.  Every time I tried to re-position him he just rolled right onto his back.  So, I put him on the other side of Matthew and let Matthew be the barricade for me.

Now John right, Matthew left
