We went to the Doc for the girls 6 month check up. Karis is 15.2 lbs/27" and Kelsie is 15.10 lbs./27". They are in the 90th percentile for height! Amazing! Dr. T says they are healthy girls! We are blessed! They aren't crawling yet. Just barely sitting up by themselves. They are wanting to be mobile and get so frustrated when they can't quite reach something or get somewhere. It won't be long now. I have had to pack away swings & bouncers and start baby proofing. They're in #3 diapers...getting SO big! I would say that this is the hardest stage for me so far because they are becoming more aware of their surroundings, developing their own personalities, likes & dislikes...and despite my efforts to keep them on the same schedule, sometimes that doesn't always happen. I anticipate it getting even more challenging when they become mobile. God grows Mommy's too, right along with babies. We're all learning & adjusting. It has been a fun adventure and I'm grateful...tired, but grateful! ;)

Food, Glorious Food!

We started the girls on solid food on September 6th and they have been eating like champs ever since. I have really been enjoying making baby food! It's so easy & much more cost effective to buy the fresh produce, steam cook it & freeze the food cubes!!

So far, aside from the rice & oat cereal, we have had apples, bananas, sweet potatoes, peas, avocado, pears, and yellow squash. Next on the list is peaches & chicken...not together. Naturally, they have a sweet tooth and seem to enjoy fruits over veggies. So sometimes I mix them to fool their taste buds...Shhhh! ;)

 

Halloween/GBC Country Fair

So, I am a little late posting this, but we had some fun over Halloween. We all dressed up (even Ali & Wrig), carved our pumpkin, and went to the Country Fair! And since a picture is worth a thousand words, that's all I'm gonna say. ;)

 Our Precious Punkins

 Daddy loves this load!

Carving an owl sitting on the moon. Wrigley's outfit says "My other costume is much scarier" and Ali's was a t-shirt that said "Hello, my name is DOG"

 Feet up simultaneously. It's like they're reading each other's minds ;)
