Jacob and Julia are 6 months old today! We can';t believe our little peanuts are half a year old. They are growing up way to fast! Both Jacob and Jules have changed so much in the last two months. Here are some of the things they are up to at 6 months old.
* Both babies are now sleeping through the night :-) Julia has been an awesome sleeper from the begining but we had our challenges with Jacob. He is finally sleeping through the night for about 10 hours although now he has become a 5:30 am riser. Luckily most mornings he is able to go back to sleep after a very early morning feeding.
* We started solids with the twins about a month ago. We try to give them what we are having for dinner instead of store bought baby food. So far they have enjoyed most of the things we make for dinner. They have had peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, pasta, black beans, pinto beans, rice, lentils, strawberries, mango, banana, blueberries, avocado, and more! Julia loves everything except peas and Jacob seems to like everything.
* Jacob and Julia can both sit up unassited. One of their favorite things to do is to sit across from each other with a pile of toys in the middle. They are starting to smile and grab at eachother while they play.
* Jacob is our mover and is not too far away from crawling. He has been getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth for the past month. He has found a way to scoot his body from one end of a room to the other.
* Julia is our thinker and is always so alert. She loves to be around people and will watch everything that happens around her. She will laugh and giggle as she watches Lily play everyday.
* At just 13 pounds 4 ounces (Jacob) and 12 pounds 11 ounces (Julia), both babies are growing but are still quite small. We'll see how the addition of more solids effects their weight gain.
Here are a few pics of the twins at 6 months (with a few of Lily of course). We have had fantastic weather lately and have been trying to spend much of it outside.
