So much changing

It hasn't been that long since I updated but so much is changing, I thought I would journal it. It seems like the babies are learning to do more and are developing more every day.



Three's a crowd in this ice bucket! I think this will be my 7 month picture prop.

My big girl standing so strong! (Whitney)

Tyler learned how to roll over from back to front. Whitney is learning to spit like Hannah! Yay! Hannah and Whitney are now squealing an octave or two higher and Lacy is less than thrilled! Ha! Tyler is sitting up better - he is getting so close to being able to sit independently. They like to reach for Lacy and are becoming much more aware of her and each other. Tyler often laughs at his sisters. They are reaching more and more at anything within reach (bottles, books, our glasses, plates etc.)



Hannah and Lacy are bonding...awww...


Solids are going well. The babies have now had green beans, rice cereal, oatmeal cereal. I've been doing my research and reading up on making their baby food! This video was taken the first time they tried green beans a few weeks ago. Their facial expressions are priceless!


Yummy rice cereal

They have started sleeping less at night and napping less during the day. Now they wake up around 5:30 or 6 am. Luckily, they can entertain themselves in their cribs for a while and aren't interested in eating first thing after waking up. They have practically dropped their last nap of the day. Sometimes they need a 30 minute catnap before the last feeding of the day, but sometimes not. Needless to say my "down time" has decreased even more.
Until next time...

Hannah - 6 months

Two new posts below...

Hannah is developing such a funny personality. She is so squirmy and wiggly and happy. She can now roll both directions. It won't be long and she will be rolling and crawling everywhere. Hannah weighs 12 lbs. 10.2 oz. and is 25 1/4 inches long.


And if you are wondering what happened with Hannah's six month pictures and why she is in overalls in the group pics but not in the individuals, it is because somehow I lost her pictures when I copied them to the disk. I deleted them off the camera before I realized it. I was one tired Mama after all the pictures and blogging updates, I didn't feel like changing her clothes again.

That looks uncomfortable but Hannah doesn't like to sit back in her carseat, so she falls asleep like this.

Hannah's latest sleeping position. So funny!
Yes, she is just as silly as she seems. She loves to hang upside down over the boppy.
Lots of sleeping shots... Here she is sleeping in Daddy's lap in the middle of a feeding.


Hannah's turban! Ha!




Loves to sit up!

Whitney - 6 Months

Whitney is doing very well. She is still the smallest weighing a full 3 pounds less than Tyler at 12 lbs. 5.6 oz. and is 25 1/2 inches long. Whitney loves to talk and when she does, she sometimes sounds like Kermit the frog. It is so cute.

Whitney said, "Mom...why did you dress me in Tyler's overalls?"
Whitney, we need to work on your posture.

Look who else is sitting...barely!


This is what she looked like when she was born. I LOVE this picture! It was so funny...to me...not to her!
Daddy is nodding off trying to get our lazy little eater to eat.
Rosy red cheeks.
Sweet Whitney cuddling with Mommy.
Whitney looks tired and/or bored in the exersaucer.






Tyler - 6 months

Tyler is growing so much and getting so big. He is 26 1/4 inches long and weighs 15 lbs. 5.2 oz. He has learned how to whine and squeal, which is cute at times...other times not so cute. We started the babies on solids recently - Tyler is doing the best with it meaning he spits out the least.

Tyler is the typical boy...tired of taking pictures already and I just started.

Tyler has learned how to lock his knees this past month, so now he likes to stand a lot.

Tyler had so much fun playing in this twisted position. Doesn't look comfortable to me.

Happy Birthday to me!

Today is my birthday, which you could probably figure out by my new Happy Birthday background. I know, I'm a dork!
