The babies are 6 months old today!
Connor
Age: 6 months
Wearing 9 month clothes...for now. The boy grows like a weed!
Favorite Toy:
His feet, binki, soccer ball that plays music, and his jumperoo.
Favorite Food:
Right now it's apples. That's the only fruit we've given them so far so I'm sure it will change as soon as he tries bananas. He also does pretty good with carrots. He pretty much eats anything we give him but definitely favors the orange and yellow colors over the greens.
Activities:
Playing with his feet, playing in the jumperoo, and playing with Daddy.
Sleep:
He's continuing to sleep through the night, going to bed at 8:00 and waking up at 6:30-7:00 to go to day care. He's getting a little better at naps but still won't take them in his crib.
Development:
He's rolling over ALL the time now. Last night he would roll over from his back to his front and then just keep on going back to his back and he was rolling all over the living room. He's almost sitting by himself. He grabs at his feet all the time and tries to put them in his mouth. He's eating pretty good from a spoon and we tried giving him a sippy cup last night. That will take some time. He can also put his paci back in his mouth if it falls out and is still in reach.
Hair:
More and more is coming in every day!
Personality:
My sweet momma's boy is turning into a daddy's boy! He LOVES playing with his daddy and his face lights up when he sees him. If David makes a toot noise with his mouth, Connor does it right after him. Connor knows this is their game so he does it all the time. It's not so fun when he does this when I'm trying to feed him!
He still loves to cuddle and is pretty happy most of the time. He loves to jabber and is still very curious about everything he sees. He has to touch everything and of course tries to put it in his mouth. He even reaches for Chloe with his mouth open like he's trying to eat her! He has gotten a hold of her toes a few times!
Chloe
Age: 6 months
Wearing 6 month clothes.
Favorite Toy:
Still her "Moo Moo", the exersaucer, this rolling caterpillar thing that lights up and plays music and her new first baby doll (yet to be named).
Favorite Food:
Apples and sweet potatoes. She does pretty good eating almost everything we give her but her least favorite has to be peas.
Activities:
She has also found her feet and she is jabbering like crazy!
Sleep:
She is such a good sleeper. I can't say this enough and I hope it never changes! It's like she has an internal clock and is very predictable about her naps and bedtime. I feel like she is going to be like me with schedules and routines. She HAS to be in bed by 8:00 pm or she is screaming. She falls asleep on her back but ends up on her belly every night with her head buried in the bumper or in her Moo Moo. She usually wakes up before Connor does and plays with her toys in her crib and sometimes even falls back asleep.
Development:
She rolls over both ways with no problem. She can sit up on her own for just a few seconds before she falls over to the side. She eats with a spoon really good and even tries to grab the spoon and feed herself. It's like she has to "help" us feed her. She had nothing to do with the sippy cup when we offered it to her last night.
Hair:
She's growing a little bit more fuzz and the color isn't as red as it used to be.
Personality:
Her personality is coming out more and more. She's becoming more of a happy baby the majority of the time now. I think her tummy issues that always made her feel bad are finally getting better. She still has a temper when she's tired though.
She has found her voice and she loves to hear it.
She loves her GiGi, I think even more than she loves us! We never hear her giggle until GiGi comes around and she immediately starts laughing. We try so hard to get her to laugh at us and she just won't do it!
She loves being outside and being in water. She loves seeing lots of people and turns into a little show off in big crowds.
Happy 1/2 Birthday to my sweet babies!
