Yesterday your cousin Einar turned 6 years old, you turned 9 months old. We aren't really sure where the time is going, but we sure are enjoying it. You have both changed and developed so much in the last month, it is really amazing to watch.
Solid foods are a real treat to serve you. You are both great eaters and are having 3 large solid meals a day, and you eat so well! Amazingly you are still eating the same amount of milk, so it seems like we are always feeding you, but as quickly as everything else is changing, I'm sure that will change soon too. You are now working on finger foods in addition to the purees we feed you. Lars you LOVE
Nice color coordination with shirts and bibs guys!
You are finally on 2 naps a day at pretty predictable times. I'm SO glad about this. I did have to put you in separate rooms for naps, but you still sleep in the same room at night. Since you're not napping as frequently and the naps are at predictable times, for the first time since you came home I feel like I have a chance of getting out of the house with you both when I'm on my own without worrying that I will be dealing with 2 over tired, cranky babies. Just last week, we got out for a couple of walks on the beautiful days we had. It is sure helping your Mama's state of mind. Next week I think we will try baby story time at the Ballard library, it happens every Tuesday and I think that will be lots of fun!
You are both moving around A LOT on your own. Neither of you are crawling in an organized way quite yet, but you see something you want and usually find a way to get there through a combination of rolling, scootching and reaching. As one of our twin moms said, it seems as though you may have cilia on your bottoms since you are never where we left you when we step out of the room!
This is just the beginning of wrestling isn't it?
Both of you can sit up without any support! Though Lars, you've decided that sitting up playing is too boring and you want to move around, so I will sit you up and give you a toy and you'll play for about 2 minutes and then you are rolling on the floor. Odin you are more content to sit and play with a toy, but I foresee that changing pretty soon.
It is so fun to sit up isn't it?
The first real cold struck this month and it was hard to see you both feeling crummy. Though we had a couple of nights of pretty interrupted sleep, fortunately it didn't last too long. You both had terrible coughs that made your Mama and Papa very sad to hear, but fortunately you recovered quickly.
Teeth! You both have them now. I still haven't been able to get good pictures of them since you both seem to want to keep them a secret, but soon enough we'll get to show everyone your pearly whites.
This has been such a fun month of firsts. You are the happiest, most smiley babies a Mama and Papa could ever want. It it truly an honor to be the recipients of such amazing smiles. Thank you for sharing your love with us.
With all our love,
Mama and Papa
