Six Month Update

So the twins are almost six months old now.  I can't believe how fast they are growing up!  We go to the doc next week for more shots and a check up. 

Brian went to Japan for 2 weeks and was traveling in Taiwan when the magnitude 8.9 earthquake hit Japan.  Thankfully he made it home only 1 day later than scheduled.  All of our friends in Japan are also ok.  Congrats to Erica for getting married!! 

After Brian came home, we decided to try feeding rice cereal to the twins.  We mix a tablespoon of the cereal with 2 ounces of breastmilk.  Ian took to it right away.  He would open his mouth as soon as the spoon came close.  Chloe wasn't sure at first, but the next day she had really improved.  She is very intent on holding a spoon herself and making sure it stays in her mouth.  She is ready to feed herself apparently.  After we see the doc next week, we'll probably get advice about trying to introduce other solid foods.  Can you believe I'm still breastfeeding?

Ian has started "talking" to us.  Mostly "mahbahbahmah" sounds!  Chloe has figured out how to scream bloody murder, so that is her new obsession.  Both of them really enjoy looking at each other and smiling. 

More updates soon!
