A new update? Could it be?

Well, they’re not six months old anymore! We’re at 7 ½ months now! A quick update for those I haven’t been talking to directly: They still seem to be gaining weight well, so we’re happy about that. They still really get excited about solid food eating and have had all sorts of fruits and veggies at this point (from apple to zucchini!) as well as rice cereal and oatmeal. They really don’t seem to have a favorite, as long as we put whatever it is in their mouth quickly. Rebekah’s pet peeve is watching Kimberly get a spoonful of food without one also going into her mouth which makes for a fun time trying to feed them one-on-two. They seem to manage just fine, though. Kimberly liked razzing whenever Marty would put a spoonful of food in her mouth, but she’s learned it’s best not to mess with Daddy and has slowed down on that one. Breast feeding is going well, they are pros at this point and much more efficient at it than they used to be.

They love to sit unsupported on the family room floor and suck on anything they can get their hands on. Luckily we have lots of toys just for that purpose! Kimberly is really close to crawling and I’m sure once she gets it down Rebekah won’t have a problem catching up. Kimberly gets on her hands and toes like she’s going to do pushups, so her core strength is definitely there. Kimberly also is working on getting better at going on her hands and knees without doing a face plant or going backwards.

They’ve both slept over 12 hours at night; they just haven’t done it on the same night yet. Hopefully soon! It’s tough to balance their need for sleep with Kelsi’s commitments outside the house in the afternoons, but we’re getting there. Having people help with taking Kelsi to and from her activities sure has helped.

Work is going well for me. I’ve been back two months now and still just work part-time in the mornings while Daddy gets to stay home with his girls.

I’ll attach a few pictures from Aunt Vikki’s visit… more to come, but I make no promises as to when! Hee hee hee. The indoor photos, Bekah is in the green and Kimberly in pink. The outdoor ones it's Kimberly in the green and Rebekah in the pink.
