6 months old

Carter & Chloe turned 6 months old yesterday. They are getting so big. I will be taking them for there 6 month well-baby visit tomorrow so I will post all their latest stats after the appointment. Jerame left this morning for San Diego so it is just the 3 of us again. It's hard to believe these babies are 1/2 a year old already. They have been such an absolute joy and we are just so blessed to be their parents. The babies are doing great and are changing everyday! They are turning into little people and are defiantly not seeming so much like babies anymore. We are still struggling a with the sleep stuff but I know we will get it. I know that someday I WILL sleep again. Just don't know how soon it will be :-). Both babies did great last night though. They are really doing awesome going to bed now at 7:30pm. Which is great because it gives Jer & I some time together. It's just the waking up during the night that is still throwing us off. It's hard because more often than not, once we get one back to sleep the other one will wake up. Sometimes I think they are plotting against us. Ha! They are still eating during the night but I think we will ask the Dr. how to start weaning of that. It's all such a learning process! Sometimes I don't know who is supposed to be learning more us or them! I wish there was a manual that came with babies. I know I said this in my previous post but this is by far my favorite age so far. They are visibly learning new things everyday and are just so interactive. It has been so much fun. It's hard to believe in just 6 short months they will be turning one. It feels like a lifetime ago that I was pregnant, on bedrest & miserable! It's weird but it's actually hard to remember what it feels like to have that huge pregnant belly!
Both babies are turning into such little characters. Chloe is the serious one and just likes to observe everything that is going on around her. She is very selective with her smiles but once you get her going she is very smiley. Her laugh melts my heart it really is the sweetest thing I have ever heard in my life. Carter is just a little charmer and smiles at everything & everyone. He has been showing a little bit of stranger-danger lately though. I'm hoping it's just a phase. He is super ticklish too...that was really fun to figure out. The bottoms of his feet are the best because you are guaranteed a laugh every time. Both babies are really close to sitting up on their own I think by the end of the week they will be doing it no problem. They get really proud of themselves when they are doing it. I am sure it's interesting to see the world from a different angle! I don't think we have much more time until Mr. Carter starts crawling. I could be wrong but he already seems to be getting his legs up underneath him & scooting places. It's going to be craziness once they start crawling and then walking is going to just be nuts! My house is going to have to be one big baby gate. We are also pretty sure both babies are teething. They don't seem like they are in too much pain yet, they just chew on everything. Giving them solid foods has been so much fun so far. They have had sweet potato's & applesauce and have seemed to like both. I think tonight we will move onto peas! Jerame & I went out to dinner last night it was so nice to have a nice evening together. It was wonderful to eat dinner slowly with no interruption's! Here are some fun ones from last week....



My Dad's twin brother Mike was visiting Seattle from
Alaska. He got to meet the babies for the 1st time on
Friday!



Sitting up on the couch like a big boy




Pretty in pink of course

I love this picture

I took the babies out shopping & by the time

we got home they were both freaking out because

they were hungry so as soon as I got home I stuck

bottles in their mouths. Whatever works right?!! :-)

I thought they looked cute like this though.

They are really getting into playing together

I heart them!!!

Kisses

Daddy is home YEAH!
