Happy 1/2 Birthday!

Bryce and Kayla are 6 months old today! We made it halfway through the first year with twins. Hooray! We have one more day before a three day weekend. Kevin and I are talking about going to the Museum for Engineers' week. Hopefully we can find some time to do that.

Bryce:

• In size 2 diapers
• Wears mostly 3-6 month clothes, but some 0-3 month and newborn (the 3-6 month pants are really big. 0-3 month fits better around the waist but they're too short. We can't find a happy medium.)
• While on his tummy, he reached up and pushed the swing yesterday.
• He's rolling around all over the living room floor. He's grabbed the sheets on the couch and our pant legs and tugged on them.
• He grabbed some ads out of the recycle box under our side table and started ripping it up.
• Reached up to touch the light and the toys on the mobile above the swing yesterday.
• Loves the jumperoo and grabs the toys to chew on them. He moves the roller toy around on the jumperoo.
• Said "da-da" several times and everyone swears that he says "hi".
• Grabs rattles and keys with his hands and brings them to his mouth.
• Has a little bit of a tooth showing on his lower left gum!
• Sleeps through the night. Goes to bed around 9 or 9:30 and wakes up at 6:00.
• Loves sweet potatoes and rice cereal; hates carrots.
• Loves going on walks - sat in the stroller without the car seats on Feb. 13
• Loves baths - kicking and splashing the water!
• Recognizes Mommy, Daddy, Grandma Joni, and Grandpa Brian

Kayla:

• In size 2 diapers
• Wears mostly 3-6 month clothes, but some 0-3 month and a couple of newborn outfits. 
• Has rolled over from her tummy to her back. We think she can do more, but she doesn't care to.
• Plays with the toys in the jumperoo - she loves it!
• Smiles and laughs when she sees one of the cats or dogs.
• Yells and babbles - we haven't heard her try to form words, though.
• Grabs rattles and keys with his hands and brings them to her mouth.
• Drooling a lot and "chewing" on toys but we don't see any teeth coming in.
• Sleeps through the night. Goes to bed around 9 or 9:30 and wakes up at 6:00.
• Loves sweet potatoes and carrots but could care less about rice cereal.
• Loves going on walks - sat in the stroller without car seats on Feb. 13
• Doesn't scream when she gets baths anymore. She kicks her legs in the water now.
• Recognizes Mommy, Daddy, Grandma Joni, and Grandpa Brian - glared at Mommy (boy, if looks could kill...) yesterday when dropped off at daycare.

That concludes our day for now. I'll probably edit this later and write letters to Bryce and Kayla for their half birthday. (Kayla, my dear, you are squirming in my arms and yelling at me as I write this. I think you are tired. Bryce, you are asleep in Daddy's arms.)
