Oatmeal, Grabbing and Peek-a-Boo

Babies are eating oatmeal now. They seem to like it. At first, they were a little confused about where their rice cereal went but now they are used to it. They are eating two meals and a snack now. Oatmeal and fruit, then a fruit or veggie, then oatmeal and veggie. I'm doing my best to mix up the colors of the rainbow for their nutrition. Miss T really seems to love sweet peas and Luke loves bananas. They are grabbing everything in sight now. Especially Miss T. She grabs my cell phone, the spoon, the bowl...I really gotta watch her....I put her bowl where I think it's outta reach on her high chair and in 2 seconds she grabbed and flips it. There is no outta reach zone for her anymore. Luke is cute....he stares at his bowl, then me and open his mouth wide. They are wanting to play in the food. Not sure I'm as ready as they are. What a mess that will be. Do they make raincoats for these occasions? Nick looks forward to letting them feed themselves. He said "all we have to do then is clean them up." I'd rather feed them then get sweet potatoes out of their hair and eyes. lol It will be fun to watch though. The stages are going so fast. They are both doing much better at eating. Taylor still bites her lips when she wants to pitch a fit but overall it's been much easier. I was playing peek-a-boo with them last night. Nick tried to video but they never fail to stare at the camera...you'd think they'd get used to it. I'll have to put some clips up. I have so much video, it's filling up my computer. lol Anyhow, last night they were in their high chairs while we ate dinner and I'd duck below their trays and then pop up.......they were cracking up laughing. It was sooo cute. 

Why is it that the good shots are always the blurry ones....err

...they move too quick. 

I need an "action" sport setting. lol

Things Happening

Lots of things have been happening.....sleep is not one of those things. lol Since Taylor is in the nursery with Luke and since they have been sick it's been crazy at night. Nick's getting better from his cold and I'm trying but the lack of sleep is prolonging it. 

Cute things....Taylor is reaching for our faces now, she likes touching them. Luke is a rolling man now and is even sitting up on his own for short periods. Taylor, she just wants to stand. Forget sitting. She likes to yell at the dog......she screams in delight when she sees him. Luke is continuing to fight his naps....screaming and screaming. He loves making fart noises and playing with his hands. Since he's been sick he would cough and end it with making all sorts of noises. His sore throat made some new sounds and he was having a ball with that. Taylor has been a bird about eating. The little stinker. Sometimes she decides she will scream. If I sing to her I can usually get her to finish. A bad habit. I'll tell ya........do a deer a female deer....ray....a drop of golden sun.......has been my saving grace. Dunno why it works, but it does. I've also been tricking her by adding some applesauce or bananas in when feeding her....it keeps her going in case she gets the sweets. :) Babies go to the doc for their 6 month appt. tomorrow....we'll see how their colds are and what they weigh now. :)
