Twins 6 months

The babies sixth month was a big one because not only did they hit a few milestones like sleeping more at night, becoming expert rollers, getting teeth, eating solid foods, sleeping in their own cribs in their own rooms, they also moved across the country!
They remain our happy, cute babies through it all!

The babies no longer accept pacifiers... we don't know why but they both refuse them.  Christian has found a new way to self soothe- sucking his thumb.  It is very cute.

There's nothing sweeter than sleeping babies.

Tummy time babies!  They love to roll onto their stomachs.

Christian loves to immediately roll onto his tummy as soon as we put him down.  Melody can but doesn't do it quite as much.

A comparison photo of Rachel when she was a baby wearing the same dress from Mexico.  It's cute to see the similarities.

Melody still likes to fold in half and chomp her toes.

Wrestle mania!  Many people ask if the twins like to interact with each other... this is what their interacting looks like.  When they were smaller they would link arms so cute but now they are too squirmy.

That's a lot of polka dots!

People always comment on how Christian is Tyler's mini me.

A baby girl as sweet as the cupcakes on her jammies.

Sylvia continues to love helping with the twins.  She makes funny faces and always makes them laugh.

Christian is always happy when he is being held.  Here he is Mommy's big helper as she works on blogs.

Sweet Mel mel needed a little extra attention one night when she had trouble sleeping.  What a sweet snuggle baby!

This is the last picture of the twins in our Alabama house! The pack and play was one of the last things we left in the house as we loaded up the moving truck.

We love Christian's smile!

We love Melody's big, inquisitive eyes.

Andrew and Sylvia are great older siblings!

Sleepy girl

Christian is strengthening his muscles and pushing up when he is on his tummy.

Mommy doesn't put headbands on Melody as often as she did for Sylvia when she was a baby but she sure does look cute whenever she does wear them!

As his shirt says, one handsome fella!

The babies have just taken off with eating solid foods! We started them on baby cereals every few days, that led to two meals daily which quickly turned into the babies joining us for all three meals.  They have tried a wide variety of foods already!  Avocado seems to be a favorite so far.

Sylvia actually is great at feeding the babies and helps sometimes.

We have one booster seat and one highchair and the set up works out great.

We hope they become best buddies.  This picture was staged.

Cute picture of Daddy holding the babies.

Working on tummy time!!  They will be crawling soon.

Brown haired kids

The transition to their own cribs was flawless- they love their beds and having their own space!

We'll have to work on sharing.  They always want to toy the other one has.

Ready for breakfast!

Towards the end of the month, Christian started planking!  What a strong boy!

Next he figured out how to get up on his knees.  He isn't quite crawling yet though.

Melody Elise, our precious girl.

Happy six months babies!

Christian James, what a sweetie!

Bonus picture of the big kids playing in the babies' room.  They are growing up SO tall!  They both got new jammies because they grew out of their old ones.

Another bonus picture taken by budding photographer Andrew directly leading up to our last picture of this post...

We love our little ones so much!
