10 Months

This is all I had written about the boys at 10 months. If I can remember more, I'll add to it and hopefully get around to adding pictures!

The twins are 10 months old. That flew by SO FAST! They are growing up so wonderfully, and they're so much fun, despite all the work!

Today I noticed Kyle has a new tooth poking through next to his other tooth, and Cameron's second tooth is just about to poke through. This explains the awful sleeping habits/whining/crying/fits/etc. etc. etc.

Let's pray the rest of teething isn't as horrible.

6 Months, 7 months and 8 months

Here's another late post about the boys. I'll add pictures soon!

Uhm, blog fail.

The last few months have been crazy busy. With the twins becoming more active and mobile, I've been stuck sitting with them pretty much all the time and I've grossly neglected the ole bloggy!

I'll just do a quick update about each month I neglected!

6 months:
Cameron's Stats:

He weighs 15lb 13oz (17th%
He is 25" long (2nd%)
and his head is 40cm (8th%)

Kyle's Stats:

He weighs: 18lb 2oz (62nd%)
He is 26.5" long (42nd%)
and his head is 43 cm (61st%)

• Both boys can sit mostly alone, only falling here and there
• Both boys on hands and knees and rock back and forth.
• Cameron on hands and toes a lot.
• Babies try solids for the first time a few days after turning 6months old. They tried avocado first, and were kind of indifferent to it, but were fascinated with food! As the month progressed, they learned to love eating and some favorites are:
• Avocado
• Blueberries
• Strawberries
• Bananas
• Purely O's (organic cheerio's)
• Toast
• Pasta & Suace
• Chicken
• First time swimming on Memorial day with cousin Isaac & G&G Grigsby
