If you are still checking in on this defunct blog, please leave a comment as I'm interested in blogging again now that we have something resembling order in our household:)
Marshall and Roslind are growing like weeds. They are 6.5 months now and so much has changed.
Marshall:
*weighed 13 lbs, 12 oz at his 6 month checkup
*loves eating jar foods
*will play at the drop of a dime
*is trying very hard to crawl
* is teething, but none yet
*imitates well (beat boxing, monster sounds, yawning, etc.) I might add that he made up the monster sounds.
*has LOTS of energy
*is easy to put to sleep
*is extremely ticklish
*LOVES books and squeals when we take them out
*listens to the stories from beginning to end
*can sit up on his own, but keeps his arms extended outwards to balance- still needs a little assistance in this area
*laughs like he is being tickled EVERY time we take off his onesie
*cries EVERY time we put a onesie on
*LOVES, LOVES, LOVES bath time
*usually anything within five feet is soaked by the time he finishes:)
Roslind:
*weighed 14lbs, 3 oz at her 6 month checkup
*loves to be talked to
*loves books
*can sit up on her own and prefers that over any other position
*loves a bottle and gets excited when she sees one (whether she's hungry or not)
*likes jar food (no loving it, but she'll eat-when she feels like it)
*prefers veggies (loves sweet potatoes and squash)
*is not ticklish
*is easy to make laugh
*could get an advanced degree in fighting her sleep
*has TWO teeth on the bottom that cut through exactly one week apart (one today (7/20), one last Sunday(7/13))
*took getting those two teeth like an absolute champ- no fevers, diarrhea or excessive fussiness
*likes it when I call her a "seeeelllly (silly) goose"
*is trying very hard to crawl
*loves singing
*likes reading and will listen to stories through the end
All right- a couple of pics!
