6.5 Months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


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!
