Best Friends

H is finally getting to the age were she and E can play together a bit. I can often find them laughing at each other as H thinks E is so funny, and E thinks it is funny that she can make H laugh. H is so tolerant of E and lets E give her tons of kisses and hugs. I hope they remain the best of friends as they grow up!

First Food

H had her first "real" food this week. Cereal with breast milk and bananas. She gobbled it all up, but if she got a bite that had too much banana, she would act like it was sour tasting and squeeze her eyes shut. She looked so grown up having her first bites of food. I can't believe she is almost already 6 months old!!!

Finally

Finally we have some good weather and have been able to go outside a bit. January and February are the worst months for me because they are so cold and dreary around here, and when you are stuck in the house with two kids it gets even worse. We are all so excited to be able to get out and play. There is a new park about 2 blocks from our house that has absolutely perfect toys for my little E. The photos posted are of my kids and our friends' kids at the park.

Update

Just posting an update as to what has been happening in our lives...which is not really much at the moment. We have all been pining to go outside. We know the nice weather is right around the corner, and cannot wait. We even have a wonderful new stroller to take for walks. The girls have been going through a grow spurt as they have both been eating and sleeping a ton (eating more than sleeping). Also, most of their pants are becoming too short. H had her 4 month check up a couple weeks ago and she already weighs in at 17 lbs...I am pretty sure it is all in her cheeks. She also is rolling over in both directions, which as every parent knows is a big accomplishement for a little one. E "peeped" in the potty for the first time last week which lead to a big celebration. She in really no where close to being trained, but enjoys sitting on the potty. After she saw her best friend T go on the potty, she had to do it herself. G has been enjoying his new job and has been able to spend a lot more time at home. I have been working about one shift a week, which is just enough to keep my feet wet. I hope all is well with everyone else!
