Six Months Old.

Today the babies reached their half birthday! I can't believe that they've been here for six whole months now!! It seems like they've been in our lives forever, but at the same time it feels like time has just flown by.

They are growing so fast and learning new things everyday. It is amazing to watch them grow!

They've both become more comfortable with sitting and can sit for a while on their own before tipping over. They both like to eat their toes too! They are stuffing everything they can into their little mouths, especially our fingers!

We've started feeding the girls solid food! They've eaten lots of rice cereal and are starting to eat applesauce. At first Aria didn't really like the rice cereal, but now they both love it. They never had a problem eating applesauce though! That was an immediate hit with them. They are still sleeping for about 10-11 hours straight every night. They have their off nights, though, but for the most part they sleep well.

We've discovered that our cutie Cadence is not a night person. She is calm and sweet during the day but after her afternoon nap she becomes very ornery and fussy. She loves trying to grab at the spoon when we're feeding her, and she'll probably soon be trying to feed herself! She is very open to new foods. She doesn't smile or cry nearly as much as Aria but often just quietly keeps to herself. She weighed 16 lbs 10 oz at her last appointment and was 25 1/2 in long!! 

While Cadence is a day person, our sweetie Aria is a night person. She is fussing and crying like crazy during the day but after her nap it's like she turns off a switch and is just calm and sweet. It's funny how they both are opposite like that. Her emotions have a much wider range than Cadence. She smiles and giggles so much but then all of a sudden she can scream and cry out of no where. She is harder to introduce new foods to, but she eventually likes them. At their appointment, Aria weighed 16 lbs 9 oz and was 25 in long. They are always pretty much neck and neck when they get measured!

We are so excited for this huge milestone for them! It has been the most challenging, exciting, fun, and fulfilling six months of my life! We love these girls so much and cannot wait to see what the next six months has in store :)
