Jack and Maddy are 5 1/2 months old now and their little personalities show more and more every day. At the recommendation of our pediatrician, we started giving them a little bit of rice cereal each day--the hope was this would help with Jack's reflux. As the story always goes...anything Jack does, Maddy does also..so we let her join in the fun as well. At first, Jack gobbled this down while Maddy spit it out with a disgusted look on her face. Now, they both open their mouths wide for a bite...then of course shove their hand in as well, suck on that for a bit, then smear all of the rice cereal over their face, their eyes, their hair. It is quite the sight--adorable!!
Jack has found his volume now, often tells us stories just like Maddy has been doing for several weeks now. He laughs out loud and has the biggest grin I've ever seen. His hair is growing and getting thicker, it is a blondish reddish color and he looks so sweet with his little wispy hairs. Maddy is finally getting some hair--bright red! She is such a happy girl, smiling all of the time and singing, talking or humming to us. They are both so interested in their toys, especially those that make noise or have flashing lights. They are both rolling over, sitting up with support and putting weight on their legs.
They are also teething! There is drool constantly coming out of their mouths and all objects go into the mouth as well. They have both been a little extra fussy because of this, but all in all they are mostly the silly, happy babies we love and adore! They are growing so quickly, I can barely believe they are almost six months old. I'm just treasuring the moments of playtime, listening to them talk in their cribs, waking up from naps with huge smiles on their faces and watching us as we move around the room. They have become so alert and are both so smart! They love watching each other, and smile at each other--it is so precious.
