Big Changes Come Fast!

Over the past several weeks, the kids have been growing up fast. We had gotten used to hitting the fastballs they were throwing at us, but recently they have been throwing lots of changeups and curveballs (and even the occasional screwball!). And we are expecting lots more changes as they continue to grow up very fast!

We started them on solids in mid-February, and so far they have had the opportunity to try rice cereal, avocado, sweet potato, carrots, peas, and green beans. Next on the menu is Butternut Squash...hmmm...butternut squash. After that, we will have hopefully gotten them used to eating vegetables and will start them on fruits. One thing we have noticed is that solid food poops are much smellier than breast milk poops. Fun times.

Some of the curveballs they have thrown in the past several weeks include:
- Cameron deciding he no longer wanted to go to sleep quietly
- Cameron deciding waking up at midnight was a fun thing to do
- Isabel having fun blowing raspberries while eating, spraying food all over the place
- Both of them discovering how to roll over...a lot. Mobility is just around the corner.
- Cameron discovering his toes and sticking them in his mouth every chance he gets
- Isabel getting her first teeth. The bottom two teeth are now barely visible.
- Cameron learning that kicking his feet in the tub makes a nice splash

Luckily we have been able to keep our eye on the ball and hit most of these curveballs. Sorry for the baseball analogy. We are restless for Spring to finally arrive in Boston, and baseball signals spring...

Below are some miscellaneous photos of the twins.

Isabel sporting her snowman outfit, also ready for a walk.

Cameron flashing his winning smile :-)

Isabel smiling widely, probably laughing at one of her daddy's jokes.

Isabel discovering the joy of playing on her stomach. She has become an expert at rolling over.

Cameron learning the meaning of the phrase "Open mouth, insert foot."

Cameron and Meghan both saying "cheese!"

Isabel showing off her bright blue eyes and her flirtatious smile.

Another big smile from Isabel.

Cameron enjoying some tummy time on the floor mat. Isabel is intently focusing on getting a toy in her mouth.

Cameron and Isabel playing in their Bumbo seats...a toy we would recommend for any new parent!

Isabel enjoying a gourmet meal of sweet potatoes. Yummy! She usually gets about 1/4 of her food on her face and bib.
