I can't believe it...we have two 6 month olds!

It's been half a year already.  Crazy!  It has flown by.  The first three months were SUCH a blur.  I remember bits and pieces, but I think Kevin and I were both running on autopilot the whole time.  They keep getting more fun as they get older.  I love the fact that they are able to interact more, laugh, smile, blow raspberries, sit up, and even recognize each other!  On the flip side, they also have been starting to want what the other one has (toys, pacis, etc).  Especially Kylie.  Yep, it's starting already!!

Here are the updates on my two favorite little ladies!

Kendall

• Stats:  18lbs, 7oz (91 %tile),  28 inches long (99 %tile)
• LOVES Mickey Mouse!  Much to Kevin's delight, she lights up when she sees Mickey Mouse on TV.  We turn on the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse every now and then, and she gets a kick out of it when Mickey says "Meeska, mouseka, Mickey Mouse!"
• Sitting up VERY well without assistance.
• Still a terrible napper!
• Has learned how to put herself to sleep (YAY!), and can put in her own paci in the middle of the night.  It's so adorable!
• Sleeps 10-12 hour nights.
• Gets VERY fussy when tired.
• Is (surprisingly) the better eater of the two.  Really seems to dig solid food!
• Has two teeth, and I think the top ones will be making an appearance soon!

Kylie

 

• Stats:  18lbs, 15oz (94 %tile).  28 inches long (99 %tile)
• LOVES the pets!  Especially Bono.  She gets so excited when Bono comes around.  She loves to pet him, and get kisses from him!
• Sitting up pretty well without assistance, but prefers to roll around and scoot on her belly.  She's our mover!
• Has turned from a good napper to a not so good napper!
• Has been putting herself to sleep for about two months now (at night).  She'll even wake up occasionally in the middle of the night and talk to herself for a while, then fall back asleep.
• Sleeps 10-12 hour nights.
• Gets fussy when tired, and only mommy will do (has gotten to be quite the "mommy's girl" lately!)
• Loves eating solid food.  She just needs to get the hang of opening her mouth wide!
• Has her two bottom teeth, and I think the top ones will be coming in soon!

I decided to take some pictures of the two of them the other day to commemorate their half a year birthday.  Here are some of my favorites!

....and couldn't leave you without the outtakes! :)

Where's Kylie?!?

Kendall doing some high kicks!

Ky is about DONE taking pictures!

LOL!!!  They hated being in the chair this time!



 

New Milestone!

Both girls are sitting on their own!  They've been really close for the past couple weeks, but we had them sitting up for a while tonight without our assistance.

This morning, hanging out in their boppy's

Tonight - sitting on their own!

They are still a little unsteady, but I think they're almost there.  I'm so proud...sitting up before their 6 month birthday!  They are going to be crawling and walking before we know it. :)

Happy Halloween! (belated)

Hey, I have twins.  That's my excuse :).  Anyway, Kendall and Kylie helped Kev and I pass out candy for trick-or-treaters.  They actually had a great time.  I think they were entertained by all the different costumes!

The whole family handing out candy!

Kevin, Kendall (pumpkin) and Kylie (zebra).  The look on Kendall's face kills me!

The girls with mommy!

We actually have started them on food as well.  They have tried sweet potatoes, bananas, and apples.  So far so good.  They've given all three a big thumbs up!

Havin' fun in the high chairs!

Other new things.  Kylie has RAD (reactive airway disease), otherwise known as asthma.  :(  We have a nebulizer now, and have been giving her breathing treatments daily,  The pediatrician is hoping to wean her off the treatments totally, and only use them when she has a cold.  We have their 6 month checkup in two weeks, so we will know more then.  The doc is hopeful that she will outgrow this (most babies do).

Both girls officially have teeth!  Kendall has had her bottom two for about a month now, and Kylie's finally popped through last week!  Yesterday, they had a really fussy hour, but Kev took them for a drive and all was right with the world after that! :)  All in all, they have been taking everything in stride.  They are still sleeping through the night (for the most part) and have become very interested in the pets and each other!  They actually both pet Bono really nicely. :)

A few more adorable pics.  I took these in their room yesterday and had to share! 

They were sporting their personalized shirts with their names on them and matching Gap Jeans!  I rarely dress them matchy-matchy, but this was too cute to pass up!

I love this one!  I think it's so adorable how Kylie has her hand on Kendall's leg :)
