1/2 Birthday!

Avery and Ryan are 6 months today! It is amazing how much they have changed, especially in the last month! We are having so much fun. They definitely have very different personalties. Ryan is very smiley and will smile for anyone. Avery likes to make people work for her smiles. Overall, they are both great babies and enjoy playing, eating, and sleeping.

-went on their first vacation

-got to spend time with their grandparents

-Avery started eating cereal (Ryan started at 4 months but Avery had no interest)

-Both made it through all the Stage 1 veggies (peas, green beans, squash, and carrots)

-Sleeping a longer stretch at night - we are at 10 hours right now

-They both love standing when we hold their fingers

-They both mastered rolling from the tummy to back early on, but Avery hasn't done it lately and Ryan does a few at the beginning, but then gets tired. They have both rolled from their back to tummy a handful of times

- Outgrew their swaddles

-Avery loves grabbing Raleigh's tongue when Raleigh licks any leftover food off of her

-Ryan loves to kick when he is laying on the floor, maybe he will be a great swimmer or soccer player
