Six Months Old

I can't believe that we've already made it half way through a year.  The time is going quickly and slowly at the same time.

Ian is really active.  As soon as he's laid down, he will roll over and start exploring his environment.  He's also started a little bit of an army crawl; he's slow in moving forward, but he can do it.  It also loves the ball and kicks his legs and moves his arms to try to get it.  He's a happy kid, who will smile super quickly.  He's become really interested in faces and will reach out to touch (a.k.a. scratch) any face in front of him.

Evan has become more smiley in the last month.  We're wondering if his tummy is feeling better because he doesn't spit quite as much (though he does spit) and smiles so much easier now.  He's also getting stronger core muscles and is easier to hold when walking around with him.  He's really good at rolling from his tummy to his back, but will only go from his back to his side (and not all of the way to his tummy).  When on his tummy he can rotate in a circle.

These babies are also starting to notice each other more and more.  When feeding them they watch each other taking bites.  Ian has also started to "crawl" towards his brother so that he can touch his toes, face, or whatever else he can get his hands on.  This also means that Ian has started to grab the toys that Evan is holding.  If Ian is close, Evan will also reach out and get his brother.  They are funny to watch.

Evan got a hold of Ian's cap and made him roll over onto his back.
