Little Native Texans

We decided spend the morning celebrating the babies' Texas roots. They seemed to like their bibs and managed to keep them on all day, which is relatively unusual.

On the Move

With all three babies on the move, it has been a bit of an adventure looking after them. Henrik just rolls over back and forth across the room, while Camille has figured out a way to inch forward on her back. Annika also moves around, but she essentially crawls backwards. Nonetheless, it has been fun to see them continue to interact and smile at each other. They all have discovered their voices. Usually while Annika is busy singing (in a fairly high pitched voice), Henrik and Camille occupy themselves by pulling off their socks and playing with their toes.

Some Notable Events

A lot has happened since our last post. We were out of town again and have Stacy and Grammy to thank for looking after the babies while we had a nice weekend away.

Here are a few notable events:

We started all three kids on solid food. They have each had rice, oats, squash, carrots and green beens. They have liked all of them so far, but the feedings have become increasingly messy.

Camille is the first one to have a tooth break through. She seems pretty amused by it as she is always running her tongue across it. She also reminds us often that she is getting her first tooth! Camille is definitely the strongest of the three. She tries to bounce herself out of her bouncy seat and can just about stand up in her Bumbo seat. Camille has figured out how to crawl on her back and can move several feet on her own by arching her back and inching her way across the room.

Henrik has established a favorite hobby of playing with his feet. He is constantly pulling off his socks and is always grabbing his bare toes. With some occasional help, he can now hold his own bottle for an entire feeding. He is always interested in playing and now wiggles all the time when we're trying to feed him.

Annika can now roll back and forth from both sides. She is always smiling and laughs at everything. She now loves to blow bubbles. While her temperament has done a full 180 degrees since we brought her home from the hospital, she still wakes up hungrier than the others and lets us know that every morning!
