Adventures at 6 Months Old!

It's hard for me to believe that the boys are already 6 1/2 months old!  I was just thinking the other day that I will need to start planning their 1st birthday in a few months!  Where did the time go?

Blake's 6 Favorite Things at 6 Months:
1.  One on one interaction...He would be happy as a clam to have undivided attention all day.  He is going to be our social butterfly!
2.  Being outside...It's amazing how Mother Nature can calm a baby so quickly.
3.  His Swing...inside or outside and the faster the better.  He is our dare devil!
4.  Bounce-a-roo seat
5.  Bath time!  No matter how tired he is he always finds the energy to play in the tub!
6.  Going for walks in his stroller...we try to go every day!

Bennett's 6 Favorite Things at 6 Months:
1.  His hands.  They have replaced his pacifier except when he is going to sleep.  He is becoming a proficient thumb sucker too.
2.  Tummy time mat...he could lay there forever and play
3.  Waking up...he is the happiest little guy first thing in the morning.  He gives me the biggest smile every time he sees me look over his crib rail!
4.  Baby food.  I am so thankful for this one!  He laughs and talks the whole time we eat and if I'm lucky I get a shower of baby food when he blows me raspberries!
5.  Making faces at mom...he has learned how to stick his bottom lip out to get attention and when you look at him he just smiles and laughs. 
6.  TV...I set him in his bouncy seat while he finishes his tube feed at least once a day and he watches The Mickey Mouse Club...he loves all of the colors an the music!

Mom's Favorite Things at 6 Months:
1.  Listening to the boys talk to each other.  They really take turns going back and forth!
2.  Watching the boys hold hands when I put them on the play mat next to each other.  It's so sweet and just reinforces my theory that they will only love each other and never fight!
3.  Seeing the boys experience new things for the first time.  It's so great to see someone discover the world and all of the great things it holds!
4.  Giving the boys a bath...and getting one at the same time!  You almost need a rain coat if you don't want to get wet!
5.  Rocking my boys to sleep!  There is nothing sweeter than holding a sleeping baby.  They will never be too old for this in my book!
6.  Looking forward to the things I will get to do with them.  I'm currently looking forward to taking them swimming for the first time next summer the most...with how much they love bath time I can't wait to see what they think of a pool :-)
