six months!!

my goodness...where has the time gone? zach and zoe are already six months old!! we went for their check-up on friday and got a big thumbs up! :) zachary is now 27 1/4" and 21 lbs 4 oz and zoe is 26" and 17 lbs. yes...i have big babies! just that much more to love, right?!!

in all seriousness though...they are doing great! zoe can now sit unassisted (although still a bit wobbly) and zachary is not far behind. he just has a little extra weight to balance, so he gets a bit longer! they are talking non-stop and are starting to really enjoy playing with toys and examining things.

i've been holding off on feeding them cereal until six months, and what do you know...the time is here! i'm anxious to see how they react to cereal, but i think they're both more than ready. they are constantly watching jason and i as we eat and want to put everything in their mouths these days.

nursing is still going great and so a part of me just wants to keep them on milk...it's me in denial that my babies are growing up! :( jason thinks i'm nuts, but it makes me sad seeing them grow so fast! they're getting to be more and more fun though...that's for sure! their personalities are starting to shine through and are starting to acknowledge that each other exists...it's so much fun to watch!

we went on our first road trip to dallas to visit the andiel's and for jason to play in his annual volleyball tournament. we were nervous as to how the babies would do, but they did wonderfully! the drive there and back couldn't have been any smoother and they still slept great away from home. not only that, they had a great time with leah and katarina (the andiel girls) and even did well with the dogs!
