6 Months

My boys are half a year old! They are getting to be so much fun. 

The boys truly are such happy babies. They were sick last week and it didn't even seem to phase them... until I tried to clean out their noses.

They are now officially in two separate cribs. They have decided that they don't like to have their hands swaddled while sleeping, but they love to play with each other. Because of this, they tend to wake each other up when they are laying next to each other. I was worried that they would have a hard time not being together, but they are doing really well. And putting them down for naps is way easier since they don't spend the first little while fighting to get their hands free.

The twins had their 6 month check up yesterday and are still not on the charts. The doctor sent us home with a mission to cram as much food as we can into our little boys. They are, however, right where they should be with development. The doctor was really impressed since they are so small AND they are twins. (Apparently twins for some reason tend to develop slower than a single baby would).

Cooper's Stats:
Weight - 12 lbs 4 oz     0.08%
Length - 24.25 in     0.26%
Head - 16.5 in     12.87%

Bennett's Stats:
Weight - 12 lbs 12 oz     0.25%
Length - 24 in     0.1%
Head - 16.75 in     27.15%

Okay, I guess their big ol' heads are on the charts. haha.

The doctor is now letting us feed the boys solids. Yesterday was the first day they got to try rice cereal. And they loved it!

Here is Bennett after finishing his meal. It was quite messy but they enjoyed themselves. I didn't get a picture of Cooper afterwards because Jason was too quick to clean him up.

Empty bowls... Ta Da!

Recent Doings at the Webre House

This is just a random selection of pictures of what we've been up to lately. Enjoy.

The boys look so darn cute when they wake up from naps. They love to just play with each other after waking up now, instead of crying to be picked up. It makes it really nice for me because I can slowly wake up in the mornings or finish what I'm doing in the afternoons before attending to them. I just love that they love each other so much.

They LOVE to eat each other.

While I'm in the kitchen cleaning or cooking, the boys enjoy watching me. 

They are getting pretty good with holding their own bottles.

Bennett would like to show off his abs at this time. He's been working on them lately.

He has also recently discovered his feet. Cooper has as well.

I went to check on them during a nap and Cooper was snuggled up against Bennett. I thought it was precious. 

The Binky Wars have begun. They LOVE stealing each other's binkies now. It's pretty cute and funny, until someone starts crying. But really, the crying rarely happens. I think it's funny that they just like to pull the binky out of the mouth for the shear sport of it. They don't necessarily do it so they can suck on it. Once, Cooper was eating a bottle, looked over, saw that Bennett had his binky in so he simply reached over and pulled it out. Then just dropped it on the floor and continued eating. 
They are also loving each other's hair. Most of the time they just pet each other's heads, but once Cooper pulled Bennett's hair hard enough to make him cry. Then he looked over at me with the most adorable smile. Silly boys...

They have been wanting to sit up a lot more lately. This is where the Bumbos come in handy.

Bennett FINALLY rolled from his back to his stomach on April 24th! He has been able to roll from his stomach to his back for 2.5 months now. And his brother has been rolling from back to his stomach for over a month.

I just though Cooper looked so peaceful while he slept. He has been a fan of sleeping on his side lately.

Bennett found my shirt on the floor and decided it was a fun toy. He even figured out how to get his arm into the arm hole. Clearly he's very proud of himself.

My aunt Susan and her family were in town this past weekend. It was so fun to see them! It has been a while.

The weather has been so nice lately that we decided to play outside right before bed time. It felt great. I am loving that it is staying lighter longer now. This is at 8:00 pm!

Jason was blowing on their faces. Hence Cooper's awesome expression.

In other news, we have tulips! Tulips are my all-time favorite flower. And they remind me of home. So I was really excited when I saw them popping up this spring.

Easter Sunday

We didn't do anything Easter-y for Easter this year. Not even dying eggs.... Next year when the boys are older, I think Easter will be more eventful. At least I hope this is the case. We did take family pictures, however. So here they are for your viewing pleasure.

I am obsessed with their cuteness! Thank you Grandma Imy for the sweet outfits!

One proud daddy and his two adorable babies. All of which are sporting sweater vests.

This is the best family shot we could get. We had put the camera on a timer, so there was no one to draw Cooper's and Bennett's attention to the camera. They were too distracted with how handsome each other looked. I mean, who could blame them? Look at them!

Behind the Scenes. I just love this picture. haha.


Twin Pics

Here are some random pictures of my boys. Enjoy.

Bennett went thru a phase where he would use his brother for his own comfort. 

Like an arm rest.

And foot rest.

Bennett loves snuggling blankets and burp rags.

Chilling in their Bumbos with their sweet pjs. Bennett is on the left, Cooper is on the right.
