6 Months

The girls are 6 months old today!!  They are both in size 3 diapers and just started wearing some 9 month clothes. They both want to crawl but can't figure it out. Ellie does really well at getting up on her hands and knees and kind of hops forward. Audrey can get up in her hands and knees but has trouble getting her head up too. It usually turns into her butt in the air in a bear crawl with her head on the floor. She doesn't like to stay put and rolls all over the place. Ellie is pretty content for a while with just a toy. They both only like to be on the floor for so long before they want picked up and held. Ellie is getting pretty good at sitting but still falls over after a while but Audrey just isn't strong enough to sit up for long. They both really enjoy eating solids. They like baby oatmeal and haven't been super fond of vegetables. Ellie loves to feed herself and gets mad if she doesn't get real food while we eat. Ellie is eating 7 oz. of formula about every 4 hours. She still arches her back a lot so sometimes her eating is a mess. Audrey eats 6 oz. of formula every three hours. If she can't eat exactly every three hours, including at night, she thinks she is going to starve to death. She also wakes up with a lot of gas. Ellie has been sleeping most of the night but sometimes gets up for an early morning feed. They are not on a good schedule because of school so they are not consistent with naps. They are so much fun and have been rolling on top of each other and have been fighting over toys.
