Poo...

i'm not sure where the saying, 'the proof is in the pudding', comes from but i will say that we have 'proof in the poo' that mary catherine is actually ingesting food. 

up until now, she and henry have been putting food into their mouths and thrusting it back out again. 

in the past, i have always been slow to introduce solids to my babies.  mostly because i despised spoon feeding them, but also because they are babies for such a short time.  i know that their diet is complete with nursing until one, so i just never rushed it. 

however, i'm glad that i have taken that even a step slower and allowed the twins to tackle food as they are ready for it.  instead of me deciding it was time and just start shoveling food in with a spoon. it seems that they are a little slower to come to the physical milestones than my other children.  i'm afraid if i had not consciously slowed down that i may have frustrated them or me. 

i should have taken a picture of the poo for you, but alas, i still cannot find my battery charger or my flip video camera.

A Couple of Videos...

For those of you not on FB...

Mary Catherine

Mary Catherine has finally gotten her first tooth! It broke through the other day. I would share a picture, but my camera battery is dead. She would not let me get that close to her anyway.

Coincidentally, she has finally started eating too. She's not nearly as aggressive as her 'big' brother, but she's exploring.

Eight Months

Henry and Mary Catherine are eight months today.  Let's the games begin!  Their little personalities are slowly coming out each day.  It will be interesting to see if how we see them now is how they remain to be in the future.  So far, they don't have polar opposite personalities.  Each one is fussy for different reasons and each one is laid back about different things. 

Enjoy the video I shot yesterday during their floor time.
