Green Beans & Sippy Cups

Today the twins had their 6 month well-check. Ryker was 25 1/2 inches and 14 lbs. 8 oz.!  Makaylin was 26 1/2 inches and 15 lbs. 12 oz.! They are doing so well and are catching up on the growth curve. Makaylin is in the 76th percentile for height...without adjusting her age (it is confusing-- since they were 6 weeks early, they get evaluated by adjusted age and real age). I'm not sure where she got that from since Adam and I do not have tall families.

Today we also got the green light for solids and sippy cups. We were told to "go crazy" and let them eat until they are full-- once a day, and then two and three times a day as they demand it. We were a little concerned earlier this week because Makaylin was refusing her bottle because she wanted cereal... NOT formula. Apparently she thinks she's a "big girl" now!

So... for their first solid food they tried green beans. Makaylin was NOT a fan!

"DAAAAAAD! These are DISGUSTING!"

Ryker, on the other hand, couldn't get enough! He ate 2 whole jars, the last 1/3 of his sister's jar (she was just not having it!), whatever was left on the lids, plus a bowl of oatmeal cereal. He LOVES his green beans! He loves them so much that he was smashing his bib into his face to eat whatever was on there. LOL.

"YUMMY! Stop taking pictures of me and give me more!"

They also got to use sippy cups filled with water. Makaylin figured it out right away, while Ryker wasn't too sure what to do with the cup at first. :) They are so different!
