Matthew all excited to try solids!!
"Uhm... what is this??"
A messy but happy eater!
Reece's first taste of solids
"Yummy!!"
He even cleans up after himself!!
Since then Reece has really been enjoying his 1 tablespoon of Rice Cereal at lunch time. You can barely give it to him fast enough. I'm thinking of increasing him to 2 meals a day.
Matthew on the other hand has not gotten used to the consitency or eating with a spoon. He has also been sick with a stuffed up nose and cough for the past few days so he hasn't been eating much in general.
Both boys did very well during the doctor's evaluation. Some things she mentioned was that Reece has 'low tone' in his midsection but it should improve soon and his bobble head when sitting will go away. Reece has a preference for his right side so we have to actively stimulate him to look and go to the left.
As for Matthew, she said that she can see that he is more of a people person and would rather play with people than with toys. We also have to stop letting him stand and not put him in the jolly jumper or exerciser anymore. She said the standing reflex needs to go away so that he can reach his next milestones of sitting on his own and eventually crawlling.
Finally, the doctor also recommended that we start feeding the boys solids. She said that it could take some time to get them to understand that it is food and meant to be swallowed and that if we just stick to the grains for now then there shouldn't be any issues with allergies.
Overall she was very happy with their progress and her recommendation was MORE TUMMY TIME!!
When we first got pregnant with Cole and Breanna, Dug's mom (Nonna) was so excited and couldn't wait to spoil her grandkids. She sent us these adorable yellow cozy sleepers. Yesterday I found them and put them on the boys just in time since the boys are growing so fast, they may not fit them anymore. So I sat them on the couch to take a picture and this was the pose they 'fell' into. I just think it is so cute.
February has been a busy month with several milestones being met. Both boys are starting to look at their surroundings and interact with objects. They seem to be art lovers as both boys spend lots of time staring at the paintings on the walls. We've had a few play dates with their girlfriends Grace and Charlotte and look forward to more get-togethers soon. 
Matthew has started cooing and is often very content just lying in bed or sitting in his bouncy chair looking at things or batting at hanging toys. But when he is hungry, oh boy can he SCREAM!! He has found his thumb and most exciting of all, he has a big smile which we seem to see more and more often. In general, Matthew is a happy baby that is growing well and developing at a normal pace and his favourite thing is napping with daddy and laying on his chest!!
