1) SOLIDS
Rice cereal first. Not a big hit. Both Chance and Grace seemed ambivalent about it. Then sweet potatoes (as seen in these pics). Gracie liked the taste and began to get the hang of eating with a spoon, opening her mouth and swallowing quite well. Then bananas, which Chance seemed to like but couldn't quite swallow. His tongue got in the way--he pushed the food out of his mouth instead of to the back. Then green beans and apple sauce. Gracie ate like a pro, but Chance is still struggling, poor boy. What to do with that tongue, a.k.a. "third lip"? We hope he'll be eating solids SOON.
2) CRAWLING and SITTING UP
Chance is crawling EVERYWHERE -- he mastered it while Grandpa was here last week. Gracie can sit up on her own but still isn't crawling yet. That's okay: Chance can't sit up by himself yet. (Nothing like fostering a little bit of competition, eh?)
3) TEETHING
Both Chance and Grace are cutting their bottom, two, front teeth. Chance's are bigger (i.e. came in earlier), and Gracie has been hurting for about 2 days now -- Mommy has been using the Baby Orajel, which seems to work better than Infant Tylenol. Hope to include pics of those teeth soon -- they're difficult to capture on film!
A P.S. about the photo below: Before we left Birmingham, Mommy braved a few trips with the twins by herself. Here we are in Barnes & Noble, where Gracie's "squealing" (to show her joy) scared off a customer.
