I've come to realize over the past six months that babies are like puzzles! For example, why did Addison tolerate fruit ok at first, but now seems to get a rash if she eats it too many days in a row? Why does she sleep ok in our bed but not as well in her crib? Why do they go from laughing to crying so quickly? Why do they like Baby Einstein videos one day but scream during them the next? Where are they trying to go when they try and twist out of their bumbos (while crying)? Why do they have days where they hardly spit up at all and others where it seems like that's all they do?

These are just a few of the unanswered questions I have about Addison and Fischer. I guess it would help if they could talk and explain some of these things to me. :) I suppose part of the fun of parenting is trying to figure all of this out. Just when you think you've figured something out, things change again.

Things are going well around here, despite the questions above. :) The babies are getting more and more interactive everyday and it's fun watching them play with the toys around them! They are both grabbing for things a lot now and are able to hold them pretty well. One of their favorite toys at the moment are these rings that link together so you can make a really long chain, or just hold one ring. They seems to really love those! They are also enjoying some of the smaller stuffed animals we have.

They are both really noticing Bo and Sassy more now. When the dogs walk by, you can see that the babies sort of reach out, trying to touch them. They've gotten ahold of some fur, but so far the dogs have handled that ok. I think Bo and Sassy are both still a little unsure about these little people that cry and make noise all the time. Just the other day, Addison was squealing/talking REALLY loudly (really high-pitched squeals too) and it was obvious that Bo was a bit annoyed by all the noise, but he kept sitting right beside her. I think over time, they will all be friends!
