Three times the journey : Messy eaters and on the roll

We now are noticing how much more active our babies are becoming, after a few weeks of trying to roll over the first born Esmae started the tribe off with showing off her new tricks, it wasn't long before Miller noticed and realised he wanted to try and do it as well. Now with two on the roll they were now able to move around, although it was great we now had to watch everything! After a few weeks Indi too joined in on the fun and decided it was time for her to begin rolling around too :)

Starting solids was exciting, at almost 6 months old we noticed they kept watching us eat and were waking lots more frequently so we thought be a good time to introduce food. I started them on some avocado and after a few days moved onto pumpkin then kumera, kumera being the clear favourite. One spoon seemed enough for the first week or so then as they got bigger so did there appetite. They were still a bit small for their highchairs so feed times quickly became awkward with me usually having one in swing, one propped on couch and one on my lap. Luckily we put high chairs up and life became a little easier for me. After 4-5 weeks of starting solids we had gradually increased to 3 meals a day and lot more washing!!

With the babies getting a bit older we were able to get out a bit more so we visited the local playcentre and decided it would be good fun for the babies. Some mornings it was a mission to say the least but it felt good to be taking the babies out. Sometimes it was easier to stay at home but that can get a bit boring day in day out. Although at home we started having fun in water on the warm days, even explored gloop another. With the older age I did find them more full on through the day but it was a lot more rewarding with the endless smiles and giggles we shared.

In March the babies turned 7 months old and we decided to try Indi back on the formula this time she drank it well and didn't vomit it up every time, this was a relief as my milk was decreasing by the week, Esmae and Miller were still mostly BF, although had 1-2 bottles a day as well :) Whatever we tried to help Miller sleep through the night didn't work, the girls were great they would sleep usually 8pm til 6am however Miller needed either one or two midnight snacks, on the odd occasion he would sleep through which was just great (either that or I was too tired and slept through )
