Five month update

The babies have grown so much within just the last month!
Bradley has been eating cereal and peas now. The first two meals with peas went great- the last couple meals he has thrown fits when we try to feed him. I switched to squash last night after starting the meal first with peas. He of course was mad again so I tried to switch to the squash mid meal to see if he would like that one more but he was so mad he didn't want anything but his bottle.

Kiersten has no clue what to do with solid food. When I give her a taste her eyes get big and she gets a look of panic- its very cute actually.

Bradley now blows raspberries all the time and is so cute! We rarely blew raspberries at them so he must have picked it up on his own. But now that he is started, we blow them back at him whenever he does them.
Last Sunday Adam was holding Kiersten in church and she started to cry during the sacrament. He tried to calm her down and moved his finger up and down on her lips and she was shocked by the noise she made that stopped crying and started laughing- which got everyone in the row to start laughing with her during the middle of the sacrament. The next day every time I held her she would start talking then squawking until I made that noise with her mouth so she sounded like wah wah wah wah wah. Needless to say, My arm got very tired that day! She has fazed out of it a little during the week so I don't have to do it all day long but she still enjoys it. Another thing she enjoys is her crinkle book! I was talking with Savannah Herger in the Mothers lounge one Sunday and she handed Kiersten her daughter's crinkle book. Kiersten was so intrigued by the book that I decided to go by her one. I was at Walmart ( I know I cheated on my love, Target but they don't have everything I need sometimes) and I went to the baby section to get one of the books. I met up with my friend Debby who was doing some returns and she asked what Bradley thought of it. I tried to take Kiersten's book away she started crying so I went back and got another book for Bradley. They were so quiet throughout the store and the only noise they made came from the crinkling of the books. When I checked out I handed the cashier the two books and Kiersten had a melt down! As soon as I handed her book back she calmed down and then fell asleep on the drive home. She can always be entertained by that book! She just loves staring and turning the pages.
