Fishing

Devlin's first fish!

Matt set out a couple rods for Devlin last Sunday. He snagged a nice sized catfish that Devlin reeled in, with a little help, of course.

7 months

The twins are 7 months today!

Official Stats

Colette

15 lbs 14 oz 

26.25"

Griffin

19 lbs 8 oz

27"

The babies still have not mastered crawling. Colette can go backwards and often gets herself stuck under the couch. Griffin has decided that rolling is his mode of transportation. Both babies are sitting up on their own. The last two nights the twins have slept through the night. We have been giving them an extra feeding of solid food in the evenings and increased their last bottle to 8 ounces and it seems to be working.

Maryland

We packed up all the kids and took a road trip to Maryland in May. I am still not sure how we made it happen, but we did. We had a ton of gear for the trip, but somehow Bryan was able to get everything in the car. We drove through the night, so the kids slept for most of the trip. 

We spent the first part of the trip on Tilghman Island. Bryan's family were in town for his cousin's wedding. It was nice to have everyone meet the kids. Devlin had a blast playing with his cousins.

Two Supermans! (Supermen?)

 I think Aedan and Devlin were having a dance off.

The twins were not as impressed.

The Brown boys and families.

Devlin and the Bay Bridge

For the second part of our trip, we headed to Baltimore. It was great to be back in Baltimore and act like tourists. We wandered around the Inner Harbor and Bryan took Devlin on the USS Constellation or as Devlin calls it "the shooting ship".

 

The twins were their too! They slept a lot in their stroller.

  Nap time!

We also visited the B&O Train Museum.

Another picture of the twins sleeping.

This is how we do rest stops!

All in all the trip went well, we may even do it again. Maybe...

Graduation

Devlin's school had a graduation ceremony tonight for the Senior class and VPK students. Each class performed a dance to songs from a different decade. Devlin's class did a dance routine to songs from the 90's

6 months

It is hard to believe, but the twins are 6 months old today. I do not have official weights for them, but I would guess Colette is near 15 pounds and Griffin around 18. The twins are both teething. Griffin's bottom, right tooth came in about 2 weeks ago and his left, bottom tooth is close to coming through the gum. Colette's 2 bottom teeth should also be in anytime now. The twins have started to eat solids three times a day and tried finger foods for the first time today. We have also introduced the sippy cup to them.

Both babies are attempting to army crawl. It is only a matter of time before they are mobile. Griffin has mastered sitting up, but Colette is still working on it. She usually face plants after a few seconds.

Since the twins figured out how to roll from back to front and back again, they now sleep on their stomachs. Speaking of sleeping, they are pretty much capable of sleeping through the night. I say capable because some nights are better than others. Since they started teething they have alternated who wakes up at 4 am. Most nights they are in bed around 8 and will sleep until 6 or 7. Colette is like Bryan and prefers to party at night and sleep all day. Griffin is like me, he falls asleep early and wakes up early. 

The babies are starting to interact with one another, they have also started interacting with Devlin and it is hilarious to watch. I can only imagine what the next 6 months will be like.
