7 months today!

It's hard to believe Noemi and Zora are already 7 months old. The first few months felt like years and these last few months have felt like a few days. It's so much fun to feed them solid foods, to "talk" with them, and to watch them play with each other (which currently amounts to them rolling on top of one another and taking each others' toys away).

We recently got a new camera with the help of Aly (Katy's sister) and can't stop taking pictures. Here are a few cute ones (great tiger costumes courtesy of Grandma and Grandpa Evans):

Yum Yum Solid Foods

We started feeding the girls "solid" food about two weeks ago.  We've tried mashed up yams, green beans, avocado, butternut squash, and rice cereal.  During our first two attempts, I would say 80% didn't make it down either of their gullets.  Noemi, especially, still likes to help by grabbing the spoon and shoveling the food du jour towards her nose.  This afternoon, she just kept her mouth open showing off all the strange orange food on her tongue, like that was the final step of this thing you call eating.  Zora seems to have a slightly better handle on the chewing and swallowing.  But - it's all relative.
