Addicted to Cheerios

Oliver and Emerson have embraced food in all shapes and forms, some they aren't ready for yet, but that does not stop them. When Isaac, Eli and I are eating anything they quickly crawl over (yes they are full on crawling now) to see if we will share. Their Favorite by far though, is Cheerios. All they have to do is hear the crinkle of the bag or see the box and the whine with glee ( I say whine because they are a little bit in the impatient side when it comes to getting their Cheerios). Anyway it is kind of cute. They are also getting a knack for eating bits of bread, bananas, and an occasional apple bit, when big brother isn't looking.
In other news the boys have discovered the balcony and how to open the screen door leading to the balcony. They love being out there exploring, finding the occasional stick or leaf to chew on before mom rescues it from their mouths.
Since they have mastered the crawling thing (they are only 7 months old!!!!) they have decided to focus their learning to the sitting on the knees (mastered last week) and now trying to pull to a stand ( it is still a work in progress, thankfully). This continual learning keeps mommy on her toes and constantly kissing boo boos from faulty execution of the new still. (Oliver is now called "scar"because of a cut he got under his eye when he was being a daredevil and connected squarely with a toy. Bad toy, how dare you get in the way. Emerson also has his fair share of bruises from his explorations)

They have also begun to explore their vocal abilities. They have become masters of the "ba ba ba" sound and recently began saying "da da" (which of course makes Isaac feel like a million bucks) At cute thing they do, espcially Oliver, (Heather B will get a kick out of this) they blow rasberries with their lips when they are angry.
Overall it is fun to watch our growing twins explore their world and embark on new journeys. I can't believe how fast they are growing and learning, but I am trying to enjoy every minute of it!
