We decided to try some finger foods today. The kids had graham crackers, diced ham, wagon wheels, and frozen green beans. Later in the evening they had buttered toast. I keep a close eye on them, but they seem to do really well.

Book Fight
Michael and Malia have discovered their love for books. As a result we have book fights because they always want the book the other one is "reading".
The video is long, but it has a lot of fun moments in it.

COSI science museum
The kids ate their breakfast super fast and then we were off to COSI. Thing 1 and Thing 2 shirts courtesy of our friend Anna.
Michael loved learning about dinosaurs and playing with blocks.
Malia was able to tame a dino and take a ride.
Then we headed to the water zone and played for a bit.
The kids told dad all about the fun they had when he got home.

"He's touching me!"
"Malia, your toy looks really cool."
"Leave it alone."
"Help, I've fallen and I can't get up."
"This toy is mine now."
Shout out to Aunt Natalie on her bday!

Lots O' Toys
When I was little we used to say "I'm bored!" a lot even though there was so much fun stuff we could be doing. When I saw this picture, it made me think of those days.

michael malia 6.5 months
Video is long, but the kids are so cute in it!
Michael is starting to get into the crawling position and Malia is making her crazy face.
First Summer!
Our baby pool has too many holes to repair it, so we had indoor fun this first day of summer.

Happy Father's Day
Taking a picture using the timer on the camera is a little difficult. This was the best of the three photos taken.
We busted out the jogging stroller and the kids love it. They both get a good view and they can reach each other which they love.
These are adorable onesies we borrowed from a friend with twins.

We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo.....
We took our first zoo trip recently and boy was it fun!
Malia enjoyed pretending to drive while Michael ate.
Penguins
Lunch!
Fish!
I returned later to go it alone and I ran into a buddy who sent me this picture.
So glad the zoo is near home, and how wonderful to have a pass.

6 month stats
No picture to go with this post - sorry. I know posts without pictures are no fun.
Anyway, here are the stats from our 6 month checkup.
Malia:
11.47 pounds
24.25 inches tall
Michael:
11.97 pounds
24.5 inches tall
Both kids are in the 0 %tile for weight. Michael is in the 2nd %tile and Malia the 8th %tile for height. We go back in 6 weeks for a checkup to make sure they are gaining weight. The doctor said their development is right on, but their weight is low. As long as they keep increasing then we do not need to worry. (I'm trying to not worry.)
In order to encourage packing on the pounds, I received some advice from a friend who also has a small baby. We will be upping feedings to every two hours and changing the solids to more calorie dense solids such as avocados and greek yogurt. I've never fed them yogurt before, so we'll see how that goes.
Other than the weight, everything went really well at the appointment. More shots, but the kids did great. A little cranky the following day, but what do you expect?
