Too Cool for the Pool

This month has been jamb packed with fun and new experiences. We started out trying solid foods. We have been giving them rice cereal at meal time and it has been a messy adventure. Also this month the boys have been exhibiting their skill in rolling over from both sides and showing a strong determination to crawl. In the last few weeks we have started on the play date circuit. We met our new best friends Charlie and Valerie but the funnest date was with Maya because she had a pool. The boys were very stylish in their summer threads and sunglasses. Aron was so proud of his outfit and was wearing it so until he got in the water. He was not enjoying himself and did not understand why he was wearing his clothes in the "bathtub". Aden on the other hand embraced swimming and relaxed as we towed him around the pool. It was very fitting that Aron was the first one out of the pool and Aden was the last.

Laughing

The boys are 5 months old and everyday it seems they are bigger and smarter. At the end of May we started making formula in the blender due to shear quantity but we will be starting solid foods in June. The boys are so active laughing, playing and rolling over. They have been playing with toys vertically like the Johny Jumper and Exersaucer. The first time we opened the JJ we put Aden in thinking he would be the one who would bounce off the walls but he just sat there, but Aron watching him just about jumped out of Daddy's arms for a turn. So we put Aron in and when Aden saw Aron enjoying himself he became interested. After Aron's turn we put Aden back in and he used his feet to turn himself in a circle and then lift his feet so he would spin. Alex was scolding him that kind of behavior was against the recommendation of the instructions. I am just thinking, "that's my boy." So we have had a lot of laughs this month and so have the boys. We call Aden Mr. Chuckles because he likes to laugh at his brother and the doll known as his girlfriend. Aron thinks Mama is hysterical. Finally someone who appreciates my jokes.
