Half Birthday

Max and Kate celebrated their half birthday Thursday.

I really call this week, Max's week because he did a few firsts. He decided it was time to learn how to move out of Kate's way, he now moves easily from back-to-belly and belly-to-back. He discovered his toes, mommy's toes, and Kate's toes. He likes to show us "How big is Max", I am still trying to capture that one on video, but he did it for Mama Kranz on Skype which was pretty fun. He loves to eat. He pulls my hand to his mouth and opens. He likes rice cereal, but especially LOVES bananas. It seems he got over the being messy phase, because we head straight to the tub after every feeding. Bananas are sticky.



Kate always has to be one steps ahead of Max. So now I put her down and she tumbles across the room in about two minutes. She can work her way around furniture to get where she wants to go. She does not really enjoy the rice cereal or the bananas, but given the choice she goes for the rice. She will burst out into giggles for no reason obvious to anyone else. Kate will take everything Max picks up away from him.



They both like to be around each other a lot. I find them holding hands, cuddled together on the mat, giving kisses, and playing footsie. Neither seem to mind the jogger and the walks are getting longer. Both will spend hours in their highchair playing with tupperware lids. The other day, they managed to collapse their playgym over themselves. All I could see were little legs and all I could hear were giggles.
