She found this to be hysterical...the dress got stuck on her head (she was looking in the mirror and laughing)

Happy 1/2 Birthday to my babies!

We have a tradition in my family to have 1/2 birthday celebrations. Since my brother and I were 3.5 years apart (June and December) we had a small celebration for the non birthday kid. Well even though my kids share a birthday I wanted to keep the tradition going. For their half birthday we took Eeenie and Commadore on a walk around Blair Point with Lilly's new scooter. We saw some fiddler crabs, and cows; it was a very nice morning. After that we sang "happy 1/2 birthday" to the kids with cupcakes. Lilly was very much into blowing out the candles...she is getting so big! Now that we have reached the 6 month mark with MJ, the doctor said we can aggressively start solid foods with him. He has had the pleasure of trying rice cereal, butternut squash, and peas! So far he is not a fan, but I'm sure that will change when he can have tastier flavors! As of his 6 month check up, MJ can sit up very well, bring objects (all objects) to his mouth, has very good motor skills, and is making more noises. He is a long lean baby with a small head, unlike Lilly who was long and heavy with a big head! It will be interesting to watch then grow up! They are very funny together. Lilly can ALWAYS get MJ to laugh, no matter what his original mood! We are enjoying the last of the summer temperatures by taking some trips to the beach and using our beach pass! Lilly is very excited about Halloween, I just hope she will wear her outfit when the big night comes!
