Month 5: Starting Solids

We started feeding the babies baby food!! We started them with Apples and Carrots and they loved them!! Ashton absolutely loved the Apples. You couldn't feed him fast enough with them. It was a long process to feed them because I would do it around lunch time so it was just me and they were just learning how to eat baby food.

Caitlyn started to consistently roll over from her back to her stomach. When we would put her down to sleep at night, in the morning she would be on her stomach. At the time we were swaddling them, but somehow she would always get her arms out. Since she was always rolling over, we stopped swaddling her.

They love to play in their Bumbos. Most of the time Ashton gets fussy and the girls will sit and laugh at him. It's cute to see the expressions on their faces when he is crying. We will sit them in a circle so they can see each other. Usually they will giggle and talk to each other.

They get a lot of tummy time during the day. I think Caitlyn is the only one that really likes it. Brittany and Ashton will start fussing after 10 minutes of being on their tummy.

They got an activity gym for Christmas, so now they each have their own. I set all of them up one day in the living room and they played all day on them. Our living room looked like an amusement park!
