I've decided to use sentence caps for the blog titles. You'll be glad to know that I've settled on something.
On the girls' six-month anniversary, (yesterday) we had a little afternoon tea party. Judy made an enormous carrot cake, and we invited Ole and Dianne. Only Ole came.
The carrot cake was excellent, ad none of us had dinner afterwards because we overindulged. The girls had no cake, but they did have these things:
- Steamed carrot sticks
- Cucumber sticks
- Boiled potato
They are really keen on feeding themselves. This baby-led weaning thing seems to be mostly good. However, they do gag, which is a bit scary. Mum & Trudi are not at all keen on that aspect. There is a difference between gagging and choking, though.
Ole gave the girls some cute little feeding devices. You post solid food inside this net thing, and the baby gnaws on the little net bag and gets some food through it. Ivy had some apple that way this morning - it worked well. Here's a picture:
Here are the cool new things that the girls can do:
Ivy can roll over. She did this for the first time (three times) ON HER BIRTHDAY! She rolls from her back to her side, then dithers, then goes onto her tummy.
Hazel can sit unsupported for a few seconds. If she has a tiny bit of support (say, a cushion behind her), she can sit for longer. She also made her sitting-unsupported debut on her birthday.
