Picture Tuesday, 20 weeks old

Kenna and Taryn got their first taste of rice cereal this week.  They both seemed to really enjoy it.  It was funny to watch their little facial expressions while they were navigating this very new experience and try to read what they were thinking.

We got some cute messy smiles throughout the process and it was sweet to see how happy they were with a little change.

They are still very much trying to figure out how to keep their tongues from kicking it all back out, but they're figuring it out little by little.  It's definitely been another eye-opening experience trying to feed cereal to two babies at once.  I'm sure every new process along the way as my little girls grow up will take a bit longer to figure out than it did with one baby.  We're doing pretty well with the double bottle feeding right now.  As long as I have a couple of pillows to prop them up on my lap on the couch it works out pretty well.  But those days are numbered too.  There aren't many more weeks when they'll both fit on my lap and then we'll have to figure out a new system.

This week they've started to have a little more control over their hands.  Last week Glenn and I would put a rattle in front of their faces and watch their look of intense concentration as they tried so hard to figure out how to get their arms to move the way they needed to so they could reach out and hold it.  It was pretty funny.  This week they're able to move their shaky, chubby little hands and awkwardly grab toys and bring them to their mouths.  It doesn't last very long before they lose their grip but they seem to be pretty pleased with themselves having figured out a new skill.
