Hi all
So we have moved on to solid food and so now it is feeding time at the zoo, twice daily. So far so good in that both Aila and Zanti will eat just about anything we throw at them, or rather, they throw at themselves! So far so good, when do they start to get fussy I wonder? As you can see from the pics, the both like to hold their spoons and this results in food being spread around a bit (in Zanti's case, or allot in Aila's) on the table, faces, hands, floor, even us if we get too close.
Aila now has her first tooth which came in a week ago and it feels like Zanti will have one soon, so I guess they will be weened in the next month or so to save mum some considerable discomfort. So we also introduced sippy cups, which actually acts as a pre bath time shower but they love trying to sue them and do actually get some fluids where they are meant to go.
Both girls have stopped packing on the pounds and at 7 month now weigh about 20lbs which while big for twins is not so far from allot of singletons. They are chatty chappies always giggling and talking to each other which seems to be more interesting than taking naps, which we now have to fight to get them to take. But, the naps are worth pushing as they then don't become overtired and as a result generally sleep through the night from 7pm to 5 or 6am. This just about saves us from going crazy as while adorable, they are full on and the most exhausting challenge I think we have ever taken on.
