Five and a half months

Sorry I've been absent, we've been busy with my parents leaving town :( Fortunately, they left us in charge of their camera so we are once again able to take and post videos and pictures! So I will try really really hard to upload some new images by this weekend, we have some really great ones of the girls!

Eating is going alright. They seems to enjoy the cornmeal cereal they had recently and now we've got a grain cereal for them to try (the Health Ministry suggests introducing grains to try and deter a gluten allergy.) One gluten-tard in our family is enough, thank you very much!

Bracha weight just about 4.5 kilo (almost 10 lbs!) and Eliana weighs a whopping 6.5 kilo (a little over 14lbs). Bracha is almost triple her birth weight despite her stubborn insistence to continue wearing newborn clothing. But we've started putting her in 3-month sizes in the hopes that the extra room will convince her body to grow and fill up all the wasted space. Meanwhile Eliana is wearing a size larger which she is swimming in as well, but she was clearly outgrowing her 3-month stuff (oddly enough the 9-month Carter stuff fits her pretty well. The sizes had always been accurate on her with the newborn and 3-month, but we don't have Carter 6-month onsies so we tried the 9-month and they're about the same size as her other 6-month onesies. Aunty Barbara, I guess it's a good thing you got those for them, thanks!!! Today she wore the blue Cape Cod onesie...it's adorable on her!!!)

So, pictures soon!

Carter sizes run small. Mechal was wearing 12 months at 6 months. Don't go by their labels. Just go by what fits them.
