It's hard to believe that Camden and Donovan are 6 months old already. It seems like yesterday that we found out we were having these two little miracles. They amaze us daily with new skills and are falling more and more into their own little personalities. They are becoming more aware of each other- making feeding time difficult especially with Camden as he stops eating all the time to see what Donovan is doing. So cute! They are both enjoying solid foods. So far they have tried squash, green beans, peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, and fresh avocado. They also enjoy oatmeal before bed.
Camden William
Camden is a bit over 15 lbs now! Far cry from 5lbs, 8oz 6 months ago. He is a very loud baby, always talking and happily shrieking to anybody who will listen to him. Camden is sitting now with little support but forgets and leans to far from time to time. He is quite the inquisitive little man- he knows how each and every toy on the exersaucer works. As you can see from the pictures he is always chewing on his hands, no teeth in sight yet (thank goodness for this nursing mommy!), but I'm sure teeth aren't far off. Camden rolls from his back to his tummy every time you lay him down, but then forgets that he can roll back over and gets so upset on his tummy! Camden still wants to have a pj party in the middle of the night... eats once during the night and wakes 1 or 2 other times. We have retired his swaddle blanket in hopes that he will find his hand or better yet his paci if he wakes- that's yet to be proven! Camden takes 3 naps a day for 1 1/2- 2 hours each. 
Donovan Kyle
Donovan is about 13 and a half pounds now, which is great for a 5lb, 9oz peanut 6 months ago. Donovan is a more passive baby, just like his Daddy (wait, does that mean Camden takes after me? No way!). He loves to observe everything around him. It was fun to watch him at the last twins playdate I went to- he just sat and watched those "big kids" running and playing around him. He does however love to let loose in the jumperoo! Donovan is a Mommy's boy and loves to snuggle, but he about jumps out of my arms when Daddy gets home from work. Donovan is sitting with some support although I really think he could do it on his own. He continues to sleep most nights from 7:45pm till 6am without waking. He takes 3 naps a day, usually about an hour long. 
I am still in awe that we are the parents of two sons. They bring joy to our everyday no matter what kind of day we have had. It was a long road to get to this point and we are so thankful for our boys. This made my decision to not return to work an easy one. Keep us in your prayers that Derek's job will continue to allow me to be home providing Camden and Donovan the best start to life.
