23 Weeks Old

Ruby & Charlotte are 23 weeks old today. Ever since we threw away their pacifiers, the girls seem to sleep better through the night. They can soothe themselves back to sleep without much fussing if they do wake. We are glad that the transition away from pacifiers went so smoothly, we were prepared for some sleepless nights that never happened. It is hard to believe that in about 3 weeks they will be venturing into the world of solid food (albeit mashed/pureed solid food). When we eat in front of them, which does not happen too often, they are enthralled with watching the food go into our mouths. Even the dog eating catches their attention, though they enjoy anything the dog does. Enjoy the many photos and a video below!
