Today, Chloe and Sebastian had several firsts! They are now 4 months old, and are quickly experiencing new things.

Both of them tried solid food for the first time today. Auntie Christine was around to witness Chloe and Sebastian trying out banana oatmeal. Sebastian kind of let it dissolve in his mouth, but he did eat it. Chloe took to it very quickly and swallowed normally. They both seemed to enjoy the experience.

Chloe also is almost sitting up on her own. She was able to hold herself up for around 4 seconds, using her hands to help her stay up.

Sebastian began to hold his own bottle. He was so adorable. Annie and I were wondering what his “praying” gestures with his hands were for. Now we know that he can use it to hold his bottle. He held his bottle for almost his whole feeding.

Sebastian is very close to rolling over on his own. He already does it while sleeping in his swaddle, but we have yet to witness it while he’s awake.

Nothing else new is going on. Just work stuff. We’ll be off to Santa Barbara for Thanksgiving, where Vincent and Amelia will get married. We’re looking forward to that trip.
