Yummy

This week was a big week in the Manning home, our twins ate their first bowl of rice cereal on Tuesday. It was such a fun experience. Steven had Tuesday off, so we chose that day to start; just a week shy of their 6 month birthday. Steven fed Berkley and I fed Meredith, my mother and grandmother were present as well. Meredith wasn't quite so sure about it but she caught on quickly and Berkley, he opened wide for that first bite and then grabbed the spoon for the second bite. It's such a big milestone for the babies, it's just so hard for me to believe that they're nearly 6 months old already.




In other development news, Meredith said Mama twice this week but it wasn't on purpose or directed at me, but it was still mama:) Meredith can pivot up onto one knee so I feel like she'll be crawling first. Meredith has also discovered this hilarious deep grunting sound that I love to hear. I took Berkley back to physical therapy on Wednesday for his torticollis (tight neck muscle) and I'm going to have to start taking him once/week. Both babies are sitting up with assistance but of course, they're pretty wobbly.

I'm singing special music at Piney Grove on Sunday. I still don't know what I'm going to sing just yet. Sunday would be my sister's 31st birthday so I feel like I should sing something in her memory but I find that I don't want to constantly be reminding people of that sadness in my family's life, especially considering all of the joy we've had since the babies were born. All that matters really is singing a song that brings glory to the God who brings all things into my life, the good and the bad.
