The State of the Gaggle Address (6 Months)

Zoe gives the State of the Gaggle Address for the first six months.  She speaks about issues which will affect the family in the next six months on behalf of herself, her parents and her twin sister Sidney. 

Press kit available upon request.

Yes we can,

The Gaggle

Holy Cow, has it been Six Months??

As many of you may have noticed, six months have passed since Sidney and Zoe were born.  At six months they are crawling (sort of), playing like crazy, babbling, and very very very busy.  They have said Mama (but it was more like “Mamamamamamamama…”).  They are enjoying pureed food now, bananas are a BIG hit.

Things with the parents Grubb are great as well.  We are also very very very busy.  Some nights we feel like crawling (sort of), and when we talk it sounds like babble.  So the entire Gaggle is progressing normally according to our pediatrician.

Speaking of pediatricians, we’ve had a weigh-in:

Sidney – 20lb 2oz (95+%), 27in (90%)

Zoe – 18lb 6.5oz (90-95%), 26.75in (90%)

Yes, they’re big, healthy girls.

Five Months Old

Don’t worry! We’ve had a talk with the girls and asked them to slow the growing down.  I assume drooling means “Yes Dad.”

As you can tell by the pictures, our girls are getting really big.  Susan and I agree that Zoe will probably skip crawling and go straight to walking.  Sidney loves to move around on her belly though, she has even managed to get everything in the right order once or twice and managed an “army crawl” for a few steps.

Their new toy is a Jumperoo.  This has become quite the crowd pleaser.  Sidney looks like she is doing a jig when she gets in it.

(I am knocking on wood loudly as I say this)  They are sleeping through the night five out of seven nights per week!

I hope these pictures make up for the infrequent posting.  Please enjoy.  If you want a thrill, go through the older basket pictures and check out how much they’ve grown… you’ll be amazed.

All the best,

The Gaggle
