Twins Eating For the First Time

(Scroll down and pause the music if you want to hear the video)

Ben gets a "little" excited about eating.  Is that a Downey or a Larsen trait?  Hard to tell.  We knew he was ready for food one night when we were eating dinner.  As he was sitting on my lap he had his eyes fixated on my twice baked potato.  Just for kicks I brought it toward his mouth. Mind you, this potato was pretty big.  With no hesitation he opened his mouth as wide as he could with the full expectation of eating the potato.  He was a little upset with me when the potato had not made its way into his mouth.  Anyway, I hope eating food will make him a little happier.  So far he is frustrated with his lack of ability to run at 5 months and he lets us know it regularly.

Dane doesn't get quite as excited, but he likes to eat too.  We think he is back to 1lb more than Ben.  Dane likes to snuggle and takes his time to observe things around him.  He usually only gets mad if he is really hungry or tired.  We love them both....what a pair!
