6 months already?!

Josefine had her 6 month check last week! She is doing great. She weighs 7.4kg (=16.3lbs) and is 65cm tall. Continuing on the 50% of her weight and 75% for height. The pediatrician continues to be impressed with her, how smiley, sweet and easy going she is! (she smiled the entire check and did not fuss once!)
We started introducing some foods and so far her favourite is banana. (unfortunately it 'blocks' her and we've had some issues with that). She definitely does not like the carrot/potato soup I've made and she makes the funniest faces before spitting it all out again! We have also tried papaya (which she likes) and apple (also a favourite).
She is now able to sit by herself for aprox. 30secs but then she bends to one side and falls, which is something Kaio find hilarious and he keeps watching to see her lean to one side and almost fall (of course we are always there to catch her).
Kaio is only speaking portuguese now. He has perfect sentences and uses his words very well. Everyone is very impressed he learned it in 4 months! Jason has now made a point of only speaking enlgish to him (which he does understand without any problems) so we ensure he does not loose his English knowledge.
Kaio has been playing by himself very nicely. He makes up stories and finds diferente toys/items to play out his 'stories'. One day I started telling him a story about a police officer (a short, made up story that lasted 2 mins) and now he is constantly asking us - conta historia da policia no cavalo (tell the story of the police on the horse) or - policia na moto (police on the moto). We always tell something diferent and he absolutely loves it! (we take advantage of this interest and teach him some lessons, like - "the horsey ate all his food so he becomes big and strong." "The horsey and the police officer were very good friends and were nice to each other and did not hit each other" etc)
Both Kaio and Josefine started swimming classes. They both LOVE it. With Josie I started the 'bebe' class, which is the one I enter in the water with her and we do all sort of activities to make her comfortable with the water. She really loves to 'splash' and being in the water. The teacher was really impressed in how she adapted easily in the water and goes to the teachers' arms without any problems. BTW, she is absolutely ADORABLE in her little bathing suit (pictures to follow shortly)
Kaio started a proper swimming class (where I don't enter with him), this class is normally for children that are 3+years, but because we have Josie they allowed us to 'try' this class and would decide if he could join it. To start, Kaio was a bit shy and affraid of the new situation when we got to the changing room, and the teacher had warned he might not even get into the water on the first class to allow him to adapt to the new situation. However, after another teacher (there are 3) played and envolved him with some games, he went into the water and followed the entire class without a problem! I was SO proud of my little guy (he is by far the youngest) but did very well and all 3 teachers said he was more then ready to start the class!!! We went to get a nice sweet afterwards to celebrate his huge achievement! BTW, he is also absolutely adorable in his sunga (Speedo)!
