7 Months Old

The boys are 7 months old. That's so hard to believe! Each day they are growing and doing new things. They have added new foods to their diets. First cereal, then vegetables. Alex and Logan will eat just about anything although they prefer the non-green foods. Nick still isn't very interested in spoon food, unless it's sweet potatoes (or tonight he started out good with the squash, but then stopped).

They are also more mobile! Gone are the good ol' days when we could set them down, turn around and back again and they were still in the same spot. Now they love to squirm out of their chairs and roll all over. They're even starting to crawl, although it's still more of a scoot than a full blown crawl.


They have also found their voices more. When they wake up in the morning, they usually lay in bed for a while and play/talk to themselves. We can hear their happy squeals and chatter over the monitor. It's so cute. As the day goes on, they talk more and more. And of course there's the screeches. Logan started it and still holds the record for highest pitch and greatest volume. But he's taught his brothers the fine skill of screeching. Our ear drums have already been damaged, but I feel bad for our neighbors or people walking past the house. With some of the nicer weather, we've had the windows open. You can hear our high-pitch choir just as loudly outside! The good news is, they tend to tucker themselves out pretty well to. In fact, they can sleep anywhere sometimes!

Alex - asleep in the activity center

Nick - loves to sleep with something over his face

Logan - asleep on dad - that can't be comfy!

Speaking of sleep... They are all doing well at sleeping through the night. We put them to bed between 9 and 9:30 and they usually go to sleep once they're in bed. Then they start to wake up between 6:00 and 7:00 am. They usually will play for a little while and maybe even take a short nap before breakfast between 8:00 and 9:00. Did you notice what was missing??? No more 4 am feedings!!! They get 3 meals with formula and cereal/veggies and then a bottle before bed... and we both get an extra hour of sleep! So far, so good. Although they have been waking up a few times during the night wanting their pacifiers. But still... no 4 am feeding!

We had the boys baptized this last weekend. They were baptized along with their cousin Sydney. If anyone took pictures... I'd love to see them! We were a little too busy with the boys and didn't get any pictures... oops. I'll post more soon about our Mother's day festivities and the baptisms. For now, it's time to go to bed.

One last note/update... Congrats go out to my sister and brother-in-law. They're expecting baby number two this December. Sydney will be a big sister! Yay... We're all happy for you!
