Ramblings about our Life: 7 Months!!

Wow! Time is flying by with these two!! I definitely think it goes by faster when you have an older child keeping the day going by so quickly :)

New this month:

* Food (veggies)!! And I'm planning to start fruit soon.

Did someone say food?? Yum!!

They're still so small.
But, since starting food, I've noticed some weight gain ;)

* On Friday Aug. 24th, I had all 3 boys outside in the evening before Patrick got home. Jack was playing "two points", I was holding Luke nearby and Colt was in a bouncy seat. Every time Jack would throw the ball into the basket, Luke would crack up!!! It was the first time I've seen him laugh without being tickled or played with! Ahhh... it's moments like these I wish someone would proposition me with a reality show series. Then I would have all these moments on film.... but then there'd be all the other junk too... so maybe it's good that I'm just a "nobody"! HA

Luke was laughing at Naya licking his toes

"not the face!"

* I think Jack is finally starting to distinguish between the little boys

* They are taking all naps in their beds! YEA!!! So, we were finally able to get rid of the swings (only to accumulate more bouncy seats, exersaucers, etc.. ) I am so over my house looking like a daycare!

They LOVE this toy of Jack's!!

* Jack and Luke are really starting to interact and play with each other. I think when Colt matures a little more (and maybe is a little more easy-going) he'll join in on the fun!

* I finally realized that if I don't give Colt as much formula before bedtime, he goes down like a champ!! I had been up for 1-2 HOURS with him while he spit-up, burped, fussed, etc before finally settling down. Now, he has his last bottle, burps and goes down without any problems. Talk about a break-thru!!

* Anytime the little boys are near each other they are holding hands, linking arms or grabbing for one another. It's the cutest thing! At last month's doctor visit, the nurse and I spoke briefly about whether they will develop "twin talk"... a made-up language that only twins understand. She had doubts, since they'll likely mimic Jack, but it will certainly be interesting to watch.

A rare photo with Mommy

* They can both sit up for several seconds on their own!!

* They're holding toys and reaching for anything nearby (including Naya!!).

* We're using the exersaucers, foam playmat, play gym, and a walker we borrowed from Aunt Anne quite a bit! They are lifesavers when I don't have enough hands to get things done. One of my hang-ups (yes, I'll admit it) is trying not to let the little boys lay down while they're awake. I'm fairly self-conscious about them not having flat heads, so I try to have them upright while they're awake.

* We are on a MILITANT schedule. I'm sure there are people who think I should ease up, but it's the only way I can manage all three and keep everyone (mainly ME) sane and happy through the day. Naps and feeding times are not optional :/

And now for an excessive amount of 7 month pictures. Remember they're twins... so I get double the amount of "normal" pictures :) heehee
