7 Months

These sweet precious boys turned 7 months old Friday!

7 months... I'm still in shock that they've been here for just 7 short months. It literally feels like they were born 7 years ago and yesterday all at the same time. We celebrated this particular milestone with our flu shot booster! Yay shots!

This month has been big one. We got to throw a party for our Uncle Brett & Rachael who we are officially calling Auntie, both boys started crawling at lightning speed, pulling up on EVERYTHING and Wyatt has mastered the W sit - yet another #momfail in the books - but we are working on it. 

Wyatt is still as concentrated as ever and Owen has started to take after little brother in this aspect. Both boys study everything and thoroughly enjoy playing in and around their exer-saucers. Gross motor is off the charts for both boys, but Owen still pulls a little ahead. Owen is standing on EVERYTHING and trying to stand on his own, while I'm over here thinking "Slow your roll dude..." I bet they are both walking before one... #Lordhelpus

Owen concentrating really hard - I tried to call his name to get a pic but no success, pretty sure they have learned how to ignore me as well...

They are finally to the age where they recognize Ben and I, as well as each other, this makes everything exponentially cuter. Their faces, their noises, everything. They search for each other in the morning and spend at least an hour catching up with each other. It's like SO much happened while they were sleeping that they have to hash it out. Seriously the cutest thing. The other morning after nursing Wyatt he popped his head up, saw Ben and it was like Christmas morning. Coos, giggles and immediate crawling to wake up Daddy. #bestillmyheart

I can officially say the boys are now eating solids, just once a day, but still it's ALMOST everyday. Both are still nursing like champs but I hope to start doing solids more than once a day in the next few weeks. They really enjoy eating anything and everything - minus peas, peas are a no go and we learned this when they decided to show off their other new skill, projectile spitting. If there were a tin bucket on their high chair trays, both boys would be masters at making the "Puh-tang" noise. You know the one rednecks make when they spit their dip?

Things they love this month: Being outside, reading books, singing with mama, swinging, sitting up in the bathtub, splashing (Owen), drinking water from a sippy cup and straw (Wyatt), holding hands with each other, playing peek a boo with EVERYONE including Daphne, pulling Daphne's tail, and her ears, eating fruit and cookies and grass and leaves, chewing on everything, pulling up, hitting and banging on toys, studying the mirror, cuddles, the windows down in the car, and so much more.

Things they hate this month: When mom leaves the room, when Daphne leaves the room, loud noises, getting stuck under toys, falling while trying to climb, shots, being strapped into anything including car seats, not being able to see each other, when mom won't let them drink the bath water, when mom takes away grass and leaves, when mom claps her hands or says no.

Weight - About 19 lbs each

Height - Around 25 inches or so

(thank you cry it out)



Those arms and those rolls... yum.



Owen, the big bro, always checking on Wy-guy



Oh Hey Mom, just chilling in my swing...



Hey, Mom, You still there?? Peek a boo?


And just to prove that they don't sit still for photos all the time... OUTAKES from our 7 month "photo shoot"
