7 (almost 8) Months

We interrupt this Christmas posting marathon to celebrate {only 3+ weeks late) 7 months of our sweet baby girls! Yes, in a mere 2 days, we will celebrate 8 months...but I've made it within that 7th month!

Disclaimer: please excuse the wildly different color of these pictures. 1.) they were taken inside, unlike all the others except the 1st month. 2.) i had to use a flash that i dont completely understand. and 3.) we have a wonderful barrel ceiling in our living room that caused said flash to bounce more wildly than usual. oh and 4.) i have a lot to learn about lightroom!

Not only do we have rollers and scooters, we have sitters! Sure, it didn't actually happen until 2 weeks into this 7 month, but none-the-less, we have sitters!

They love it. We love it. Addie loves it!

They love playing with toys, taking things from each other, and discovering anything they can get their sweet little hands on! 

This month has been full of change and a good amount of chaos in our house (due to our house), but these little girls have managed to maintain good nap schedules and, with the exception of when we've traveled, pretty good night time sleeping too!

Anne Perry

I don't know any other way to describe Anne Perry this month than a completely different child on new reflux meds. Completely.

I have finally admitted that I didn't know what I was going to do with her for the next few months if they were going to be anything like her 4th-6th months. She would never.let.me.put.her.down. Her pediatrician finally saw her spit up at their 6 month appointment and put them on generic Prilosec. Um. Miracle drug for these little girls. Totally personality altering for Anne Perry! And a tremendous blessing for our family!

Anne Perry is most often a/an:
happy girl!
jumpy jumping girl!
owner of two very sharp teeth!

excellent sitter!
mama's girl.
always observer.

lover of all things shakey.
stealer of her sister's toys.
raspberry spitter of baby food.

clap, clap, clapper!

Audrey Kate

This laid back little girl seems to have more of an opinion about things than we originally thought! She loves being right in the middle of things; and if that changes, she lets you know about it! Ninety-five percent of the time, she is happy go lucky; but that 5% when she's unhappy, she has a cry that will break your heart!

 

Audrey Kate is usually a/an:

happy girl.
awesome sitter.

 

knees rocker.

trying so hard to be a crawler.
stealer of her sister's toys.
focuser and can maintain amazing concentration.
fan of ritz crackers.
non fan of canned baby food!

 

another raspberry baby food spitting girl!
smiler. oh how this little girl's eye's light up when she smiles!

Both girls:

love them some cheerios and ritz crackers.
think blowing raspberries is a form of communication.

 

hate HATE hate sleeping in pack-in-plays.

are finally sleeping {much better} in separate cribs.
are huge fans of their lovies and sleep sacks.
sleep rolled to their side.
continue to adore their big sister.

pretty much have their mama and daddy wrapped around their little fingers!

and...

are completely unbelievable, joyful blessings!

Happy 7 (almost 8) months little girls!
