We are at 7 months already! The twins are growing up SO fast... I know I say this in every post but I just cannot believe how fast it goes.

Here is what they are up to...

Ian has just started sitting up... he can sit for a few minutes... still a little wobbley but doing very well at sitting... Alex still doesn't care to sit.. but he did just sit yesterday with Ian while I read two books... they stayed sitting the whole time! He (Alex) is getting SO close to crawling.. he scoots backwards and is able to move in circles.. if he sees something that he wants.. he starts moving in circles and will roll to get it.

They love to be read too... I have 2 books that I read to them... Zoo Pals and "B" is for Bear... they get so excited when they see me pull those books out to read to them... they just watch me read.. they must like my voice.

As soon as I lay them in bed for their naps or at night... they both immediately roll on their bellies... they sleep that way now... it is cute because Alex tucks his knees under his chest and his butt sticks far up when he sleeps.

Ian has 6 teeth now... 2 on the bottom and 4 on the top... I have to be quick when feeding him because he bites the spoon and won't let go!! No teeth for Alex yet.. I keep checking because I know he is close but nothing has popped through yet.

They are eating veggies and fruit now... they get a fruit in their cereal that they have in the morning and they get 2 veggies for lunch... they love peas and sweet potatoes! Other than peas and sweet potatoes.. they have had squash, carrots and green beans. As far as frut.. they have had pears.. peaches and prunes (only when they get a bit constipated)...I still am making my own veggies and will start making my own fruit as they come into season... I am also still making my own baby wipes - I love them more than the store bought ones!!

I just started working on some sign language with the twins... I did this with Brevin and it was so nice to know what he wanted.. I only do a few basic things like Hungry, Thirsty, Tired/Sleep, please and thank you... it worked really well with Brevin so we will see how it goes with the twins!

Both twins are blowing raspberries.. they love to do this while cereal is in their mouths.. I should probably wear an apron while feeding them because I tend to be wearing their food when they are done!! I have tried giving them those Gerber puffs... Ian eats them so fast and loves them... Alex doesn't care for them at all.

They still love their bottles more than anything... it is so nice because they hold their own now... they still like to drink about 5 ounces at a time. We still put them in their boppy pillows for their bottle feedings.. it is the perfect position for them but we now put them on the floor.. we used to put them on the couch but now they roll over and are on the move the second they are finished drinking.

Ian is in 9 month clothing and probably could be in some 12 month and Alex is in 6-9. They both wear #3 diapers... Alex really could still be in #2 but we don't want to buy 2 different sizes.. we will get that totally mixed up!

They still love to watch their eebee video and now they love to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse - they just laugh and smile when they see Mickey. Brevin is also an entertainment.. they love watching their older brother!

The both still love bath time... Ian will play with toys in the bath tub and Alex just kicks away non-stop... we love bath time!!

Both are such good and happy babies.. they smile and laugh a lot! Both love to be tickled!!

Happy 7 months boys!!!
