7 Months

This is my third post today, I'm behind.  It's a good thing these kiddoes had their SEVEN MONTH birthday yesterday to keep me on track.  It is getting a LOT more difficult to get these guys to sit still for their photo shoots, I'll post a few so you can get an idea how things go.

Evan




Ryan




Collin




They are eating full bottles three times a day (5.5-6oz each including rice cereal), spoon feeding veggies and getting a partial bottle (4oz) once a day, and sleeping from 9ish to 7:30ish.  Ryan can almost sit up on his own (he did for a few minutes the other day, but not again so far), and Collin and Evan aren't too far behind.  They all roll and scooch around on the blanket.  They all roll over or scooch off their bouncy seats if not strapped in.  No teeth yet, but I keep thinking any day now...

Easter! April 4,2010





Happy belated Easter!  You might wonder how those angels could be any trouble... the babies decided they no longer wanted to sleep during church.  I don't know what changed between Palm Sunday and every other Sunday before that (perfect angels), and Easter, but it was very stressful for mom and dad.  They wiggled, squirmed, made noise, played with toys that never seemed noisy before, pulled mommy's dress so I thought I would have a wardrobe malfunction, it was altogether a disaster.  Needless to say we took the next week off from church.  It may be time for the nursery for these kiddoes so mom and dad can enjoy the service...

Spoon Feeding

We are well immersed in the spoon feeding now.  They eat baby food once a day, and do really well.  They are each eating a single 2.5oz serving each time.  There is nothing they won't eat apparently.  Evan didn't like the green beans at first, but quickly got over it.  So far they have had squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, and green beans.  Today we will try sweet peas :)

These are of their first day with rice cereal (March 27th)...




The animals hovered...


Ryan was NOT a fan of rice cereal...





They are doing really well holding their own bottles, just usually on our laps... this was in a moment of frustration when everyone wanted to eat at the same time and Steph was the only one home.  Neenee couldn't even button Ryan's pants he was so impatient!

They like veggies MUCH more than rice cereal, this was green beans...


I swear they aren't always in the same seats, but I just noticed that in all of these Collin is on the left, Evan is on the right, and Ryan is on the end.
