7 months!

4 days ago, my babies turned 7 months old. I really am in shock. Partially because the last 7 months have went by so quickly and because my babies are getting so big. They are changing so much right now. Kenzie is crawling. Well, army crawling, but she can get anywhere and everywhere, so I consider her completely mobile now. She started last Monday, out of the blue. She is so proud of herself. I love when she gets to wherever she wants to be and turns to look at me with her adorable smile as if to say "I did it mom! Ha!" She loves being able to get whatever toy she wants, including whatever her sister has! She is our little bully of the 2. Always grabbing lexie and trying to eat her. Taking her toys, blanket, whatever. Her first word was mama. :) She was mad one day while I was feeding Lexie breakfast and started yelling at me. About 2o minutes later, I was holding Lex and Kenzie started in again, "mamamamama" Yay!

Lexie is practically crawling. She is so stinkin close! On her hands and knees rocking herself forward. she was even crawling backwards last week! Which means, they have figured out how to go in opposite directions! Yikes! She is finally sitting up on her own and she can even get into a sitting position when she is on her tummy! I couldn't believe it when I turned to look at her and she was sitting up! So cool! Lexie has also said her first word. Chalk it up for another win for mom. I am three for three baby :) Daddy even heard her and was not too happy :)

My girls are amazing. They sleep a ton and are the easiest babies I have ever seen. Bedtime is about 6, sometimes 7. They go down without a peep and I don't hear from them until at least 6 am. Most days it is closer to 7. Today, it was 8:45! Oh yeah! Normal morning they have a 7 oz bottle at 6 am. Back to sleep until 9. Then they have about 8 ozs of cereal and fruit. Nap for 2-3 hours. Bottle, playtime, nap. Dinner of 8 ozs of veggies, bottle, bed. Two solid naps a day and a solid 12 hours a night. Best schedule ever.

Child proofing is in the works. I feel like I need to vacuum twice a day! Kenzie is a huge fan of the dog food bowls :/

Madison is so happy that the babies are starting to play with her. She can read them stories and they watch her so intently. It is really sweet. She loves them so much and is the best big sister ever. They light up when she is around. She has adjusted so well to becoming a big sister. She is so helpful to me. I love my girls :)

Birthday planning is in the works! We will have a busy season ahead of us! My birthday this week, halloween with 3 kiddos, Thanksgiving, Madison's 5th birthday, Christmas, New Years, Babies' first birthday! Can't wait for all of these "firsts" with our family.
