Update On The Girls: 7 Months

Our sweet kids are keeping us busy and the days are flying by!

Adelyn at seven months:


Emery at seven months:


Some facts from the girl's seventh month of life:
-Wearing 6-12 month clothing.
-Mainly wearing cloth diapers with no snap. In disposables, they are wearing a size 3 diaper.
-Eating 4 times per day. They take an 7 ounce bottle of formula at all of their feedings. They are also eating 3 meals of solids per day. They have fruit for breakfast, yogurt or oatmeal for lunch, and vegetables or beans for dinner. They also eat baby mum mums, puffs, and Cheerios.
-They are sleeping in their crib at night and for all naps. They go down for the night at 7:00pm and don't wake up until 7:00am!! They are great night sleepers, which has been an incredible blessing for all of us! They take 3 naps per day, 2 longer naps in the morning and afternoon and 1 very short late afternoon nap.

Random things we don't want to forget:
-Both girls are rolling from belly to back, and from back to belly! They roll everywhere now!
-Although they still sit primarily in the Bumbo, they are starting to sit with only a Boppy for support.
-We tried to move them from being swaddled from the armpits down to no swaddle. It was extremely unsuccessful. :). They are now sleeping in sleep sacks/ wearable blankets.
-Their favorite time of day is when Daddy gets home! Benton watches for Landon through our front window, and starts running around screaming "dadadada.". They get the biggest smiles and know exactly what is happening.
-Both girls enjoy taking walks. Emery is content to just sit in the stroller and look around. Adeline will sit in the stroller for awhile, but likes to be held for part of the walk too (mainly in the evening).
-Both girls love books! Adeline likes rolling around with books and touching them. Emery likes being read to and looking at the pictures.
-Emery is starting to rock back and forth on her hands and knees. We should have a crawler before too long.
