7th Months Old!

In my mind, 6-months old seemed like such a big milestone to reach. I must have blinked, because the boys are now 7 months old today. Wow! It's weird to wrap my mind around. It seems like they were just born, yet I feel like I've spent millions of hours with them. Especially when they don't take one of their naps, which luckily is the exception. When they're fussing or grabbing my hair, they seem larger than life. Yet, they seem so small when Eric is holding one of them or when we pick them up from their cribs. It's been a wonderful 7 months!

We weighed and measured them tonight as well:
Reid- 18.2 lbs, 27 3/4 inches
Aiden- 17.8 lbs, 27 1/4 inches
Growing like weeds.

Gearing up to go to Grandpa and Grandma Starrs' house:



Sandy and Grandpa Starrs feeding the boys. They enjoy their vegetables (green beans, peas, carrots, and sweet potatoes). They really don't care for fruit (apples and bananas, so far). We think it's too sweet.

Outfits from Great Aunt Marita:

Competing for the bear. The boys have started interacting with each other more and more over the last month. I see a lot of refereeing in our future.



They enjoy being read to and more recently checking out books on their own. Their favorite book is Perfect Piggies by Sandra Boyton. Eric and I can recite it for you from memory.


Cheering for Ohio State, who beat the Squawkeyes!

Wishing "big sister" Kacey a Happy Birthday!

With Thanksgiving two days away, I find myself spending extra time counting our blessings. Happy Thanksgiving, friends and family! Thanks for allowing me to share our lives with you.
