Almost crawling!

I cant believe my once teenie-tiny little boys are almost taking off wherever they want to! Well, to some extent :) We will definitely be buying one more long safety gate to connect to our current one that will tie off the living room & keep them [somewhat] contained. Colt seems like he will start crawling earlier than Clay, but Clay is talking almost non-stop these days. Colt is the quiet one in this regard. Its funny how they are starting to do different things at different times.

Here is Colt trying to crawl:

I forgot to include in my previous post that we found out on May 29th that they are, in fact, identical! Also known as "Super Twins." Would my husband have it any other way?! They are super, indeed. I'm so glad to finally know for sure so I dont have to feel like an uninformed idiot everytime someone at the store asks me if they're identical or not.

Sailing into 7 months

       I seriously cant believe it. The old saying "They grow so fast" is most definitely true. You dont realize how fast life goes by until you have an infant (or two!). Their growth in a 7 month time-span is truly miraculous.

Accomplishments of the boys at 7 months of age include:

• Sitting up with very little assistance
• Sitting in their bumbo chairs without assistance
• Playing by themselves in their big boy walkers
• Growing TEETH! (Clay has 1 on the bottom front, Colt has TWO on the bottom front)
• Eating all fruit and veggie solids without any problem
• Consuming 7 ounces of formula at each feeding
• Maintaining a steady schedule of 9-10 hours of sleep throughout the night (BEST part EVER of infants getting older)
• Big boy laughs. Seriously, Chris can get them to laugh like 3 year olds =)
• For the most part, keeping their food down without having huge spit ups all throughout the day

I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but those are the biggies that come to mind.

       We braved the restaurant scene for the first time as a family this past weekend. We decided to meet up with Josh & Danielle and their little cutie, Ford, for lunch. I was expecting a little craziness but was not prepared for what ensued. Lets just say I dont think we're quite ready to dine out yet! The boys are teething and wanted to play with everything in site. It was a multi-tasking debacle of trying to eat, carry on conversation, and keep the boys from attacking everything in the restaurant. 

       Ah well, live and learn. We'll try again in a few months.....

Who's ready for 7 month pictures?! (For those of you who have yet to join facebook!)
