7 Months Old!!

Ahh! Every month I just cant believe it! They are getting so so fun. They interact with each other and Patrick and I, and are loving their toys and going out and doing things. They are such little flirts and smile at everyone. They are so happy to be around people! Which is great because we have big families. Now that they are loving eating real food, they have slowed down a bit on nursing. They still nurse on demand and before and after naps, but they rarely need in between snacks. It has really made it easier to do big trips. And, this month I have really gotten used to getting out of the house with the three of them by myself! My mom still comes a lot, but I am now pretty confident in doing things on my own.

Declan-


Declan is such a sweetie! He loves his cuddles and is starting to be obsessed with his siblings, especially Owen. When he wakes up and O isn't there (because he doesn't sleep as long) Declan cries until we bring him down and he sees Owen. He always wants to cuddle and hold O's hand. He is sitting up really well and is very close to crawling... he's up on all fours! He still only has 1 tooth.

Weight and Length: Probably around 17.5 pounds.

Eating: He nurses every 4 hours and is usually fine with that. He only really needs snacks in between if he's teething. He eats solids at least twice a day.

Sleep: He is our best sleeper. He sleeps for at least 10 hours at night and usually 2 hours for a nap twice a day. He also usually takes a 30 minute cat nap before dinner.


Clothes Sizes: Still 6 month size!

Favorite Things: Bath time, jumping, being outside, going for walks, and his favorite toys are all the crinkle animals. He loves the sound!  

Least Favorite ThingsDiaper changes are still the worst thing in our house.

Milestones: Sitting up completely unassisted!


Owen-


Owen is our little clown! He loves to talk and laugh and make others laugh. Recently he has been babbling at his brother and sister to try to get them laughing and thinks its hilarious. Its so cute! He always wants the attention and if he isn't getting it he will let you know! But he is such a little pleaser. He is a great sitter too and is very close to crawling. He actually had started scooting and can move up to a couple feet on his belly to get something. He also just has 1 tooth!

Weight and Length: Probably around 17.5 pounds.

Eating: He nurses every 4 hours but sometimes needs a little snack in between. I think he just loves nursing and he sometimes needs those few minutes of time with me. He eats solids at least twice a day.

Sleep: He needs the least amount of sleep. He usually sleeps about 10 hours and is always up first. For naps, h usually sleeps for 1.5 hours but if we are out it might only be and hour. He rarely takes a third nap unless he is being worn or in the car.


Clothes Sizes: Still 6 month size!

Favorite Things: Bath time, jumping, the exersaucer, being outside, going for walks, and his favorite toys are Sophie the giraffe and anything wooden. He loves to chew!

Least Favorite ThingsDiaper changes are still the worst thing in our house. But he loves being naked so hes better when we leave him diaper-less for a bit.

Milestones: Sitting up completely unassisted and scooting!


Evelyn-


Evelyn is such a Daddy's girl. She just lights up whenever he is in the room. She is such a love bug too,  She loves cuddles and being held. If she is upset sometimes she just wants to be picked up. She loves the Ergo the most for this reason. She is the most expressive and makes some of the cutest/funniest faces! She is getting very good at sitting but isn't as eager to be mobile so I think she won't crawl yet. She also only has 1 tooth!

Weight and Length: Probably around 17 pounds.

Eating: She nurses every 4 hours and is usually fine with that. Sometimes she will want a snack especially if she sees Owen nursing. She also eats solids at least twice a day.

Sleep: She sleeps about the same amount as Declan. She sleeps at least 10 hours at night and around 2 hours twice a day for naps. A third catnap is hit or miss.


Clothes Sizes: Still 6 month size!

Favorite Things: Bath time, the exersaucer, being outside, going for walks, her favorite toys are any animals and things that make noise.

Least Favorite ThingsShe is a little better with diaper changes but still doesn't like them. She also still won't take a bottle unless I am out of the room and its from daddy.

Milestones: Sitting up completely unassisted!
