7 Months!

Today my little beans are 7 months old. They are changing so much its just amazing!! I knew I would love my children, but I really didn't think it was possible to love something so much.


























Emma is wondering what Paige is doing with her toes....


This is what you call "OVER IT"

Paige...
You have changed so much this month!! First off you weigh a little over 21lbs! You used to be my quiet little girl but that has changed!! You are still mellow and calm and definitely my little "chill" baby, but you have definitely found your voice!! Your quiet little coos have turned into much louder grunts and screams! Screaming is your newest thing, its not a mad or upset scream, but an excited scream. You usually do it while in your jumper...oh how you love that thing!! It's so loud and just not expected from our quiet little paigey waigey, that it totally caught me off guard the first time you did it. But now it makes me laugh! You are eating more solid food and are trying new things, but still your favorite is sweet potatoes...you LOVE them!! I tried some cheerios with you not too long ago and you have taken to them quite well...although I do think you have more fun flinging them across your high chair tray then actually eating them. You have also started talking and practicing making sounds...you say "ah da da da da" over and over again..its SOOO cute!! And of course Daddy loves it because he says you are saying "da da". Your biggest accomplishment this month is rolling!!! YAY!! you did it..and it was just yesterday. You have been diligently working on it for a little over a week now, but for some reason it just clicked and you haven't looked back!

You have a very sweet and mellow nature and those are some of the things I love most about you. You are such a happy girl and rarely ever get fussy or upset...usually just when you are tired. You love to laugh especially when someone gives you kisses or makes funny noises on your neck and cheeks (which are just so darn kissable). You have the biggest smile that just lights up your face! My favorite time of day with you is in the morning when you wake up. I walk in to get you and peek over the crib only to be greeted with the biggest wide mouthed smile I have ever seen. I pick you up and you immediately reach your hands out to touch my face. It's just so sweet and you are so gentle. I can't wait to see your personality develop more and more.

Emma...
My little Emma Bemma...I have one word for you...BUSY!!! I have a feeling Daddy and I are going to have our hands full with you! You have so much energy and love to move around and see new things! You are the comedian of the family and can always count on you for a laugh! You weigh a little over 17lbs now, and I still call you my little peanut (even though your thighs are getting quite chunky these days)! You figured out how to roll last month and I have a feeling you will be crawling soon enough. You are a goer and you roll and maneuver all over the place. You are getting better at sitting up, but still like to have the boppy for support! You love love love your toys and constantly like to be grabbing at something. The other day I walked into your room and you had figured out how to reach the toys on the mobile and and had pulled it down. I had seen you working at this for a few days and you finally succeeded! Once you set your mind to something there is no looking back!!! You love your eating time, not your bottle...would rather be doing other things, but your solids are your favorite!! You have also tried cheerios and at first just scattered them around your tray, then you figured out how to pick them up (with you whole hand), then yesterday you realized you need to bring your fist to your mouth...now you are just trying to figure out how to get them from your fist into your mouth!! You are loud loud LOUD!!! You definitely like to hear your own voice and you like to share it with everyone!

You are my spunky girl and there is a little "stinker" in you!!!! You can see it in your eyes, and it just makes me laugh! I love you to bits and the sparkle you have in your big blue eyes is refreshing! I can always expect something new from you. Whether its a late night of making you laugh & giggle after your bedtime bottle (so much for not riling them up before bed) or the the little temper you have when something you want gets taken away from you, you always keep us on our toes!! You are our little spitfire and I am excited to see how you grow!

Girls...
You have begun to interact with each other more and more these days and it just melts my heart! To see you stop what you are doing and look at each other and touch each others face and talk and coo and laugh is just priceless. Yes twins can have their challenges, but when you see moments like that everything else goes out the window! My prayer for the two of you is that you continue to grow together and love each other, not only as sisters but as friends. You share a bond that can never be broken, and may you always treasure that!
