Addison and Emma turned 7 months old last Friday. Every day it seems like they learn something new. Both girls are good eaters and great night sleepers. Right now a typical weekday looks something like this:
Wake Up: 6:00
6-8 oz. Bottle: 6:30
Breakfast of rice cereal and stage 2 fruits around 7:30 or 8:00
Nap 1 around 8:30 or 9:00
6-8 oz. Bottle: 10:00 or 10:30
Lunch package of stage 2 veggies and ½ to 1 whole pack of fruit and 5 ounce bottle around 1:00
Nap 2 sometime around 2:00
Small bottle around 4 (sometimes they skip this)
Dinner around 5:30 rice cereal and fruit (we are about to add a veggie to dinner)
Bedtime ranges between 6:00-7:00
Most days they also take a cat nap when we are on our way home from errands or the gym. I try to go to the gym or run errands around the same time every day. On the weekends we try to stick to the same schedule but sometimes it varies.
Emma is about to get her first tooth. Well, I can’t tell if it is two teeth or one, but it’s coming through on her bottom jaw. She's had a few difficult days. She has also been pretty clingy lately. Emma is on the verge of learning to crawl. She prefers to sleep on her belly and she moves from a sitting position to her belly often. She will get up on all fours and rock back and forth, and sometimes leap forward. She can move 360 degrees and backwards. Naptime and bedtime are her favorite practice times for crawling!
Here is Emma sleeping in her high chair. Poor baby had a double ear infection and she's cutting teeth! When we took her to the doctor last week we found out she weighs 15 pounds 11 ounces.

Addison likes to slide down in the chair when I try to take her picture. Look at that belly! She weighs 16 pounds 10 ounces!
Both girls inherited their father’s level of patience. In other words, they don’t like to wait for anything! Both love the dogs and have started seeking them out to pet them or grab their faces and pull their ears. Emma and Addison are also learning how to stretch their arms out when they want to be picked up. It’s very sweet. Both girls try to climb up me when we are on the floor and they would like to be picked up. Lately they seem to want to be held at exactly the same time. They have also started stealing toys and pacifiers from each other.
Here is that look Addison loves to give me!
Emma trying out the old bouncy seat. Didn't last very long.
Addison wouldn't even lay down in the bouncy seat.
We love our little girls! I can’t wait to see all the changes this month brings!
Here is a fun video of Addison making her favorite noise!
