7 months!!!!

Elizabeth and Olivia turned 7 months on Monday and I cannot believe how fast it is going by. I love everyday of it and am sad at how fast they are changing and growing. I know it is normal, but it seems to go faster than it did with Grayson, but I guess it is because we are so much busier these days.

Olivia is so close to crawling, she gets up on her hands and knees and has even figured out one leg, but can't quite get the other one going, but it won't be long until she gets that motion down. She has two teeth and loves to show them off. It is quite easy to make her smile and laugh these days, her favorite game is Peek a boo with a burp cloth or blanket. She loves her big brother and lights up when she sees him. She weighed 16 pds 14 ounces at the Dr and was 25 and 1/4 long. I am not really sure about the length the nurse does not really stretch them out.

Elizabeth is up on her hands and knees, but is not as close to crawling, she has figured out how to roll where ever she wants to go. She still has no teeth (I promise she has worked on these teeth since she was 3 months old, but the won't poke thru). She smiles a lot and has figured out how to squeal to get your attention. She also loves Grayson and smiles so big when she sees him. She weighed 18 pds 4 oz and was 27 and 1/2 long.

Both girls are loving their cereal and fruits and veggies. They get to add meat to their diets and have started using the cup. Lizzie will even hold it herself for long periods of time, but Olivia is not that interested in it. They are now sitting up in high chairs and buggies when we go out of public. They love to spend their time in their saucers ( I think they end up spending too much time here because they love it) and on their jungle mat. They are both sitting up and just need a little more practice before I stop putting a pillow behind them as a precaution.

With their twin onesies the Porter's gave them
This is how I found them Sunday at my parents house. Sleeping the exact same way, I have no idea how Lizzie got down on the bottom so perfect without getting hurt. Would not have been my choice of a napping position, but I think it is funny.

I love the interaction between the girls and Grayson

One of Olivia's favorite places still. She has got our money's worth out of that swing
Lizzie's new favorite place to get in her room. She moves across the room to get here and thinks she is so funny!

Since we had no power for several days I don't have their official 7 month pictures I will have to post them later.

I was overwhelmed with the cuteness of this post - loved the update on the girls, all of the beautiful pictures of them AND the video - Grayson is so sweet with them and Olivia and Elizabeth are so adorable - they are growing up fast! They will need a playdate with Pete before you know it!
