7 months

My little doodlebugs are seven months old! It seems like time is flying by these days. Here's what they are up to...

Addilyn

• Addi is rolling all over the place! Front to back and back to front, and can turn herself around on her tummy.
• Addilyn is really trying hard to get her knees under her. The result of all that trying is a cute little baby booty sticking up in the air!
• She sleeps on her tummy or side mostly, and goes to sleep with her snuggly.
• Addi loves to play in her exersaucer.
• She also loves to eat!
• Addi can't quite sit up on her own yet, but she is getting really close.
• She loves bath time and getting her hair brushed afterwards.
• Addi has also developed a very bad habit. I don't think it's one we can do anything about. She poops every time you put her in her carseat! She gets all talkative when she does this.
• Addi is pretty quiet, unless she feels like talking. Sometimes she gets really excited and you can tell she wants to say something but isn't sure how to get it out!
• She loves books and being read to.
• Addi also likes to snuggle.
  

Ella

• Ella is also rolling all over. She finally got over her fear of rolling from her tummy to her back. She also turns herself around in circles on her tummy.
• Ella lovers her bouncer! She bounces in it like a maniac!
• Ella just started sleeping on her side and tummy about a week ago.
• She loves bath time and really likes you to turn her over on her tummy and let her splash! Momma needs a raincoat when she gives Ella a bath!
• Ella is doing a pretty good job sitting up by herself and is only a little wobbly.
• Ella also like books and being read to.
• Her vocabulary is also increasing. Ella says: momma, dada, and nana.
• Ella likes to eat too. She will eat anything you give her!
• She laughs when you tickle her.
  
  

Both girls are wearing size 2 diapers and just started wearing 6-9 month size clothes (mainly because they are getting long). They are both eating stage two baby food in fruits and veggies and just started meats a week ago. They get three meals per day, morning, afternoon, and evening of solid baby food. In between the morning/afternoon and afternoon/evening meals they get a regular bottle of formula. Addi and Ella talk to each other and hold hands often. It's so neat to see how much they love each other. Addilyn and Ella are great sleepers! I put them to bed between 7:30-8:00 p.m. and they sleep until 8:00-9:30 a.m. That is wonderful for Matthew since he gets up with them during the week and fantastic for me when the weekend finally rolls around!

I have learned to write down my grocery list if I plan on going to the store and taking these two with me. I get stopped at least 5-10 times which makes it impossible to remember what you were going to the store for in the first place!
