You are both becoming a lot more independent these days! Also a lot more vocal and interactive! You are getting a lot better at eating and still loving whatever we feed you! We have added spices/seasonings to your food in attempts to get you to continue to be good eaters. Y'all are still not crazy about sweets like fruits, but we offer them just in case. You attended your first football game and 2 tailgates and a Breast Cancer 5k walk this month! You surprise us constantly with how well you can behave despite being "off schedule".
Our schedule these days:
7-7:15AM wake up. You both usually wake up really happy and are just rolling around sucking your fingers and babbling until we come to get you up. You guys drink a 6 oz bottle and then watch TV in your bobby pillows while Mommy drinks her coffee and prepares food/bottles for the day. We play and spend some time outside playing. I now feed you a 4oz bottle around 8:45. You take a nap from 9-10:30/11. You wake up and eat "real food". I also sometimes will give you 2 oz of formula if you seem really hungry. We change clothes and usually go run errands during this time. You drink another 5 oz bottle around 12:30. We play a little while and read books. You nap again from 1-3:30/4. You drink a 4 oz bottle when you get up and most days meet our friends at the park. You both still fall asleep on the way home from the park or occasionally take a rest in your crib from 5:30-6 if your fussy and tired. At 6PM we feed you real food. Now you take baths together in the big tub and are starting to really like this time of night playing in the water. You then drink another 5 oz bottle before bedtime at 7PM. You are still great sleepers!
You are getting so big! You are also becoming sweeter every day. You weigh around 16 1/2 lbs! You have long limbs too! We think you are going to be tall like your Daddy. You are in size 2 diapers now and wearing 6 month clothes. You still suck your left middle two fingers- "wolfpack style". You can officially feed yourself a bottle. One day about a week ago you just started holding onto the bottle and I would look over a min later and it would be empty! You are pretty needy and lazy, but feeding yourself helps me out big time! Yes you still hate the car! I am waiting for you to outgrow that...please!! You love love love to sleep...but mostly in your own crib and on your belly! When you wake up from naps or in the morning we both fight over who gets to get you because you peak your head up over the bumper and just grin! You love all books! You are so cute when we read to you. You look at the book and then at us and constantly go back and forth with this sweet smile like you are really paying attention and enjoying what we are reading. You are still a drooling monster...your clothes get soaked and so do we! You are teething although no teeth have come in yet. You are also getting good at the "tripod" sitting up and getting stronger everyday. You love any toy that plays music or doubles as a something good to chew on:) You love attention...any kind and from anyone! When we are out and about you will smile and laugh at anybody, which is adorable. You still don't have much hair, but we are praying you inherit your Daddy's hair. You are still our sweet little snuggler.

You are now a little fire cracker....very independent and little bit stubborn. You are also adorable and so very entertaining! You weigh around 15 3/4 lbs. You are still our little peanut. You are in size 2 diapers and size 3-6 month clothes. You got your first tooth last week! You have become a very loud napper. We actually had to put you in a pack n play in the guest room a week ago because you kept waking up Graham (and we all know he needs his sleep!). You will wake up and yell/scream for a min and then continue to sleep for the rest of your nap!?!? The Dr said its just your sleep cycle. Other than that you are still very very easy! You do let us know when you don't want to do something or are mad, but only fuss when something is wrong. That being said you have started to not like strangers...or anyone who tries to hold you other than me and Daddy. Although this makes us feel special it is embarrassing at times! (so funny how you and Graham are so different when it comes to strangers and attention- exact opposites). You love music and books. "5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" is your favorite book. You are constantly moving and kicking your left foot. We have to watch you very closely if you are in your glider (while we read) or on the changing table because you are a little rolly polly. You are getting really good at the "tripod" sit too! You have become attached to your elephant lovie and have to have it to sleep with. You hold it in your hand while you suck your thumb....the sweetest thing ever! You are still our crazy little girl. We do like the fact that you are a little rowdy and not too dainty for a girl. You love being tossed around and tickled and hung upside down...thats when you laugh the most.
Theyre so cute! I love seeing your posts and pics - love your little fam!
