7 Months

The babies are growing so fast. They sit up very well now (but still topple over sometimes). They are so curious and just study everything. They want to grab everything and their hands are always all over our faces. Mason bounces and makes noises when he gets excited. His first tooth has completely broken through his gum and his second is already coming. Sawyer is up on her knees all the time. She will be crawling before we know it. I am a little sad that they won't be babies much longer. Mason is already starting to look more like a little boy and less like a baby. They are so much fun though and their personalities are coming out more and more. I just love all of the smiles and giggles that we get right now! And Sawyer has started saying momma. So cute!
Always drooling...


Look at the raised eye brow...

Summer Days

We had a nice relaxing weekend. We watched a lot of Olympics and went swimming. Mason loved swimming. He laughed and kicked his legs the whole time. They are a lot older than the last time we took them and they had a lot more fun playing in the water this time. I love the Olympics! The last time the summer Olympics were on I was working at Box Office. I watched them all day at work then.




Mason has a bottom tooth breaking through his gum. I can feel the sharp little edges poking out! He has been waking up crying at night and has been extra fussy.

Sawyer is getting so close to crawling....

What's Going On

A few weeks ago we got sick for the first time. It was not very much fun to say the least. There were a lot of runny noses, coughing babies, and not much sleep going on. It made me very glad that we kept them in the house for so long and didn't get sick sooner!

The babies are teething right now. They are fussy, chewing on everything, and raking things across their gums. I'm just waiting for that first tooth to pop up!

They have gone to daycare for the first time now! I have taken them to the kids zone at the gym a couple of times and to the nursery at Highland for the first time last Sunday. It has been so nice to work out and it was great to hear an entire church service!

They have added a few more food to their menu. They now eat sweet potatoes, green beans, bananas and peaches. I haven't decided what we will try this weekend.

Now for the pictures...
Papa and Mimi went to Jamaica with Into all the World and brought back fun outfits:

Fun Visitors

We have had a lot of visitors around here lately. The babies got to meet one of their cousins for the first time! Rhonda and Garrett are in town visiting from California! We don't get to see them very often since they live so far away. We have tried to talk them into moving back to Texas multiple times, but they like California. We really want to go visit them sometime soon since I have never been to California!

Sawyer and Garrett

The babies with Aunt Rhonda (doesn't she look just like Jennifer??)

Last week Rachael and her sister got to come to town for work. The babes loved getting to see Rachael, they really miss seeing her every week. It is going to be really sad when the Office starts up again!!

Last weekend Robin came to town to visit! The babies were only a few weeks old the last time Robin was here, so they have changed quite a bit since then.
Robin also took a quick picture of the four of us while she was here!
Just random pictures from this past week...

Why does she have so much hair?

Why is mommy taking so many pictures of us?

Get out of here Mason, she wants to take pictures of me.

No, me.

Ha! And stay down there.

And here is our next adventure in baby food....

Just some pictures...

I will post again if we make the final 4 so that everyone can go vote for us!!

Yummy Sweet Potatoes

The babies had their first bites of baby food yesterday! They did really well with it too. Mason opened his mouth real big for the first bite. Sawyer made worried looks at first, but by the end was opening her mouth for bites. I bought some baby food cook books and am going to try to make most of their baby food. We will see how long that lasts though! It is supposed to be healthier and cheaper. And it's really not hard, just a little more time consuming.


Here are a few pictures of them playing from the past week:

Friends

Leslie and Amber have been my life savers since I had the babies. They have answered all of my many questions and they have let me come hang out anytime we want to get out of the house. They have watched my kids so I could meet with clients and let me borrow stuff that I need that their kids have grown out of. I think that I learn something new every time I hang out with them. It's so much fun because their kids are the kids mine will grow up playing with. Todd and Mason will be buds and Sawyer and Claire will be BFF. It is so much fun to watch these kids play together already. I am so blessed to have them in my life!
