7 Months Already!!!

I swear, I blinked and it's now December! Sorry for such a looooooong period of nothingness. Everybody's here, healthy, alive, and okay. I think I just got distracted by all the daily tasks and let the updating of the blog slide. I can't believe it's been so long since I posted!

Well, the girls are almost 7 months old. How time flies. They are doing great. Lots of smiles and laughs. It's amazing how different they really are. When I think "twins" I always used to think "the same" which I've since learned is not true at all. The best description I've heard about fraternal twins is "siblings that happened to be born at the same time". Oh how true that is.

The girls are now eating solids once a day. They LOVE sweet potatoes, squash, pears, and carrots, but: peas and green beans....NO THANK YOU! Noelle is SO close to crawling, she scoots a lot and rocks back and forth on all fours. Every day I hope to look over and see her first crawl. Kaira, however....oh sweet Kaira. Don't put her on her tummy...don't even try it! While she has become more tolerant of it lately, she will usually immediately roll onto her back and stay there.

Kaira enjoys peek-a-boo and "dog-bunny" (dog-bunny is a small white stuffed bunny that likes to play peek-a-boo with Kaira and says "woof" when he surprises her...because really, what sound does a bunny make?!?!) while Noelle is fascinated with the lights on the computer and my cell phone.

No teeth yet but we know they're on their way....or at least that's what I attribute any fussiness to! :-) They're still sleeping great, about 13 hours a night.

In other news, we will start our house hunt in January. We are so excited and can't wait to start looking! It seems like half the fun.

Here are just a few pictures for now and I promise to be better about updating the blog in the future so my faithful 4 or 5 readers won't think I've abandoned them! :-)
