7 Months Old!

January 17, 2014

Devyn and Kinley are seven months old today! Where does the time go? I can't believe how far these two have come!

                               almost 12 weeks old                                         7 months old

 The photo on the left is the day Devyn came home from the hospital. I put the girls down on the changing table to get a side-by-side photo (Devyn on right weighing 7 lbs. 12 oz., Kinley on left weighing approx. 6 lbs. 10 oz.). Today, I tried it again. These two little chunks don't even fit side-by-side anymore! In today's photo Kinley is on the right weighing 14 lbs. 9 oz. and Devyn, on the left, weighs around 16 lbs. 3 oz.

It seems like every day brings new discoveries and accomplishments. Devyn is rolling over consistently now (her first time was the day after her 1/2 birthday). As soon as you put her on her back she rolls over, and starts screaming once she's on her tummy because she doesn't like it. Kinley, on the other hand, is still working on it. She has rolled over twice from her tummy to her back.

The girls have recently noticed the TV and both LOVE watching their Baby Einstein videos. Mommy loves them too because Einstein time means Mom can wash dishes or make dinner!

TV time. Don't remember why Devyn has no clothes on!?!?

Devyn and Kinley continue to be excellent sleepers! Both girls sleep through the night....and then some! We're working on getting them into their cribs for sleeping. We've moved them into their own room, but haven't made it into the cribs yet. They still sleep in the Rock 'N Play sleepers.

"Go away Mom!"  -Devyn

 

Devyn continues to be our Sleeping Beauty. She loves to take one or two long naps during the day while Kinley prefers short catnaps here and there. In this photo I had tried to wake Devyn up....but this is all I got out of her. I'm already envisioning a teenage Devyn rolling over in bed to ignore her mother who's trying to wake her up!

The solid food adventure is still underway. Kinley has become somewhat more agreeable to eating her rice cereal. Devyn, however, has learned she can avoid the chore by refusing to open her mouth.

Our most recent blessing is the nanny we found to come watch the girls while we are at work. Her name is Lily and the girls love her! It is wonderful to come home everyday to two happy baby girls! Here are a couple pics Lily took this week:

 Devyn loves football, just like Dad.
