7 Months Old!

We are 7 months old now, and getting bigger each and every day!



Here are some interesting facts about us:



Donny

- is crawling and can even pull himself up to standing!

- likes pretty much all (babyfood) fruits; especially loves sucking on cantaloupe!

- hates pretty much all babyfood veggies

- smiles easily and often

- has a very healthy appetite (can drink 6 oz. of milk after eating his fruits/veggies/cereal)

- is almost outgrowing his 6-9 months clothes

- is (still) very much a Mama's Boy (and that's ok by Mama!)



Liv

- cannot yet crawl, but is VERY vocal (she can say Mamamamama!)

- likes pretty much any kind of (baby)food, but LOVES corn on the cob and cantaloupe the best

- always smiles at everyone, and even does this face where she crinkles her nose and breaths heavy, kind of like a snorting bull. (It is ABSOLUTELY adorable!)

- still has a dainty appetite (will drink usually no more than 4 oz. in a sitting), but loves to try to feed herself with the spoon

- can still fit into all of her 3-6 months clothes

- gets told she looks just like her mama all the time

- is a little more independent that her brother, but is still Mama's Girl



Their personalities are very much developed now, and it seems that Olivia is going to be the joker; the rascal. Donovan, we think, will be more of the quiet one.

Creepy Crawlers!

So, we've gone and come back from a 3-week-long visit to Grandma and Grandpa's in Virginia. Daddy has (finally!) finished O.C.S, and we are happily back at home. Still working on getting back on our nap/bedtime schedule, but otherwise doing great!

The babies have started eating baby food now and Little Donny is even crawling! Well, kind of... its more of a creep/crawl. He will wiggle a few inches, and then he'll crawl a few more, and then he'll get back down on his tummy and wiggle again. It really is precious.

As far as the food goes, the babies' first food was ... mango! They've sucked on other foods (such as cantaloupe [which they LOVE, by the way], corn and peaches) but mango was their first real pureed food. A few days later, they had green beans (to which Drama Queen Baby Donny made himself gag on and eventually vomit back up), but Liv didn't seem to have an opinion on them; she just ate them. She didn't make an ucky face, but she didn't really ask for more either.

In a few days, the babies will be 7 months old and we're going to get their 6-month photos taken a little late (due to the photographer's schedule).

Stay tuned! :)
