The feet again

Seriously, I do not know what it is with this girl.  Anyone else have a kid that does this?  She puts EVERYTHING between her feet!  We don't even have to hope she'll do it for the camera or for grandma & grandpa on skype, she just does it.  Hand her something and it goes between her feet.  She'll even take balls and roll them up and down between her feet.  Is this a sign she needs to be in soccer (Adam is not a fan, so he hopes not!) , I am hoping swimming!  

She now does it with her bottle, if there is anything left in it it will drip on her and she thinks it's hilarious.  She ALWAYS gets it upside down.   I don't understand.

Swing obsession

It amazed me what these kids will get obsessed with, lately it's been the swing.  So much so that we can't leave it where they can get to it.  They used to just push the seat to make it swing but now they try to crawl up into it to play with the latches, totally sketchy!  It's bad enough when it's one of them, but most of the time they BOTH try to do it!

And notice the pacifier Adella is holding?  That's Charlie's.  She actually won't take a pacifier but she LOVES to play with his and basically chew on all sides of it.   One day she woke up from her nap early so I brought her in the living room and Charlie was sleeping in the swing, well she crawled over, stopped the swing and pulled it out of his mouth.  Little stinker!

Stuck.. yes again

Seriously Charlie???

7 months!

We hit 7 months last week on August 28th!   It's been a fun and busy month learning lots of new tricks!

This picture (below) cracks me up, you would think they were teenagers asked to get their picture taken and are sooo annoyed by it!   

This month Charlie and Adella expanded their food options and ate pears, peas, peaches, avocado's (which Charlie hated so much he actually made himself gag to throw it up!), chicken and probably a few others I am forgetting!

They are both super active and have figured out how to crawl (or drag themselves) up the step in our living room.  They are pulling themselves up onto things like pillow, mommy, daddy and anything they can reach.  That also means we have dealt with lots of bumps on the head as they fall over off of these things.  And although we thought teeth were coming, they have not appeared yet!  I have been so happy though that the spitting up is much rarer now!

This little lady is a super army crawler, she hasn't quite figured out crawling on her knees yet, she will make one 'step' and then get stuck and drop back to her belly.  She does a little froggy hop though that's pretty cute.  She will also get up on all fours and rock back and forth.   She has a funny 'back crawl' too where she bounces on her back to move backwards; I don't know what that is all about but it's funny!  

She still likes music, I don't know if there are any true favorites but we still use Itsy Bitsy and Bingo to try to get her to settle down or stop going crazy when we try to change her.  She also does her back bounce thing on the changing table which makes for very interesting diaper changes!

We've been dealing with some sleep regression the last month with her, not exactly sure what is going on but we are trying to figure it out!  As of now there has been lots of late night snuggling which leads to mornings that are really hard to get up for!

This little guy is a full on crawler!  He started very shortly after he hit 6 months and is super quick!   He is an AWESOME sleeper!  We sometimes have to work a bit to get him to go to sleep at night, but once he is asleep he is good until 6:30 or so.  He still uses his pacifier but only for naps and falling asleep at night.  He doesn't even always need it for naps if he is tired enough.  He also likes music and has a super fun laugh especially when you tickle his belly and chest by blowing on them. 

He is very eager to explore and as I have posted about several times, gets himself stuck A LOT!!  I'm glad he has an eager mind though!  Charlie's funny thing is that he likes to stick his bum in the air and his head into the ground like an ostrich.  He does it ALL the time, not sure why but it's pretty funny!

We can't wait to see what tricks these guys will be up to this next month!!

Just Because

I tend to take a lot of pictures just because, I can't help it!  I know that as great as my memory may be, I will never be able to remember the fun little things these guys do, all their facial expressions and other mannerisms, so I take pictures to help me!

This is the face I almost always get from Adella when the camera comes out, big wide open grin!

My cousin got Adella this onsie and its so true!  You can't really see it but it says "I know REALLY CUTE, I get it all the time".  

I think I have mentioned before that Adella has an obsession with her feet, and sometimes the toys actually just get stuck there!
