Happy 7 Month Birthday!


Hmmmm, not a lot has changed since last month, but this month we:

-Graduated from infant carriers to regular car seats...and retired the snap-n-go...sniff
-Celebrated Striker's first Father's Day
-Started wearing "big boy" jammies aka those without feet
-Finally really started growing hair...Alex will be needing a cut soon on his mohawk
-Love eating their baby food...they are much bigger fans of veggies than fruit, but are getting better at tolerating the fruits.
-Spent lots of time in the pool...thanks KFuj and Grandma!
-Started riding in carts and sitting in high chairs because both are good sitters!
-Spent more time at Disneyland and went on Small World for the first time
-Spent lots of time chewing on fingers...both theirs and mine...they are not fans of teething aids, but fingers are magic.
-Watched Striker play hockey
-Played with the "A Team" at the annual picnic
-Searched for MLB Mickeys
-Found Shades to be completely hysterical...he's now required to attend all photo sessions
-Laughed regularly at the furries...were they not a constant source of entertainment, I might kick them out most days
-Started moving so well that they must absolutely be strapped in or on the floor in a secure area to be left alone for just a minute
-Celebrated our first Independence Day
-Started "talking" to each other and playing together...though playing sometimes looks like hitting or kicking

Alex:
Alex is quite the talker and pretty much makes all of the ba, da, ga, ma, sounds. He laughs and smiles all the time, but almost NEVER for the camera. Sigh. He was a huge fan of the NBA playoffs, though it pained me to watch more than the last 5 minutes of any game. He has his regular "outside face" whenever we are outside, but smiles and laughs all the time when inside. He has been committed to becoming mobile since our multiples playdate at the beginning of the month (he got to watch our neighbor twin girlfriends who just started crawling), but has really made progress in the last week or so...crawling can't be too far off. Yikes! Alex just barely hit 23 pounds...thankfully he has started stretching and slowed down on the weight gain so my poor arms can get a break! He can wear 18 month clothes without a problem and still squeezes into 12 month clothes. Poor guy continues to drool and chew his fingers like crazy, but still hasn't cut a tooth.

Tony:
Tony was sad when NHL playoffs ended, but is quite happy watching World Cup. (BTW, when did I start watching so many sports?!) He is such a good sleeper! He naps like clockwork and falls to sleep easily and often times on his own. While not a fan of trying to crawl, he does rock and scoot himself where he wants to go. He cut his 2 bottom teeth this month...YAY!!! Such a big boy, and relatively painless. Tony is right at 21 pounds and wears 12 month clothes, though 18 month stuff isn't exactly big.

Have I mentioned that I love these boys?! ;)

Regular car seats???? Do you mean front facing? And if so, isn't it against the law?
