7 months old!

I guess there is no point in apologizing all the time for not posting very often anymore, since it seems to happen every time. I probably wont' be consistently posting until after we move at the end of the month or next month.

The holidays were nice. The girls of course were clueless, but they did receive some nice gifts. Each grandma made the girls an ornament. I decided those would suffice as their "first Christmas" ornaments since I was having a heck of a time trying to find ones to buy for them. And, they are more meaningful than some store bought one anyway.

The girls turned 7 months old on the 26th. I can't believe we are only 5 months away from their first birthday already. Time did go really slow at first, and maybe the holidays helped a little, but now it's going super fast.

They are both doing push ups and sometimes trying to get up on their knees, so I'm sure crawling isn't too far away now. They both manage to scoot a little while on their bellies too. I can't seem to ever witness it, but they are definitely in a different spot sometimes when I turn around. Natalie constantly rolls from her back to her belly, then after a while gets tired and just cries. I don't know why she won't roll back. I roll her back and she flips back to her belly. Silly girl. Kaitlyn rolls from side to side the most. She will occasionally roll herself on her belly and will also roll to her back, but not nearly as often as Natalie.

We're bringing them both in to the doctor's office this week to get weighed. Natalie I think has really packed on the pounds, so we'll see how she measures up. We'll have Katie weighed too just because we're curious :0)

I decided they can just wait until their 9 month appointment to get the shot the nurse forgot. I'm still really bothered by that and will make sure we bring it up again while we're there. I also want to see if I can ask the doctor about trying to switch Katie back to regular formula. Since Similac had their recall on the tubs of soy a while back they have not gotten them back on the shelves. So we've been buying the premixed and the small cans of powder. It works out to about $200/month just for Katie. I'm thinking maybe her digestive system has matured since she was an infant and might be able to tolerate it now...hopefully...

Kaitlyn sat up by herself for the first time last night. I was bending down to put her in her bouncy seat and she didn't sit back. Finding Nemo was on and she just sat up and watched it for a long time. It was super cute. I got a lot of pictures. She also reached up for me too for the first time yesterday. Made me feel good :0)

Still no teeth for either of them, although I think Natalie is getting close. On the 23rd we went to see Santa and when we got home Natalie came down with a fever of 101*. It went away after she took a nap and kind of went up and down for the next day or so then she was back to normal. The only other thing during that time was that she was slightly congested, but no runny nose. I'm chalking it up to teething, but who knows.

I think that's about all the updates for now.

Happy New Year all!!!
