7 months!

On Tuesday, the girls turned 7 months old, it really doesn't seem possible.  I was fortunate to have this past week off of work for Spring Break so I was able to spend the week at home with John and the girls.  Both girls continue to grow stronger each day and are both very aware of their surroundings.  They love to watch Porter and sometimes even give him a screeching yell.  They are very "talkative" these days.

Claire

Claire still hasn't decided to start enjoying her bottles yet.  She is still inconsistent with eating most days.  But she seems to be gaining weight when we weigh her at home.  We think she weighs about 12 pounds.  They have a check-up next Monday so we will get a more accurate measurement then.  Claire loves sleeping on her belly and chewing on her fingers.  She rolls from side to side easily and sleeps 6-7 hours each night.  Dad has to wake her to eat in the morning. She continues to have an easy going temperament and loves to smile and show off her dimples, or maybe we just love to see her smile!  The physical therapist decided that she will see her every other week instead of every week, which is a good sign!

Caroline

Caroline on the other hand LOVES to eat.  We estimate her weight to be close to 14.5 pounds.  She is getting better at using her hands to grasp, pinch, and scratch.  She even showed us yesterday that she could sit up on her own for a bit!  She sleeps through the night also, but is usually the first one up and ready to eat each morning.  She too loves to have her hands in her mouth.
