March 2011

Hi, We're seven months old!

We've been doing a lot of growing and getting stronger this month! Christopher is now sixteen and a half pounds, and Katharine is thirteen pounds! We've had lots of fun playing in our gyms and exercising with Mommy and Daddy and spending time on our tummies.

We can push all the way up on our arms and look all around the room, which is a pretty neat perspective for us! We like to hold and touch things and move them around to see what they do. We can reach lots of things, and love to see how things feel by sticking them in our mouths. Christopher has even learned to do this with his feet!

We can roll from our backs to our tummies, and sometimes from our tummies to our backs. And we are starting to learn to roll over and over toward something we want to see closer.

And we love to play games with Mommy and Daddy! We like tickling games for our tummies, chins, and noses. And we like to practice sitting up and standing while Mommy and Daddy hold our hands. We're not quite ready to sit up yet, but love practicing it in our bumbo seats.

We've also been learning a lot about sleep! When we started turning over this month, we had to start to learn to sleep without our cozy sleepsacks. This has been challenging sometimes, but it is getting easier. Mommy and Daddy are great about helping us get back to sleep when we have trouble, and we're remembering to take naps during the day so we can be happy and have fun.

What a busy month we've had! And when we're not napping or exercising, we've been going on walks with Mommy and Daddy, on outings to the store or to playgroups, and just hanging out together. We're starting to really enjoy looking at each other and playing together. And sometimes it makes us sad when our brother or sister is sad!
