7 Months~ WOW!!

On Monday the boys turned 7 months old! I spent a lot of the day reflecting on the last 7 months and going back and looking at all their pictures, let's just say I was a little weepy ;) I don't have any new pictures uploaded yet but I do have a few minutes to write, so I thought I would take advantage of that.

Evan: The BRUTE! He is such a big boy and has recovered wonderfully. Besides the scars on his belly you would never know the battle for his life that he went through. (As an update, Simply Thick is still under investigation for it's link to causing NEC in preemies, so nothing to report yet: Simply Thick Update from the FDA ) Evan gives the biggest, cheekiest grins all day long. His legs kick nonstop, sometimes with his little brothers as casualties! He prefers to spend most of his time on his belly these days, but no crawling yet. He is great with his hands~ always grabbing toys or putting paci in and out of his mouth.

Payton: Our little peanut! He is about 2 pounds lighter than his bro's, and I can't stand it! I am use to chubby bubbie baby boys so this is hard for me :) He just doesn't like to drink his bottles. While his brothers take down 7-8oz, he tires after 4-6oz. He is loving the baby food these days though so I give him as much fruit/veggies/rice/oats as he wants. He is the cleanest eater too, barely needs a bib- I love it! He is such a sweetie and loves to hold on to you tight, so hard to put him down sometimes. He also loves to "grab" his brothers and have any type of contact with them that they will allow. He is definitely a morning person, and gets very tired by the end of the day but refuses to fall asleep- silly boy. We're working on it.

Riley: Such a squirrel! The "tiny" "Baby C" has sailed through the last 7 months with a mischievous grin on his face. He is still the most inquisitive and full of joy, but boy can he let you know when he's not happy! He loves to stand and be in the jumper. He is doing great with his bottles and the baby food and catching up to Evan in weight and was even longer than him at our last check! He looooves his hands, but not his brothers- he can get MAD when they are in his space too much (Ahem, Payton!)

These boys are about to switch to size 3 diapers and are into 9 month clothes now! It's hard to believe that September is coming. In September the boys are going to their 1st wedding. Uncle Danny and Haley are getting married on 9-10-11 at Lake Metigoshe. Brody is a ring bearer with his cousin, Drey. Let's hope they make it down the aisle together ;) Luckily weddings are filled with lots of people so hopefully we shouldn't have a problem having the trips well taken care of since Ben and I are both in the wedding party. Although I am kinda second-guessing the high heels I got to wear ;)
