7 months

Casen & Collins are 7 months old, and we are constantly surprised at how quickly they are growing up! Casen loves to watch his surroundings - especially while standing while we hold him up. He is even learning how to take steps while we hold his hands. He will be in to EVERYTHING once he figures out how to crawl, but for now he's content with rolling around on the floor. Something tells me baby-proofing is not far in our future, however! Collins is using her legs to bounce more in her activity center, but doesn't like to stand up yet. She enjoys cuddling & being carried around - this girl knows a good thing when she has it! I can't complain, though... she's awfully sweet to cuddle with :) Collins has another tooth coming in - this time a front tooth. Her new smile gives her such a different look!


Look who can hold up his own bottle now! What a big boy!


Collins loves to make surprise faces.

Collins loves to make noise & can often be found shaking her rattle with delight. They both enjoy playing with soft blocks - Casen especially loves to knock them over! They also love to watch themselves in the mirror. We had fun watching Casen one morning in the church nursery as he giggled repeatedly at his reflection in the crib.

1st Tooth

Casen & Collins are 7 months old. They're both rolling all over the place and Casen loves to stand up & jump in his activity center. They love cereal & baby foods now - avocados, green beans, & butternut squash are some of their favorites!
Collins has some exciting news to share... she got her first 2 teeth last week! She's such a trooper & hasn't even been fussy.


This weekend we got to go to Kingsland to visit their Aunt Suzy & Uncle Stu. We had a baby shower for their boy/girl twins - due in November. Suzy looks so cute with her pregnant belly!

I LOVE these moments!!! My snuggly baby boy!


Collins wore herself out & fell asleep in her activity center... time for a nap.
