It is hard to believe that we are now parents of 3 – 8 month old babies! Another month has passed us by in the blink of an eye! We have enjoyed 2 trips up to the cabin over the last 3 weekends. So far we have found that Maddy and Mason are going to be the swimmers of the group, Dylan we aren’t so sure on (see pic below). We officially have 4 teeth in the house, 2 belong to Mason and the other 2 belong to Dylan, both on the bottom only. So far teething hasn’t been as bad as we were thinking it would be, but Maddy hasn’t had her turn yet. Just a lot of drooling and chewing on everything! We have now started 2 food feedings each day, which has brought us to an all new schedule yet again. Every morning the babies wake anytime between 6-6:45. They get their first bottle at 7 followed by cereal and a fruit at 8. They then nap from 9-10:30 and have a bottle again around 11. Nap again from 1-3, followed by a bottle. They take a short little cat nap from about 5:15-5:45, followed by supper and then the bed time bottle at 7:30. We truly have 3 very good eaters on our hands, as at supper they are going through 4+ jars. So far our favorites have been sweet potatoes, squash, and any of the fruits. Our least favorite has been peas by far. We also enjoyed another first holiday for the babies, the 4th of July! They dressed in red, white and blue to help celebrate the day of our independence. Unfortunately they didn’t stay up long enough to watch the fireworks, but hopefully in a few years that is something we can share with them =)
Mason James
Mason was the first of the 3 to get a tooth. It is a toss up between him and Dylan as to who will crawl first. Both boys are rocking back and forth on their hands and knees just working as hard as can be to figure out how to get that hand up and in front of the other. It won’t be long now before someone is on the move. We aren’t sure how we feel about that just yet =) Mason has become a lot more independent this last month, he loves to play peek-a-boo and be read too.
Dylan Patrick
Dylan continues to be our little monkey man, preferring to be in the standing position more than anything. For a while their we were thinking he would be going right from rolling around to walking, but I think he will be happy once he figures out the crawling thing and will really be on the go. It won’t be long now until we have to lower his crib down to the next level. We are counting down the days until he starts pulling himself up on things as well.
Madelynn Grace
Little Maddy has really found her voice over the last couple of weeks. It is so fun to hear her talking to her brothers every morning when we get them up. She also talks herself to sleep every night, which is so cute to listen too. She is still Kita’s number one fan, always breaking into a huge smile and coo-ing whenever she sees him.
Maddy and Dylan tubing at the cabin
We had a great time at our neighbors house for their twins’ Elin and Anders 1st birthday party. It gave us some insight as to what we have to look forward to in just 4 short months! It has been so great getting out of the house more often experiencing new things and sights with them. Whether it be a quick trip to Target, or a stroll around the block, it’s fun to see the babies reactions to the new surroundings.
We hope you are all enjoying your summer thus far and keeping cool on these very hot days!
Love always!
