The Glenn twins: 7 months

The month of food!  The doctor gave us the go ahead to start introducing food to y’all at our 6 month checkup.  We started with oatmeal cereal, just like we did for big sister.  You didn’t seem to love it, but you didn’t hate it either.  Although mama and daddy gave it to you for the first time, Weezie has been giving y’all your cereal during the day and she says y’all are doing great!  We also whipped up our first batch of homemade baby food the other night and gave y’all some sweet potatoes for the first time on Friday January 30.  You were both very interested, and MESSY;-)  I think bananas will be up next and then another veggie….maybe carrots or broccoli? 

Graham, you finally started rolling over right after you turned 6 months.  And you are slowly putting more weight on your legs!   Thomas, you seem about this close to sitting up by yourself, you have the tripod pose down pretty well.  In other BIG news this past month, you are both now swaddle free!!  A MUCH easier transition than I thought.  Thomas you did pretty amazing from the get go, and Graham once you figured out how to sleep on your stomach you have been amazing!  So proud of you guys. 

You are both officially in size 3 diapers and mostly 6 month clothing.  Still not much hair for either of you and no teeth yet.  (Although, Thomas you seem to be teething with all the drool you are producing!)

Typical schedule:

 

WAKE: 7-7:30 am, nurse

Might cat nap for 20- 30 minutes (in car) if week day

Cereal around 9:30

10: bottle, 5 oz

10:30-12 NAP 1 (T, you are generally always good for 1.5 hour nap….G, It’s up in the air….most naps are closer to 45 min/1 hour…although you did take a THREE hour nap for me yesterday!)

Play

1: bottle (nurse on weekends) In other big news (for me) … I have officially started weaning.  I went from nursing/pumping 6 times a day to 3 times a day over the past couple of weeks.  I plan to be completely done by the beginning of March.

Play

2-3:30/4: NAP 2

4: bottle (probably start introducing another food here soon)

6:30/7: bottle and food (sweet potatoes)

8:00: bath

8:30 nurse and BED

 

For the most part, you two are really good babies.  Thank you for that:-) Some nights one of you ( or both if we are really lucky….) can be pretty fussy for a while (somewhere between 6 and 8)…but it does seem as that is slowing down some too, the nights are getting fewer and fewer.  You’ve both been battling little colds and stuff and you both HATE to get your noses messed with…. But other than that y’all have been healthy.  I can’t believe y’all are OVER half a year old now….  We love you both more than words can ever say.  Thank you for making our family complete.










Xoxo,

Mama

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
