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.

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.
