It seems like the day they turned 7 months old things started to change. Last Monday Blake got his first tooth (another tear shed). It is so cute but it really means that he is growing up. Jack also started really crawling, like one leg one foot crawling. He hasn't figured out that he can do it for long periods of time though, which isn't a bad thing. Jack is also starting to pull himself up and trying to stand. He looks more like a tripod since he isn't quite getting his hiney underneath his torso. This means the crib is getting moved to it's lowest setting. Ugh.
Here are a few other little tidbits:
-both boys are wearing size 4 diapers. Blake is even leaking out of those at night.
-they LOVE Buster, they get a huge smile on their face when he comes around
-they love Puffs and are doing a better job of getting them in their mouths all by themselves
-they can sit up for very long periods of time
-they sat in a high chair at a restaurant for the first time a couple of weeks ago
-they LOVE each other. They play (Jack crawls on top of Blake) with each other, look at each other and laugh with each other. The cutest is when they are in their Jumperoos and they just look at each other, laugh and jump
-they are sleeping from 7pm until 8am. :)
-they are both holding their own bottles
-the spit up is improving dramatically but the drool is not
-two days before Christmas I had to take Blake to the doctor but we weighed both boys; Blake was 17 lbs. 15 oz. and Jack was 17lbs. 5oz.
-they are both starting to get a lot of hair; Blake is blond like his mama and Jack is brunette like his daddy
-both have found their voices and are talking all the time
-they are both happy babies, we can just look at them and smile and they will smile back; it warms my heart
We are just so blessed to have such healthy boys that are doing so well. Watching them grow every day is just amazing. It blows my mind how every day is different as they are learning so much! Here are a few pictures of their milestones and just them being cute.
Blake's first tooth.
Can you see it poking through?
The first time Jack pulled himself up.
I went in to get the boys up from a nap to find this.
Look what I can do Mommy!
Getting big is fun!

They love being close so they can look at each other.
Sweet brothers.
Hey I know you!
Give me some sugar!
Yep, we are cute!

What adorable little boys who are getting so big! For the nighttime leakage you may want to try the Huggies overnight diapers. Hudson would constantly leak out of his Pampers at night...but the Huggies overnights solved the problem :)
Kim! Jack is going to be walking in no time! My nephew, Reid, was a very mobile little boy just like Jack and he was walking at 9 months! I bet Jack will be doing the same ;-) He seems like a very self-motivated little boy...much like his mama! Every time I read your blog I think to myself "oh, if only we lived closer" :-( Oh well, so fun keeping up with you guys on here!
p.s. I had the same problem with Presley and her leaking...I posted help on facebook and everyone told me to do nighttime diapers (huggies or pampers) and go one size bigger. Presley wears size 3 in the daytime and at night she wears Pampers 1overnights size 4...havent had a problem since!
I love that you have a blog too, it is fun reading about your boys because they are so close in age to my little boy (one month - mine was born on June 24th)! I saw the link on your Facebook page :).
