Kate and Lily are 7 months (30 weeks)

We're officially at the 7 month mark. Lots of new things have been going on with the girls and they are so happy and curious right now. We started eating solids at 6 months and the girls are just now starting to enjoy eating. So far I've made all their baby food and it's so easy and even tastes good! We've had sweet potatoes, bananas and avocados. Unfortunately the avocados were not a hit and they're supposed to be the brain food. I'll try them again next week. Next on the menu is pears and peaches. Yum.

Lily has been crawling for a few weeks and she is into everything. Her favorite discovery is the dog water bowl. She loves to stick her hand in it and then lick the water off her hand. Gross. She also started sitting up last week. I mean straight up. Another first for Lily!

Kate has mastered a one arm scoot. She drags herself throughout the house using her right arm. It's pretty funny to watch. I'm convinced she knows how to crawl. I've seen her go a few feet the traditional way, but I think she gets around faster with this one arm so that's the route she has chosen.

It looks like our girls are going to keep their gorgeous, bright blue eyes. Most babies eye color changes as they grow but by 6 months their permanent eye color should be set. I LOVE their electric blue eyes! It also looks like we might have a couple of brunettes. Their hair is slowly but surely growing in and it looks like it's going to be light brown. Both girls like to feel their hair, especially when they're sleepy.

They are both very happy babies, sleep very well and we are very lucky that they are so healthy.

 Look how far we've come. They look more and more alike each month. Gigi made this fun collage. Love it!
