Almost 7 Months

Thing 1 and Thing 2! (The above was NOT posed; Kipton rolled over and wrapped his arm around Coleson. Of course, he tried to bite Coleson's ear when he first rolled over, but that was beside the point ;)! )

I can't believe Thing 1 & Thing 2 are approaching 7 months!!! Before having the boys, I often wondered, how I would share my love, especially since I was an only child, but the simple truth is, it has been so easy. I love my children so much and love the fact that they are so different.

What's in a name? Bella (Mini) means beautiful and she is such a "beautiful mess," a little girl full of life and energy, which is infectious and can't help but put a smile on your face! She reminds me so much of Jimmy Buffet's song Little Miss Magic...she is our "Little Miss Magic." Kipton's middle name is William, named after Will obviously; both are laid back and just like to take things in stride. Coleson's middle name is Richard, named after my dad; my father was always quick to make jokes and make light of irrelevant situations, but just like me, had a slight temper, and surprisingly enough, Coleson seems to be the same way!

The boys are growing like weeds...Kipton was 15 lbs 12 oz and Coleson was 15 lbs 2 oz at their last well child visit. We have been frequenting the doctor's office as of late; between well-child visits, synagis shots for RSV, and cold/flu seasonal issues, we have been to the doctor's office more than our fair share! I joked with our dear friend who works at our pediatrician's office that we were single handily trying to work on getting her a raise with all of our visits, ha! Kipton has a tooth, and Coleson has 2 teeth that have now broken through the gums. Both boys are LOVING solid foods; at this point both have started rice/oatmeal cereal, vegetables, and fruits. Whenever they see a jar of food coming out, they get very excited. I hope to start making baby food soon, but I'm also being realistic in the fact that I have a lot going on and if I have to continue to buy food, then I will.

We are all doing well and very thankful for the life we live...it may be chaotic, but in the midst of chaos, we also can enjoy all of our blessings!
