7 months old.

I am both happy and sad today.  Happy because my babies are 7 months old and they are overall very healthy preemies but sad because June 7, 2010 is getting farther and farther away.  We are not closer to the first birthday than we are from BIRTHday.  I know that this is part of it and that it is only going to continue but I LOVE them so much it hurts.  I adore the phase that they are in and have been having so much fun with them.

Oh Mr. Cullen.  You have the best giggle I've ever heard and you share it often...with Mommy.  You are very stingy with your smiles, laughs and conversations with others but definitely have eyes for me.  You are now sleeping for about 10 hours a night.  Woo hoo!  Mom and Dad are very grateful!  You are eating about 6 ounces 5 times a day and are wearing 3-6 month clothes.  I still try to put you in a few of your 3 month outfits that are too cute...I will continue to do it while I can get away with it!  You still don't really care for a pacifier and that is fine with us.  You will take it sometimes when you are quite tired but it is a rare occasion.  You love to watch your gloworm when you go to sleep.  You are very active and love being on your tummy.  You are also a champ at sitting in your Bumbo chair and love to play with your toys on the tray.  You even hang out with Mommy while she blow dries her hair or cooks.  You are putting your hands in your mouth quite often and chewing on your fingers...I love it!  You and Presley are starting to notice one another more and more everyday.  If you all lay next to each other we will sometimes find you all holding hands...priceless.  You adore your bath time and playing peek-a-boo.  You also grab your puppies and they don't seem to mind much.  You are slow to wake up like your Mommy and love to be read to.  It might be because Mommy's so animated!  You are wonderful in public but prefer to be out of your car seat to check things out.  You had your very first Christmas and even though you didn't quite know what was going on you were very spoiled!  You are rolling from your back to your tummy and in the past few days we've found you on your tummy in your crib!  So smart!  You are going to physical therapy twice a week to work on hitting those developmental milestones and you are doing a wonderful job...you love Miss Penny!  You do wonderful with "strangers" and love being held.  You are my chunky love, my snuggle bear, Cullen Grey, Chicken, & Cullen bear....

Sweet Presley.  You are ALL smiles ALL the time.  It is a rare moment that you are unhappy!  You are also a giggler now but you are more reserved with your voice but when it comes boy does it ever!!  You have quite the volume on you and it is always very random!  We love hearing it and have yet to capture it on video because we never know when you're going to talk to us! You are eating about 5 ounces 5 times a day and are sleeping for about 10 hours a night.  You are taking 4 naps a day and are wearing 0-3 month clothes.  You still aren't fond of being on your tummy for more than about one minute but we are persistent!  You love your pacifier and love to watch your gloworm when you go to sleep.  You will also sit in your Bumbo chair for a bit and have business meetings with your brother.  You are pulling bibs and blankets up over your face.  You enjoy peek-a-boo and have so much fun in your bath.  You're figuring out how to splash.  You always pull your legs up and tuck your legs to roll from side to side.  You are going to OT once a week to hit your developmental milestones and make sure that your eating consistently.  You are particular and definitely know what you want...a girl after my own heart!  You stick out your tounge quite a bit and we're keeping an eye on it.  You are noticing your brother and smile at him often.  You love to be read to!  You are my Miss P, Presley P, Presley Joe, Tiny tot, Nugget, Fighter, Hoodini, & Tater tot...
