(September 27-October 27)
Kyle
and Tyler started sitting on their own this month, eating solids
(purees), and are happy boys! When we put them down on their backs,
they immediately flip onto their bellies. They spin around in
circles on their bellies, playing with toys. They get up on their
hands and knees and rock back and forth. Kyle started doing this
first and does it more often than Tyler. Kyle also sticks his arms
straight out and kicks his legs – only his belly touches the floor.
He constantly turns over on the changing table now too. They are
sitting up better every day. We put the boppys around them to
support them and cushion any falls. Kyle also started doing a fake
cough for attention and his cry sounded like “dada” a few times.
Tyler likes to slap his hand on things – the table, a book, almost
anything. Future drummer? It's really cute. Tyler sometimes pants like a dog and screams really loud when he's excited.

| We went to Ikea and Kyle used a high chair for the first time and loved it! |

We
took the boys to Highland Orchards one evening to get photos with
pumpkins.
Even
in just one month...they change so much and are doing new things or
improving their skills. We started food when they turned 6 months
old. Tyler didn't like it the first few times but after about a week
or so – he was a pro. Kyle loved eating from the beginning.
Oct 5: We separated the twins for the first time. I went to a friend's baby shower and grocery store with Tyler, and Sean went to Buffalo Wild Wings with Kyle and then to Ryne's to watch football. It felt so weird to only have ONE baby but it was SO much easier!
Oct 9: Our friends from church who moved to CA last summer were in town We got to hang out and have all of our babies together for the first time! It was so special!
Oct. 12: We went to Kerr Park for the first time.

Now
that it is getting colder and they have outgrown their swaddles, we
just switched to sleep sacks. Having their arms free does help because they can put their pacifiers in their own mouths. Recently, Kyle has preferred sleeping
on his side. He will fall asleep on his left side, pacifier in
mouth. It's SO cute. He is usually on his belly in the morning. Tyler likes to sleep on his back and will often
watch himself in his crib mirror until he falls asleep.
Oct
21: The boys had their first bath in the bath tub (not kitchen sink)
when Nana and Pappy were here. I have since used the infant tub in
the bath tub to give them baths one at a time. They like to splash
in the water.
My sister and her husband had a Harvest party so we dressed the boys up in their costumes. Charlie Brown and Linus. :)
We are also SUPER excited that they will be getting a new cousin in February and my niece Josie will be a big sister!!
We
are absolutely loving this stage (and have loved every stage)! They
are rolling, sitting up, eating, playing (and not too mobile yet) and
are just so much fun! :)
At 7 months old, Kyle weighed 16 lbs, and Tyler weighed 14 lbs 12 oz.
