7 months old {Alex}

{Here was Claire at 7 months}
I can't believe Claire was crawling at 5 months, and standing up on her own at 7 months, and walking at 8.5 months. Thank you Alex for being normal and more chill!  Makes my life easier.

Life is so great with my little family.  Serious big props to Alex for sleeping 12 hours straight the last WEEK.  And we're finally on a good predictable schedule, which is what I'm all about.

Look at this sweet little face:

A few weeks ago, Alex peed through his diaper so I threw him in the sink to do a quick wash.  

Before I knew it, Claire was naked and climbing up onto the counters (yes, she can get on them without a stool) because she wanted to join him. 

LOVE this picture. Hate that Alex is so out of focus (that's what you get when it is literally a split-second moment).

This was a very cute moment... until she announced she needed to potty but it was too late... so then it was upstairs to the big bath for both of them.

So... the next day, my perfectionist self wanted another pic just like this but with Alex in focus.  So I re-inacted it and here's what we got:

Nice try. But first one is better. Love that her eyes are green hazel and his are pure blue.  Anyways--more blog posts to come!
