7 Months....time gone by so fast....

The twins are more fun than ever.  Thier individual personalities are reallly showing through and we couldn't love each one more. 

Emma is always happy, very interested in the whole world around her, energetic, alert and just recently started crawling (6 months 3 weeks, same as Cole).  She makes a funny scream when she laughs.  She loves baths and starts splashing as soon as the water!  Emma loves to eat but still refuses to hold her bottle.  She was a slower eater than her brother, but now she is the better eater.  Loving every kind of solid food given to her - bananas, avocado, squash, sweet potato, carrots, rice and oatmeal cereal.  Today she even sucked in the green beans!  No teeth yet.  Petite little thing compared to her brother.  But she loves to chew on everything around her.  She wakes up happy and can always make me smile.

Chase is such a fun and cuddly guy.   He is so much bigger than Emma that we think he is big.  He is the best cuddler, and loves to be hugged.  He is slower to smile, but when he does, he makes you melt.  I am smiling right now thinking about his smile!  He is a bit more laid back and yet not at the same time.  Chase loves his bath too, but he likes to sit back, relax and just enjoy the nice water.  He reminds me of an older man who wants to just slip into a hot tub and relax after a long days work.  Chase got his first tooth a few days before he turned 7 months old.  He did it without breaking a sweat or even a slight indication that he was teething (aside from the gumming and drooling!)
