Worst. Mommy. Ever.7 Months Old!

Seven. Months. Old.

Warning: This blog was written a month ago and is not a complete account of the boys' 7th month of life. Due to my extreme laziness and procrastination skills, I am JUST. NOW. posting their 6 month and 7 month blogs. I hope to get their 8 month post written and posted soon but please don't hold your breath. My ADD is in full swing these days and most days I am doing well to remember what month it is, let alone what the exact date is. I want to apologize in advance for any typos and/or errors in this post. I gave it a brief glance but did not proofread it closely.
_____________________________


It seems like the last month has absolutely flown by. It also seems like the boys have been growing and changing so much. I feel like I say that every month but it literally feels like every month that passes goes by even more quickly than the last. Its scary really. A lot has happened over the last month in our world. Hopefully I can get this post finished and posted in a much more timely manner than I did their 6 month post. Here goes!

UPDATE: The boys turned 8 months old today and I am just now posting this blog so it is a very incomplete and imperfect draft but I wasn't in the mood to "perfect" it. Oops.


This is the picture I posted earlier this week to my Instagram and Facebook accounts. Zach asked "Is that the best picture you got of the boys?" My reply? "Yes. Yes it is!" You try getting a good picture of TWO busy 7 month olds who weren't really in the mood to sit still and smile for Mommy.

Sanford Tate

Nickname: "San-fuuuuhd", "Brother", "Budder", "Goofy"
Weight: Haven't weighed since their 6 month appt.
Height/Length: ?

What have I been up to lately?
- I am goofy
- I make lots of silly faces
- I am a daredevil. I love to be thrown around and startled.
- I am really ticklish
- I sleep really hard. Sometimes Smith wakes up first and Mommy has to wake me up to eat. It usually takes me a few minutes to get good and awake and I usually have a crazy, confused look on my face.
- My hair has a mind of its own. Especially when I wake up. 
- I love to talk. I like to make really raspy, grunting noises.
- I drool…a lot.
- I hate packs but I love chewing on the legs of Wubanubs.
- I pretty much put everything in my mouth.
- I am constantly sticking my tongue out. Probably because I like to mess with my two bottom teeth.
- I have just recently started loving food. So far my favorites are bananas, avocados, and squash. Surprisingly I don't really care for sweet potatoes.
- I still love standing up.
- If you put me in the floor I am all over the place. I get up on my hands and knees and rock back and forth. I want to crawl so bad but haven't quite figured out how to go forward. I'm pretty good at scooting backwards.
- Mommy has been working with me on sitting up but I'm more interested in lunging for anything remotely within reach. 
- My head is always on a swivel. If someone is holding me one way I am either trying to look around them or I'm trying to turn around and look at everything behind me.
- I love things that crinkle.


Smith Taylor

Nickname: "Smiffy", "Smithy", "Tub-a-Tub", "Brudder"
Weight: Haven't weighed since 6 month appt.
Height/Length: ?

What have I been up to lately?
- I love to cuddle
- I am still very much a Momma's boy
- I love my puppies
- I love to eat. I haven't found anything I just don't like. I love sweet potatoes, squash, bananas, apple sauce, avocados, and pretty much anything else you put in my mouth.
- I still have grown-man-gas. Its pretty impressive.
- I love my Wubanub. Mommy and Daddy are hoping I don't have too much trouble when they eventually take it away from me but I don't understand why they would ever want to do such a thing.
- I am pretty good at sitting up but still a little clumsy. 
- I am going to be really sad when I can't use my swing anymore because I still love it.
-**Poor Smithy. Mommy didn't get a chance to put a whole lot of details on his list but also doesn't want to try to remember everything since a lot of it would just get confused with the 8th month of life. Sorry buddy.**

What have we been up to lately?
- We love to watch TV
- We love to jump in our jumperoo
- We walk all over the place in our walker. Mommy better start baby-proofing.
- Mommy finally got our baby monitor set up so now she and Daddy can watch us while we're in the bed. Sometimes we go right to sleep and sometimes we put up a bit of a fight. We're usually pretty willing to go down though. Sometimes we wake up and play sweetly with the few toys that they leave in our beds. Mommy says those are sweet mornings.
- We like to jam out to Pandora at bedtime
- We got our first colds this month. We are still kicking a little bit of a cough but haven't felt bad for a week or so.
- We went to Alabama a few weeks ago with Mommy and Daddy and while Daddy had to come back to work, we stayed with Mommy and took a vacation from life in Texas.

Worst. Mommy. Ever.
Hopefully I can get their 8th month post done and posted before their 1st birthday.
