Trick or Treat!

Hello again everyone! I can’t believe it has been a month since I have posted a blog. Everything is going really well here. The babies are now seven months and continue to do well. We don’t have anyone crawling yet, but Micah and Oliver are so close. Oliver is great at doing the Army crawl and Micah loves to get on his hands and knees and rock back and forth or straighten his legs and stand on his head. All of them have figured out some way to roll or scoot to get anything in the room that they set their eyes on. It is getting difficult to leave them alone on the floor as they are rolling into and over each other while pulling ears, hair, and scratching. It can be quite funny to watch, but I am sure it will only get more crazy. Micah loves to steal nuks from anyone he can, even it he already has one or two in his possession. We now call him Mischievous Micah.

We had a great Halloween with our friends. Everyone got dressed up and we even took the babies around the neighborhood being it was a beautiful night.

Taylor is doing amazing. He loves to interact with the babies. This morning Addilyn, Seth, and Micah woke up first so we brought them down to feed. Trevor and I were in the middle of feeding when Oliver woke up. Taylor said he would go check on him. When we went up to get Oliver we found Taylor had unswaddled Oliver, brought the stool next to the crib and was standing on the stool reading a book to Oliver. What a wonderful big brother! Taylor is also learning so many new things a preschool. Just the other evening we were sitting at the dinner table and Taylor recited the entire Pledge of Allegiance to us. We had no clue he had been learning that. He is a very fast learner and we are very proud parents.

Here are some pictures from the last month. Enjoy and thanks again for following this journey with us.

We have had a wonderful fall to play outside. Taylor’s favorite thing this year was to ride his bike down our hill into the leaves rather than jump into them.
