Eight Months and Four Cribs!

First of all Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! We hope you had a wonderful holiday and stuffed yourself with great food. We were able to enjoy time with both of our families, however we did put both of our families to work (besides feeding and changing diapers). My parents were the movers and Trevor parents along with Taylor were the painters. More details to come …

Twelve days ago the babies celebrated their 8 month birthday. They continue to do amazingly well. Nobody is officially crawling yet, but Oliver and Micah are great at the army crawl, Seth looks like a swimmer when he tries to get around (swimming on dry land doesn’t look very easy!) and Addilyn just rolls every where she wants to go. They have all started eating cereal, squash, and green beans. So far we are only feeding two babies at a time and we are really enjoying our new feeding schedule; Oatmeal at 7:30am, bottle at 9:30am, nap by 10, wake about 12pm, bottle at 1:00pm, nap at 2:00pm, wake about 3:30 – 4, rice cereal and vegetables at 4:30 – 5:00pm, bottle about 7:00pm, in bed for the night at 8pm. We still have to get to help them with their nuks, but it is getting better.

We finally have the babies in their own cribs. A while back Big Brother Taylor decided he would be willing to give up his big room downstairs, so the babies could have their own cribs. He was able to pick out his own paint for his room (originally he wanted red walls and a green ceiling) After some persuasion and compromise Taylor picked yellow and and red racing stripe for his new room. He will also be getting bunk beds in two weeks. We will add pictures of his room when the bunk beds arrive and we have everything put back together. Right now Taylor’s room is in our living room, so we will be glad to get him settled in his new big boy room!
