Seven months... happy days!

These babies are growing up too fast!  But we are loving the new things that Lilibeth, West and Jack can do!  It's very cliche, but we really do love them more every day!

Here is our month in pics... it's been busy getting to know more of our family and friends... we have loved it!

A big "thank you" to Jeffie, Pat, Jerry and Cheryl for your help with the Sip and See.  Thanks to all of you who came to visit the babies.  We had so much fun!

Lilibeth dances with her Daddy.

Lilibeth and her Aunt Bev

B and Lilibeth

Warner Cousins!

This was too funny!  I was on the floor taking the pics of the cousins and Klint grabbed the camera from me.  He thought the really funny part was the adults looking like total jokers trying to get all of these kids to look at the camera!

West loves his monkey... but the great news is that we said "adios" to the Tucker slings and monitors this month... freedom!

We love the Run About.  Everyone would get a good view on our walks if our sun hats did not cover our faces!

Sweet Baby Walker with his Daddy

A surprise visit from the Gist girls!  I babysat Emma when she was a baby.  How OLD am I?!?

West to Steve:  "Hey, buddy... I hear your next stop is Disney.  Can I tag along?"

So happy to meet Marsha!  Pics of our cool new ride to come!

Ummm... we're playing.  No photos, please.

Six Months Old... today!

Unbelievable!

Here is a day in the life of Lilibeth, Jack and West at 6 months old....

Warm those bottles... and brew strong coffee!

Wake up around 7 a.m. for one of our favorite times of the day... Bottle # 1 of 5!

This girl wakes up grinning and laughing at her Daddy... so sweet.
I am only slightly jealous that he is BY FAR her favorite!

First, a diaper change...

Finally!  It's been a long 12.5 hours!

Playtime with Daddy

Morning Nap

Making bottles for the day

Playtime with Mama

Sometimes stripping down to a diaper makes everyone happy.
Just a little tacky change 'o pace.

Bottle # 2 of 5

Morning walk around the neighborhood

Swing time

This is the goal while Mama and her friends eat lunch.
I would not like to report how often we do not meet expectations in this area.

Or not

Sometimes we decide it would be more fun to join mama and her friends at the table while they eat lunch.  Jack is eating Sophie the GIraffe... YUM-O!

Lilibeth loves lunching with the ladies... we're working on preparing for our first visit to the Whistle Stop.
I do not think sitting on the table will be allowed in the tea room!

Bottle # 3 of 5

Talking until we are sleepy...

Afternoon Na (it would be called a "nap" if we ever finished it... but mama says 30-45 minutes on a good day cannot legally be called a "nap").

Notice that there is only one baby still asleep at the "end" of naptime!

Ben making our new food... We are eating apples, bananas, pears, carrots, avocado and rice cereal!

Keeping things under control until....

These babies think "tummy time" is considered optional.
By the time I turn around to get the camera, someone has always rolled over!

Bottle # 4 of 5

Sometimes, we are still hungry!

Checking out our neighborhood in the afternoon

Playing in our dueling exersaucers

Bathtime

With the addition of solids to our diet, we are now de-stickifying (bathing) every day

Evening entertainment

Don't cry... Look at your new dress!

Notice all of their faces.  Adults very tired, children are super grumpsters...
DO NOT PANIC... we have almost made it!

Nighttime bottle... with solids!

Apple and Bananas with rice cereal.  West knows that he is advanced and has convinced Fancy that he is fully capable of feeding himself.  Just a side note... I have found that if you are short on mortar when bricking a house, apples and bananas mixed with rice cereal will serve as a viable option.

Sweet babies... Klint and I love watching our babies sleep... and thanking God for six months of parenthood.

Happy "half-birthday" to West, Jack and Lilibeth.  

Mama and Daddy love you more than we could ever say!
