7 months


Ruby and Cora are 7 months old! We had a pediatricians appointment today. Both girls have gained about 1.5 lbs in the past month, they army crawl, and they grab everything they see. Cora thinks it’s funny to scratch people’s faces with her razor sharp talons, and Ruby thinks it’s funny when you react to pain. Weirdos. 

The best update is that they can now ride in the shopping cart, making grocery shopping 1,000 times easier. I used to wear one in a carrier and put the other one in her car seat in the basket. The one in the basket didn’t like being stuck in her car seat, and I couldn’t fit very many items in the basket. Today’s grocery shopping was much more enjoyable for everyone. 


Cora and Ruby have brought me so much joy and love. Being their mom is my greatest blessing!

Cora and Ruby were so excited for school to start today. They woke up extra early thing morning and came into my room with their uniforms already on. We made German pancakes for breakfast, during which Cora spilled some syrup on her shirt and had to change it, and rode bikes outside to burn off some extra energy.  I just dropped them off at the school! The high school football team was waiting outside the elementary school (the high school, middle school, and elementary school are all on the same campus and share a parking lot) and formed a human tunnel for the kids to run through while they shouted “welcome to school!” It was cute. Ruby and Cora both ran through went straight to class without a single tear or complaint. In fact they didn’t even turn around to wave goodbye 😢. Now it’s just Darcy and me at home all afternoon.

This past week has been full of summer time shenanigans. We’ve been going to library activities, parks, play dates, etc.  Cora and Ruby love all crafting opportunities, so it’s been a major theme lately.  The library started a program called “Messy Monday”, where they set up a messy activity at the park next door. That had our names written all over it. This week was painting. We painted rocks, banners, and our faces.  This pretty rose garden for some reason is also a big hit for my girls. They always want to walk through it when we have the chance.  Darcy loves having her big sisters around 24/7. She follows them everywhere and tries to do everything they’re doing. Sometimes they let her.  Today she came up to me with a very concerned face and sat on my lap. I asked her what was wrong and she pointed to her nose. I felt her nose, and could tell that one side was hard. Great. I was just telling Clayton the other day that she was going to be our kid that gets something stuck up there, b
