7 Months and Oh-So-Sweet

My angels turned 7 months yesterday.  This year is going by entirely too fast and I'm finding myself scrambling to enjoy every little moment!  It's so bittersweet seeing my babies grow.  The new things are so exciting and fun but I desperately miss the days when they'd sleep constantly, balled up in the fetal position on my chest.

I realize just how lucky I am and just how spoiled I am and I'm pretty sure Heavenly Father has blessed me with the most wonderfully mild-mannered babies.  It's probably all a plot to keep me having more.

Their little personalities are starting to emerge and I love picking out little differences.  For the most part, they're very similar and take turns being the fussier or calmer one.  I think Pearl is starting to be the sassier of the two.  She has more extreme moods--serene and serious one moment and feisty and hyper the next.  Eloise is pretty even-keeled.  She is always happy and quick to give the biggest smiles.  Pearl loves sticking out her tongue and blowing raspberries.  She also learned to click her tongue recently and loves to copy me when I do it.  Eloise is slightly plumper and just recently passed Pearl up in height.

When things get overwhelming, I amaze myself by multitasking like a madwoman.  Our potential rises with our responsibility.  All we have to do is commit.

Pearl, Eloise.
