7 Months Old and Im in Denial

It's Sunday December 4 and my babies are 7 months old. How did this happen? Where have my teeny tiny babies gone?  I think it is even weirder that they have been home for five months. Maybe that is why it is still so weird to me that they are seven months old.  Slow down teeny tinies. Mommy is not ready for you to grow up!

During your seventh month we did a lot of fun things. Including:

• we went to your NICU follow up with the Developmental pediatrician. Both of you did really well scoring between 4-5 months for everything. I was really happy. We go back in March!
• We had your first Thanksgiving.
• Emma had her first and hopefully last ambulance ride
• We went to the pulmonologist. Levi your asthma is seems to be finally getting under control and you only need the breathing treatments every now and then.
• Emma went shopping with mommy
• We played with Aunt Jill lots of times
• Nonny and Poppy Butch visited
• We had your six month shots. Ouch

Some 7 month facts:
