Photo dump and update

She is really into babies right now (that's the head of her fave baby doll in the lower left hand corner)

Just made this dress for Zaphira
Arr matey! Zanthias is REALLY into pirates right now.
Baking bread.

Sorry for the delay-here's what we've been doing all month! We've been trying to get outside a lot more. We've started a garden, complete with what (we hope) will be a pea tepee with flowering groundcover inside for the kids to play in.
He has added some new words-water, bye poo, super Z, and robot.
Zaphira is walking faster and faster and will soon be running, I'm sure. She is trying to talk, and has made her first two signs (milk and more) Drew has been super busy at work, getting home late and having late calls every night =( The kids and I have been going on lots of playdates and excursions.
We were going to have Zanthias in a preschool program this summer, but the teacher fell through, so we're poking around to see what classes and things are available. We were all sick for a couple of weeks, but finally feeling better.

7 months!

How old is baby? 7 months! (tomorrow)

What new things has baby been doing? He said mama last week, his first word, which was awesome. He also says "boom" when he is going to fart (I don't know if it's a coincidence, but he does it almost every time) so we call his farts "boom boom". He still is loving standing and sitting. He has rolled over a few more times, but no interest in crawling yet. He loves to pull out Daddy's chest hair as he pulls to stand up and to keep steady.

How are they eating/sleeping? We've tried a few foods, avocado, banana, celery (just long pieces to chew on, not eat) and yogurt. He hates them all, except yogurt-and the yogurt gave him the butt/ball rash from hell, so no more yogurt! Still loving his breastmilkcicles and the boob.
Sleeping is okay, still can't get many naps off me, and he sleeps from 11 or 12 at night to 7 or 8 in the morning, waking up a few times to eat.

Any Dr. Appointments since your last update and how did they go? We had his 6 month WBV and he was 28 lb 9 1/2 oz and 27 3/4". Still WAY off the chart for weight and really high for height. The ped was impressed with his sitting ability. Still not a fan of shots, though the DTaP didn't cause it's usual problems (super fussy, no sleep, crying) so I was happy.
