It has been too long!

Well, it has been way too long since my last post! Cooper and Griffin are officially 7 months old today and Brody turned 4 on Sept 21st.

Brody is attending Bluebird Christian Preschool 4 days a week. He is also playing soccer at the YMCA. He is growing like a weed! At his 4 year well check, he weighed 44 1/2 lbs and was 43 1/2 inches tall. He spent most of the summer going out with Papaw on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Tuesdays, they would go to the "jar with cookies", also known as the Cookie Jar, for a doughnut and then to the flea market. He loves going to Papaw's house and they usually went to Mac N Donalds, also known as McDonald's, for lunch. He also likes to play with his neighborhood friends Brooklyn and Mason.

Cooper rolls all over the place. He gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth. I am really thinking he will be crawling soon! He can also sit up by himself since about 2 weeks ago. Cooper weighed in at 20lb 7 oz at his 6 month well check and he was 28 inches long. He has his 2 bottom teeth and is working on his top two. This has made for some rough nights over the past week.

Griffin can roll, but he gets stuck on his back and then gets mad! He gets up on all fours but then straightens his legs and does a face plant! He also can sit up by himself since about 3 weeks ago. Griffin weighed in at 20lb 1oz at his 6 month well check and he was 28 1/2 inches long. He also has his 2 bottom teeth and one of his top teeth popped through last Saturday.

We hosted Todd's grandmother, Mary's, 80th birthday dinner in July. Aunt Kathy and Uncle Curt came in from Memphis, Todd's cousin Kyle and his wife Lauren came in from Atlanta, and the Reardon's were in from Minnesota. Kyle and Lauren stayed at our house and it was so great to spend time with them. It was their first time meeting Cooper and Griffin. I guess we didn't scare them too much, because they are expecting their first baby in March. They were a huge help getting everything ready for the dinner. An extra set of hands is always appreciated! Todd's other cousin Chris, his wife Aida, and their son Grayson weren't able to make it. We can't wait to get the chance to see them very soon! Grayson is about 5 weeks older than the twins, so they will be great buddies when they get older.

We went on vacation with my entire family the first week of August. It was such a great time! The kids had a blast spending the week together...going to the beach and playing in the pool. We even went out to dinner a few times, which is no small feat with 8 adults and 9 kids.

Todd's mom, Linda, and John got married this past Saturday. It was a small, but beautiful ceremony at their house. John's son, Bryan, left for Ft Hood on Sunday, so it was wonderful that he could be there for the celebration.

I will work on posting some pictures from our summer soon!
