7 months and almost crawling!

So I've definitely been MIA from my blog recently. There's certainly been no shortage of things going on as of late, but things seem to be settling down...for now. (I hesitate to even say that...)

Good news is, Sofia and the boys are great! Despite a shaky start with pre-school, Sofia now looks forward to going, which is a relief. She's all about her new kitchen set, compliments of Patti Frisella and takes great pride in preparing me coffee, mac'n'cheese and pancakes.

David is commando crawling, probably a few weeks away from "real" crawling. I am not quite sure I'm ready to have mobile babies just yet, but I guess I don't have a choice in the matter. David is a bubbly mover and shaker, much like a little 2.5 yr old I know...William's nickname in the hospital was "McFlirty" and after seeing him bat his big, brown eyes and flash that huge smile it's not hard to see how he got that nickname. He is getting stronger every day, almost sitting up and his favorite activity is grabbing toys and playing with them.

David's favorite thing is to flail his arms and legs while on his tummy, kind of like a beached whale. We like to call it his "flipper" move. One of their favorite pastimes is stealing each other's binkies from their mouths. It's pretty fun to watch. They do on occasion wake up in the middle of the night, but for the most part sleep from 6:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Lots of sleep training paying off there...thank you Dr. Weissbluth and Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child - my bible.

We're gearing up for Halloween here. Sofia has decided she is scared to death of scarecrows, but is *all over* the whole "trick or treat" thing. She is going to be Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, ruby slippers and all. The boys will be a lion and a monkey.

The days are going by faster and faster and it just doesn't seem possible the the holidays are almost here. Pretty soon it'll be 2008...It's so true when they say that babyhood goes by in the blink of an eye. You just have to cherish every minute and that's what we are trying so hard to do.
