We've got a tooth!

Yep, our little Caroline cut her first tooth. We noticed it Sunday evening - bottom right little toofer sticking out. We knew it was coming because both of them have all the signs - excessive drooling, sucking/gnawing on anything they can get their little hands on, fussy a lot, etc. I'm guessing Liv will get her first one too any day now.

Okay, so you can't see anything in this picture, but it is there! Getting a clear picture of this is no easy feat. Attempting to make a 7 month old hold still and keep her mouth open and lip pulled down for more than 2 seconds?? Forget it. I'll try again when the tooth is all the way out.

And the girls tonight before bedtime bottles

And since we're on the subject of the Bears, here's a little flashback fun from the late 80's of Rob.

Go Bears!

Today the girls made their first trip to Soldier's Field, home of the Chicago Bears - their daddy's all time favorite sports team - for the Bears Expo. Rob didn't think they were ready for tail-gating until next season, so this would have to do for the time being. It was nice to get out and do something as a family and the girls behaved pretty well. Of course we had to have at least one little anecdote to make the trip memorable... Liners poo'd her pants 3 times while we were there. 3 times! And so today I officially became one of those moms who just whips their kid's pants off right there in public and changes their pooey diaper for all to see. Oh well.

Some pictures from the day:

7 Months Old!

Our big girls are 7 months exactly today. They are growing and changing so much every day, and we are loving every second with our little love bugs. I'll have to get a 7 month picture of them together this weekend.

"Baababaabaabaa!"

Caroline said her first word tonight! She was in a pretty good mood after eating her peas and rice cereal and was very talkative. All of sudden she said "Baba!" (we always refer to her bottle as "baba"). She kept saying it over and over again. Does that count? I think so! We tried to capture it on video:

The girlies just being cute in their pj's

I love this one. Liv and her Great-Grandpa.

Growin like weeds

How do you know when your child has outgrown an article of clothing?...

.....when their big toe busts out of it.

I thought those pj's were getting a little tight on Livi. :)
