At 7 months, the boys are very different! They have completely different personalities, and look very different too! Hudson is happy, laid back, and loves to laugh. He is a snuggler, and kind of a lazy guy. :) Madden is a mover and a shaker, he's sweet, bouncy and lately, very fussy! Hudson has long, spikey hair and is a chubby guy. Madden's hair hasn't changed much since he was born, but he sports 2 teeth, unlike his brother.
On 9.11.10, Madden crawled for the first time!! He went just a few inches, but he actually crawled! He can get from one end of the room to the other in no time by 1/2 crawling and scooting. He pulls himself up to stand, and loves to do it when he's supposed to be sleeping! I've even caught him standing...chewing on his crib! UGH. Hudson doesn't move much. He's content wherever we sit him down, usually. Although when he's on his tummy, he does scoot himself backwards across the entire room.
You'd think now that the twins are 7 months, that we'd be getting some sleep. WRONG. Craig's been working a lot, which means he often goes in to work at 1:00am. That means he is really tired. And that also means I don't have help at night. Therefore, I am also very tired! The last week or so, Madden has gotten up at least 10 times a night. One night, he stayed up for 3 hours!! Hudson typically only gets up 2-3 times, and Miss Paisley....you never know with her. She gets up at least twice to go potty. In which she insists you "help" her. But apparently to her, helping means, sit there and watch her go potty. Don't touch her. Don't get the TP for her. Just wake up, walk to the bathroom, watch her go potty, bring her back to bed....and do it all again in a few hours. It's super fun.
(She would eat black olives day and night if you'd let her! She tries to get tricky, put them on her finger, eat one and say, "mom...I need another olive for my finger, I need 5." Cute little thing doesn't realize that I can see exactly what she's doing. You have to love her.)

This weekend, P and I built a fort. She begged to have a tv in in. No such luck for her, but I did let her eat breakfast in it.

For Madden, I'm contemplating the cry it out method soon...we did it with Paisley....but with another baby in the same room, it brings a whole new element into it! I'm giving it a couple of weeks and then I might have to bite the bullet...the whole household might have to! :)
Miss P has always given us a run for our money. I deserve it, I'm sure. However...the control that this girl tries to get over us is unbelievable! Last week one morning after screaming and stomping (from both of us)...I threatened to take her to Londa's in just her undies. (this was after a long struggle of getting dressed)...she followed me out to the car, naked and screaming, as I strapped the boys in. Just then, she gave in, and put some clothes on. I pray that her Independence is used in a positive manner when she is an adult. You can pray to if you want. :)
In addition to her manipulative ways...Paisley can write the letters, P, A, I, E and B. She's so close to getting her name, and she writes them really well! She loves counting, singing and most of all....DANCING! She asks to have "dance parties" almost every day. (yes, I am loving every single minute of it)
