Nearing The 7th Month

By Chris Studer

I've been told that I don't blog enough about my twin boys. Those people are probably right. So here it goes. (Maguire's the one on the left in the picture. Alex is the one on the right. Not that you couldn't figure that out from the first sentence. Sorry.)

So, we're closing in on 7 months already with Alex and Maguire, and it gets more interesting every day. The newest development is crawling. Alex has it down, and flies across the floor. The kid can barely sit up by himself, but he can cruise like a little missile across the carpet. I've had him watching the Olympics. Maybe he'll be a gold medal sprinter. Then I can retire on his endorsements.

The crawling doesn't come without its hazards though. We had a little incident the other day when he plopped down a couple of stairs. He was scared, but mostly unscathed. It was a good reminder to mom and dad that baby gates are a necessity now. The game has definitely changed.

Maguire's not crawling just yet, but you can tell he's jealous every time his brother takes off. He gives him a longing look as if to say, "Seriously...I need to learn that. It looks like a good time." But we're not rushing him into it. One mobile baby is enough for now. We're easing into it.

But on a serious note, they bring more and more joy to our lives every single day. No matter how bad of a day I have, I'll see a pair of little faces smiling at me and it all goes away. It's not easy, but it's been a blast. It's incredible how fast the time can pass, so we're just enjoying every second of it.

I'll try and make my baby posts a little closer together next time...so to those people...and you know who you are...sorry!

Im a twin and your twin is your best friend as well as your hardest critic. Now that I am no longer a child and we both have girls it is fun to see the trouble they can get into. I love my daughter but on days like that I am thankful there is only one of her.
