Update on the kiddos

Kahlia:

I've officially hit the 7 month mark! This means that I am on the downward slope to the delivery. I'm now considered to be in my 3rd trimester. This last week she has really grown a lot. My stomach feels stretched to the max. here is what http://www.babycenter.com/ has to say about this week of pregnancy

By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

I've just started to feel her hiccup. I remember Thomas used to get them at least once a day. I've started using my kick card but she moves ALL the time so it doesn't take very long to get to 10 counts.

Most days October seems so far away and I wish I could just have her here. Plus I don't know how 5 more pounds are going to fit in this belly :)

Thomas:

He has gotten great on his feet and has now started to run. When he gets really excited he puts both hands up to the sky and runs with the biggest smile on his face. He babbles all time. Most of the time it sounds like he's saying "busy bee" or "yabba dabba doo" He can understand most things when I speak to him. Its so nice to finally be able to communicate with him. He says "up" and "ball" very clearly. And for the first time this week he said "ba-bye". He just recently mastered the shape sorter. If I show him where to put the shape, he can put it in the hole by himself. Thats his favorite new game.
