Hutch 7 Months

                                                 
Hutch is now 7 months old! He's closer to a year old than he is to birth. Time has been flying by with him!

He is now 15.5lbs and 25 inches. He's still small for height and weight, but he is on track and has been doing great with all his milestones. 

He has been sleeping soooo much better!! He's been sleeping 12-13 hours every night, goes to bed by 6:30/7 and gets up around 7:30. It has been so nice to get a full nights sleep, except for about 5 times a week when one of the twins wakes up in the middle of the night because "I need to go potty" or "my blankets fell off the bed" or "I have a booger". So at this rate I'll be getting a full nights sleep when all the kids have moved out. 

Hutch has been eating more solid foods, he loves bananas, applesauce, oatmeal and cream of wheat. He loves when Matt feeds him and seems to gobble it up (compared to him spitting half of it out when I feed him). 

He still loves bath time and splashing around. He is now preferring to sit up verses laying in the bath. The boys always want to join him when they see him taking a bath. 

We had a really fun busy Christmas season. 

Hutch enjoyed his first Christmas and played with the wrapping paper. He kind of seemed in shock and just watched the boys go crazy with all their presents. And I failed and didn't get any good pictures on Christmas morning. 

The twins loved Christmas and got a good haul. Their favorite present changes each day, but they both loved the presents they picked out for each other (twin thinking?). Their least favorite presents were probably the ones from us, although they still acted excited when they opened the 10th present full of clothes. haha. 

We were able to go to so many fun Christmas parties with each side of the family and it was so fun to get together with everyone. 

They got these Christmas head bands at the Johansen party and loved them. They played games with all the cousins in the gym and were so sad when it was time to leave. 

We celebrated the Kirk Christmas the week after Christmas and we jam packed the weekend with tons of fun! 

Aunt Alissa crocheted all the grandkids little monster hats. All the kids looked so adorable in the hats! Alissa worked so hard on them!

We remembered Ashton with yellow socks and had a dance party in his honor. The boys call their yellow socks their "Ashton socks". They loved dancing around to the fun music with glow sticks. It was a fun night. 

Aunt Brittney gave all the kids for Christmas a trip to the aquarium. We all had a blast! Jameson loved the sharks the most and Carter said he loved when he hit his head on the glass the most (He cried about it until we made Daddy hit his head and then Carter thought it was hilarious).

Hutch got lots of attention from everyone and was content and sweet the whole day. He even loved the 3D glasses. 

This last Sunday the twins graduated from nursery and headed to primary!! It didn't go as planned and they were scared. Matt sat with them for the first 15 mins, then Jameson came out crying and only went back to class when they offered him candy. ha. So we are hoping next week will be a little easier. They are so brave and will do great! 

We are really excited for 2018 and all the fun things we have planned!
