7 months and counting

I've been bad, I haven't taken any pictures of the boys since Christmas. Because Gray turned 7 months old yesterday I thought I better take a few pictures and jot down some funny things the boys are doing.

The poor thing is cutting his top front teeth and is getting his fourth tooth on the bottom. Have I mentioned I hate teething!
Today I took Gray in for his 6 month check up (just a month behind). It's always interesting when we go to the doctor's office. Mac hates it!!! When it's Mac's turn to go, Drew comes along and we literally have to hold him down just so the doctor can listen to his chest or check his ears. It's a nightmare when he gets shots.
This time when we walked into the room Mac covered his ears and said,"No, hurt ears, shots hurt." I explained that it's GG's appointment not his and we would need to cheer for GG. From then on Mac encouraged Gray saying "Good job GG. YAY GG. It's ok GG," and clapping after every exam. He was trying to be brave:) It was pretty cute. To top it off he kept calling the nurse Grandma and the doctor Grandpa. I think Mac is needing to see his own grandparents again.
Gray weighs 19 lbs. 12 oz.(70%), he's 29.6 inches long(95%) head circumference was 90%. PS I love how they call it "brain growth". It makes me feel better about having big headed babies:)

Showin some skin...
Gray now can sit by himself and is eating solids like a champ. We are in the process of getting him to sleep through the night. The last two nights we have let him cry. Last night was better, he only cried once for 2 1/2 hours. It's terrible but I couldn't take another night of multiple feedings and waking up between feedings to give him his binky and rocking him back to sleep. We are hoping for a peaceful night tonight. fingers crossed.
Mac update... He loves nursery now and asks to go daily. Which is the total opposite of just three weeks ago. I have been working out at the gym three times a week. Mac calls it church and the day care, nursery. It's a little confusing for the sitters. He is talking up a storm and has started tattling on me to Drew and vice versa. He started praying which melts my heart and even helps me with grocery shopping and putting away laundry. Well, kind of helps, lets just say he loves to throw:) We love our boys. Oh and I don't have any pictures of Mac cause he refuses to look at the camera. So all the pictures I have are of the back of his head.
