Lauren's Getting so Big!

Lauren was 7 months last week and is turning into a little kid before our eyes! She's sitting all on her own now.

 And we had her in a highchair at a restaurant for the first time last weekend down in Rock Hall, MD.

 And yesterday she rode in the Kelty backpack for the first time. We hiked through Wissahickon and she just hung out, taking in all of the nature around her. This was also the first hike that we've done where we didn't have to carry Sophie for part of it. Before we know it they'll be be running along side of us!

Sitting on her own

Last week Sophie was finally able to sit on her own (at 5 1/2 months). Aside from standing (with assistance) it's now her new favorite thing to do.

It also allows her to get very up close and personal with Benson. She still isn't his favorite person, but they're warming up to each other. It's a start at least...
