7 month old video and update (a little late!)

Caroline and Macie playing in their new living room. Both girls are starting to move - Caroline scoots backwards and rocks on her hands and knees and Macie scoots forwards or does the backstroke across the floor. They both sit up like champs! Caroline now has 2 teeth and Macie just got her first one a few days ago. Macie has waved a few times recently, too. They sit across from each other and have long conversations and laugh a lot! (Sometimes, they're talking when I go in to get them in the mornings). They eat food - some actually gets swallowed now and they love having a high chair. Caroline still outweighs Macie by about 1.5lbs (15lbs and 16.5lbs, respectively) and at Macie's heart check-up this week, the doctor said she's doing fine and we'll talk about taking her off her beta-blocker medicine in the next few months. Hopefully, by then, she'll have resolution of her tachycardia (high heart rate) that was so scary in utero. It's much less scary in babies and kids - just something we need to keep and eye out for and then treat if it returns. They are just so much fun to hang out with and we can't imagine what the last 5 months of their first year will bring!
