The babies all loved their breakfast, which is good to hear because as we know, it is the most important meal of the day.
They must have required massive quantities of whatever it was that they ate.
Green Fingered
The McCaugheys had another idea for helping reduce their monthly expenditure. The family started to grow their own fruits and vegetables which were not only organic but free! Much cheaper than the supermarket equivalent.
These fresh fruits and vegetables were also available in their backyard it was so natural for them to pick and tend to. It helped reduce the cost of grocery shopping and was great for the environment. It's just a shame they couldn't have a cow too.
Check-Ups
Having just one baby takes a lot of care and attention, making sure that all seven babies are getting enough food and sleep as well as cleaning and changing the babies is a lot of work.
The babies also needed to go for regular check-ups with the doctor. Having seven babies checked at once takes a good chunk of time.
Cryptophasia
There was an unmistakable bond between all of the babies, and as they grew into toddlers, they started to create their own language.
This phenomenon is not unique to the McCaugheys and often happens between twins and triplets, or even siblings who are close in age. It is called cryptophasia, but the children also speak English.
Celebrating Birthdays
With each year as they reached another birthday, the family used it as an opportunity to celebrate the milestones of the septuplets.
It was also an opportunity to thank god for helping their babies and helped instill in the McCaugheys that they had made the right decision with keeping all of their babies. After all, looked at their amazing family.
