8 Months Old

2 days ago C and L turned 8 months old (6 months adjusted) and today M and I have our 4 year wedding anniversary.  Lots of things to celebrate around here!
In other news:
  • Boys are both learning to army crawl - very fun to watch but scares me because we have not started baby proofing yet. 
  • Both have figured out the sippy cup, but still enjoy eating from a bottle.
  • Both love to roll over and sleep on their belly. Sometimes when I walk in the room in the morning, I find them both on their bellies, holding head up and smiling at me.
  • LOVE their bouncy seats. We just now raised them both a little, so the boys can touch the ground with just their tippy toes. We don't want them to jump OUT of the seats. :)
  • Carter wants to crawl so bad that he gets on his belly and makes swimming motion very very fast with his arms and legs. Looks like he is swimming in invisible water. Its usually accompanied by loud giggles.
  • Both of them tried almost all stage 1 and some stage 2 fruit and veggies. This weekend, I plan to try and give them egg yolks for the first time.
  • Logan is finally 3rd percentile by weight (unadjusted)! Slowly getting on that chart! Yea!
  • When they play with toys, Carter tends to take Logan's very often. He already does not like to share... oh boy, we are just getting started!
  • Poor little guys had their first very mild cold (I got them sick) last week for just 2 days. And now they are just fine, but their noses are stuffed up and they can't breathe while eating. So, feedings are very stressful - choking and crying because hungry.  Can't wait for them to get better!!!
  • This weekend we plan to take our first family portraits.
