The Twins Are 8 Months Old Today

I can't believe how time has flown this year. It all seems like a blurr. I can't believe Emily and Elizabeth are 8 months old already. Emily Celia

*Sleeps through the night, but very difficult to get to sleep. She would rather wiggle and screech.

*Wild sleeper. It is impossible to keep a blanket on top of her.

*Has one bottom tooth.

*Is in size 12 months clothes. Size 4 diapers. (The outfit she is wearing is what Abigail wore at her 1st birthday party.)

*Very Strong. She makes me tired when I hold her because I am constantly fighting a wiggly baby.

*Knows how to babble, but she prefers screeching as her form of communication.

*Loves to blow bubbles and raspberries.

*Plays with toys; she will sit in her playpen and play for 20 minutes without complaining.

*Tries to crawl. She pushes herself backwards as her means of transportation. She hasn't quite figured out the forward motion yet.

*She bangs her head into the floor when she gets mad or frustrated.

*Tries to pull herself up, but she can't stand yet.

*Puts anything and everything in her mouth that she can get her hands on.

*Likes puffs and mum mums (food)

*Very cautious about new people.


Elizabeth Claire

*Still wakes up at least once in the night, but pretty easy to get to sleep, I just lay her down with a pacifier or her bottle if she is hungry and she falls asleep.

*Has two bottom teeth.

*In size 9 months clothes. Size 3 diapers.

*My cuddly baby. She loves to be cuddled and loved all day long, which can sometimes pose as a problem for mom.

*Babbles saying, "dadada, bababa, mamama"

*Silly girl. She loves to laugh at anything.

*Plays with toys, but doesn't like to be left in her play pen very long.

*Not too interested in crawling, she prefers sitting over being on her stomach. She rolls as her mode of transportation.

*She throws herself backwards when she gets mad or frustrated.

*She loves to sleep with a blanket covering her eyes, just like Abigail.

*Puts anything and everything in her mouth that she can get her hands on.

*She loves to rip and tear magazines and newspaper.

*Very friendly.

*She loves baby food.

Your girls are the cutest. I love that ya'll went to Bear World. we drove by there all the time but we never went. It sounds cool. too bad Abigail didn't see a buffalo or a raccoon... so sad... she only saw a bunch of bear and a moose. How funny. I bet she loves preschool. Oh... I just saw your post that you lost my phone number. it's 208-964-3279. Thanks for remembering my birthday.
