8 Months Young!

This post is a day late but I was too busy having one of the best days/weekends ever! No work, no track and alll babies & family time! It was pretty amazing! 

It makes me yearn for summertime where weekends don't matter and Andrew is off everyday. I'm hoping to only work 3 12s in the summer so we shall see! 

It's been a crazy, awesome, beautiful ride this past 8 months. It's beyond anything I imagined. I'm so in love with these girls. I can't deal with their cuteness most days. 

My Ellie Bellie, 


Your personality it's the best! You smile at anything and everything. You are one of the happiest babies I have ever seen. You love everything, especially your momma! You are one determined little girl. You have mastered crawling, but army crawling gets you around faster! You go everywhere! You have climbed up 3 stairs, you are pulling yourself up on everything and have actually taken a few steps holding onto the chaise. You walk behind a walker and were really going far last night. We took you both swinging and you LOVED, which I'm not surprised because you are such a dare devil. You approach everything with an intense look in your eye and you will accomplish whatever you set out do to. Aunt Neena calls you a baby sloth because you go slow to make sure you don't fall. If you do fall, you do it gracefully (most of the time). 

You don't really sleep through the night. I'm praying it will happen overnight. You sleep until about 530ish, if you would give me 1-1.5 more hours is be okay with getting up at 7.. You are teething, you got your first & second tooth this month!!! So you have been a little more crazy about your binky at night! Sometimes you wake up screaming, or kicking and we have to rock you to sleep, last night. It took 2 hours. I cried a little tear with you out of exhaustion! 

You love to crawl, you love your jumpy, you love your momma, daddy, and cousin Kay! You love to pull yourself up, and take a few steps holding on, you have started walking behind a walker, you still love Violet the puppy, you love paper plates, plastic cups, remote controls and cell phones, anything you aren't supposed to have. You LOVE to eat- you love your bottle and get jealous when sissy is drinking hers. You love all foods except peas. I think your favorites are veggies, especially sweet potatoes, squash and carrots! You get excited when I bring out the high chairs to eat! You aren't a fan of drinking out of your sippy, except to chew on or bang on the high chair! You have been saying "mama" and what sounds like "bye bye". You have started to clap! It's the cutest thing! You clap and actually make sound! You love when I sing to you- you are my sunshine is your favorite! Your physical therapist said you are very advanced for your age! We are so proud of everything you have done and accomplished! Mommy loves you to the moon and back!! 

My Bri Bri, 


You are our drama queen but in the best way possible! You are such a sweetheart and love to cuddle, but you upset quickly! Momma, daddy cuddles or a bottle calms you down pretty quick! You have the sweetest smile, it's a sly smile, the cutest grin! It melts hearts for sure! You don't seem to care to do anything but sit. Lately, you have been wanting to stand, aka we have to stand you up and hold you because you can't even hold on and stand up. Your legs are like jelly, but that doesn't matter to you! You sit so well we could leave you to play all day. You love toys! Especially things you aren't supposed to have, remotes, cups, plates, and cell phones. You still love all your toys, especially Violet and the front of the walker. You also love empty or full bags of wipes! We took you girls swinging and you didn't much care for it. You wear your emotions pretty vividly and we know what your feeling happy or sad all the time. You recently started watching TV and you LOVE Micky Mouse Clubhouse. The first song catches for attention and the "Hot Dog" song is your favorite! No matter what you are doing- you stop, stare at the TV or ipad and start rocking back and forth "talking". We have it set on DVR so we play it back when you get cranky! 

Sometimes you sleep through the night, sometimes you don't. You have had a runny nose and I think you are cutting your 3rd tooth, but you won't let us look at it! You usually get up around 5/530/6 to eat! And go back to sleep. You sleep flat on your back and sometimes have been turning on your side lately. We have switched your supplemental formula and now you scarf it down with the breastmilk now! You love to eat! As soon as you see me get the high chairs out- you start waving your hands in the air in excitement!! You love sweet potatoes, squash and carrots the most, veggies are yor favorite- minus peas. You have new saying "mama" for months and just learned to say "dada" a few days ago! You have also just started to clap a few days ago and it's so cute! You get so expected when you do and you squeal!! You love when we sing to you! No matter the song but your favorite is you are my sunshine!! We can't wait to see you crawl and walk and watch everything you do!! We love you to the moon and back baby girl!
