8 Month Update!


We have been so busy the past 2 weeks. I have tried to start to update, and then can never finish. We have a lot going on. We are getting ready for company over the next few weeks, I have a good friend's baby shower, supper club at our house....and lots more! I try to get most of the house work done while the boys are napping and then run errands when they are awake. QUICK errands! They love getting out and about, and are so good! It takes us longer than I would like because I always have to change at least 2 diapers when I am out, even though I change it RIGHT before we leave...never fails... :) Life with twins...double the fun...double the diapers...

The boys are at a GREAT age!! They are keeping me so busy! They both have really become vocal!! They are talking to one another and Spencer laughs at Shepherd all the time! Sometimes I think they have a contest to see who can be the loudest! Cracks me up! They really are going to be great friends!

We don't go to the doctor again till 9 months. But here are some updates...

Shepherd
-has one tooth, and one on the way
-loves to show his tooth when he laughs
- laughing (more like panting) all the time
-has hair over his ears...Daddy wants to cut it...NO WAY!
-pulls his bottle out during feeding and laughs
-thinks it is playtime after his nighttime bottle
-waves with both arms (while shaking his whole body)
-doesn't like to be on tummy for very long, will roll when HE wants to
-would rather stand than sit
-examines toys, trying to figure out how they work
-kicks his legs all the time


Spencer
-rolls and scoots anywhere he wants to go
-belly laughs at his brother
-doesn't like to nap for very long
-very attached to his paci and mommy
-sucks on his elephant's nose (his lovie)
-copies Shepherd
-waves with both arms while squealing
-smiles all the time
-gives WET kisses and plays with your hair
-shakes every toy, even the ones that don't rattle
-a little uncertain of strangers

Here are a few pictures from the past couple of weeks...

Lets play football!

Sometimes it is easier for me to bath the boys in the sink if we are getting our baths during the morning. THEY LOVE IT!
Shep playing in the water

Sweet Shep! See all the water on the wall behind him? He wasn't very calm for long!

Spence LOVED it!

Splashing!!


I love my finds at garage sales! I got these 2 swings for a $1 and we put them in the garage! The boys love them! It is going to be great when it is too cold to go outside!

Hey Jan,

Loved all the pictures! You have been busy! They babies are so much fun..so happy all the time. I still laugh eveytime I think about Spence belly laughing at Shep ...when Shep was actually only sitting there...but Spence still thought he was so funny! So glad you are documenting all of this...makes it so special to go back and read it all later! Love you,
Mom
