8 months and growing...

8 Month Checklist:

Sleeping through the night? Yes

Rolling over? Yes

Eating solid foods? Yes

Getting teeth? Yes

Talking all the time? Yes

The boys have gotten so big and everyday is like a new day with them learning something new. This past month has been a big one for Keegan. He has gotten his first tooth. Had his bed lowered and is now sleeping on his tummy. He is also rolling over and able to get toys he couldn't get before. Charlie is a rockin machine! You can tell he just wants to go. When you hold him he rocks back and forth. Once on the floor he will barrel roll all over the place. Charlie's acid reflux seems to be under control, he no longer takes Zantac. Both boys love to eat! They can polish off their oatmeal no problem! The boys also love to eat bananas.

Keegan is a total Daddy's boy. He loves his Daddy and attached to his hip. Bedtime used to be easy. You would put Keegan in his bed and he would go to sleep. Now, Keegan wants out once you place him in his crib and Daddy takes him downstairs to watch TV. Keegan will just sit there and not make a sound. Occasionally he will look up at his Daddy with a big smile on his face.

Charlie is like a little puppy. He loves to whine and be squeaky like a puppy. He loves to put his feet on everything and push. Should be any day that Charlie will be crawling. He gets in the position but just doesn't know what to do next. Charlie loves when his Mommy comes home from work. Cathy walks through the door and Charlie gets the biggest smile on his face.

These past 8 months have been a blessing. We could not imagine a day without our two little boys!

Then a WWE fight broke out!

Feeding time at the zoo.

We have now started to give the boys a sippy cup full of water to have them practice drinking on their own. As you can see on Keegans face he loves the idea. I'm a big boy now!

Mmmmm...

Still needs help! :(

A 3 Hour Tour

We broke out some of the boys summer clothes now that its starting to get warmer outside. It appears some of the clothes are a little too small. As you can see here, Charlie's head is a little too big for his hat. I think he looks like Gillian.

Hey little Buddy!!!

I guess that would make me the Skipper.

God Bless Texas

We miss our families in Texas!

Hopefully we will get to see them soon!

Hurricane Charlie

Here you see the boys playing in their little activity gym. Plenty of things hang down for the boys to play with. Charlie loves to put his feet on the rails and push. Well Hurricane Charlie blew through and destroyed and collapsed the activity gym onto the both of them.

Crazy little boy!

Our Neighbors Crappy Yard!

Here is a picture on our neighbors crappy yard. Makes me sick even to look at it. I think last year he mowed maybe twice. His stupid dandelions have made their way into my yard. Just had to post this pic, because I am so mad!
