8 months old and couldnt be any cuter or happier. Last month they decided to start sleeping through the night, so generous. They typically sleep 730-730. Hallelujah. They each have their own little accomplishment, can't leave anyone out. Charlee girl is the first to crawl! She does it so well on her hands and knees and everything. She's been crawling/scooting backwards for a few weeks now, both have actually and as of last Saturday the 7th of July she figured out the forward motion. Despite all my attempts to discourage mobility. I was hoping to move first! Baby proofing and packing are not a great mix. But it makes me so happy to see their progression. And she couldn't be any prouder of her sweet self. AND Bear gets to be the first to sport a tooth. I'm pleasantly surprised that he hasn't even been that cranky. He is handling those sharp lil suckers like a champ! They are so funny. We wake up and immediately after we are fed we go on a walk. It has been ONE HOT SUMMER so the sooner we get to it the better. They usually don't make a peep or hardly move, it's hilarious. They just take it all in. They love when we get out to play in the grass and on the swings. Being winter babies it took us a while to get used to outside. Bear says babababa and mamamama and on the extremely rare occasion dadada. And Sucks in to laugh. His cousin jax says its not a normal noise for a baby to make, aunt Cam says he sounds like the grudge. Either way it is adorable and music to mommys ears:)
Charlee Loves soft Blankies and rocking and sounds like a car alarm when she's mad. We call her the charlarm. She does this adorable head tilt ALWAYS accompanied by Her heart melting smile. She doesn't know how to be adorable at all;) She's learning to mimic sounds and hold her own bottle. They are addicted to baby mums, they are rice crackers that dissolve quickly, I wonder what they put in those things but I am very grateful for them. That is the only way we get through church. We just shove food in their mouths and they behave. Or they are content to sit on the floor and play with toys and each other. Coveted toys at our house include: empty milk container, red solo cup, wipes container, empty wrappers, lotion tubes, laundry, tupper ware, moms necklace, moms hair....the list goes on. But of course all you moms know, the best toy in the room is the one in your siblings hand. I love watching them play and interact and laugh at each other. Every time they reach for each other, or smile at each other it just kills me! Love you sweet babies!!
