8 Months Old!

Ok, so seriously we only have 4 more months until they turn ONE?! Where has the time gone!! It is crazy to me how much they have changed. They are developing the cutest little (well actually big) personalities and relationships with each other and Patrick and I. They are such happy babies, we are so lucky! They are doing great with food and are really starting to enjoy solids. They always liked it but now they seem to actually be eating most of it. The BLW is working!


Declan


Honestly, where have my babies gone?! He looks so big here! Declan is starting to get more hair and it is coming in blonde. Definitely not a hint of red in his or his brother's hair anymore. He is quite the mellow child but can be very loud! He loves to cuddle and be held. Hes become quite the little mover and is quick! He now has 2 teeth!

Weight and Length: Somewhere around 18-19 pounds.

Eating: He nurses about 5 times a day, and sometimes a few small snacks. He eats two meals of solids, breakfast and dinner and maybe a little snack in the middle.

Sleep: Still our best sleeper. He sleeps from about 8 pm to 7 am every night and takes 2 long 1.5-2 hour naps during the day with a 30 minute cat nap half the time.

Clothes Sizes: He is in mostly 9 month size especially in pants.

Favorite Things: Bath time is a winner and he loves being outside. His favorite things are anything he can put in his mouth! He also loves music.

Least Favorite ThingsDiaper changes are the devil and he also is starting to hate the carseat. We are going to transition them soon.

Milestones: Crawling, and pulling up to stand!

Owen


Look at him standing!! He was so proud of himself. Owen was the first to learn to pull up and now wants to do it on everything! Owen is still our little clown. He loves to laugh and make us laugh! He makes some of the funniest faces! He is really starting to "talk" non stop and wants all the attention! He has 2 teeth too!

Weight and Length: Somewhere around 18-19 pounds.

Eating: He nurses about 5 times a day, and usually has a few other snacks throughout the day too. He eats two meals of solids, breakfast and dinner and maybe a little snack in the middle.

Sleep: He sleeps the least. He sleeps from about 8 pm to 6:30 and is always the first one up in the morning. He takes 2 naps for about 1.5 hours each day and almost never takes any cat naps unless we are in the car for a while.

Clothes Sizes: He is in mostly 9 month size especially in pants.

Favorite Things: He loves bath time and splashing and he loves to be outside too. He wil crawl to the back door and bang on it to go in the backyard! He loves to move so the jumper and exersaucer are some of his favorites.

Least Favorite Things: He still hates diaper changes and the car seat but has gotten better. He also hates waiting!

Milestones: Crawling, and pulling up to stand!

Evelyn


She loves sticking out her tongue! Evelyn is such a sweet heart. She loves her daddy and being with her brothers. She is all girl! She doesn't like to be messy and is very particular about things but she knows just how to melt your heart! She also loves her cuddles. She has 2 teeth!

Weight and Length: Somewhere around 18-19 pounds.

Eating: She nurses about 5 times a day, and sometimes a few small snacks. She eats two meals of solids, breakfast and dinner and maybe a little snack in the middle.

Sleep: She is a pretty good sleeper. She usually sleeps from 8 pm to 7 am but might wake a little earlier. She naps for 1.5 to 2 hours twice a day and a little cat nap is hit or miss with her.

Clothes Sizes: She is in mostly 9 month size!

Favorite Things: She also loves bath time and being outside and she loves the swing! We got one for our back yard and will sit in in forever. She is starting to loves books and having us read to her.

Teeth!

This week both of the boys have gotten another tooth! Now they each have their two bottom teeth. Declan got one 4 days ago and then Owen cut his this morning. Or at least thats when we saw it. This time around it wasn't nearly as bad! They all have seemed a little off this week and we weren't sure if its the weather and if they were getting sick but im hoping it was just teeth! Although no sign of any more for Evie.

I've been trying all day to get some pictures of their new teeth with no luck, tey hate me fishing around their mouths!

Next weekend we are going to take the babies to the snow!! (That is as long as the weather is nice.) I can't wait and hopefully they get a bunch this week so that it is all fresh and covered :) Patrick will go snowboarding but I will just hang out at the house with the babies. Although we may bring them out to the lodge too, just depends how good they are!
