8 Months

Dear Babies,

You are 8 months old (you are technically 8 months old tomorrow but mama will be super busy so no internet action at all)! How the heck did this happen? I swear I was just wondering if you little aliens were ever going to come out and now you are here and only FOUR months from being one YEAR old. A year. 365 days. Crazy.

Oshy - You are wearing 12 month clothes because you are so tall! You have one little toothy that is sharp as *beep* You smile all the time. Literally, anything makes you smile and I know you are going to get yourself out of a lot of trouble with that killer grin. Although you have mostly been passive, you have just started tackling your sister down and getting your toys back. You can also pull yourself up and stand with help. Everyone comments on your extreme cuteness and precious smile.

Peanut - You are wearing 9 month clothes. You are steadily climbing in the growth charts and you have long legs and a round belly. You have been voted "Most Likely To Receive The First Spankin'" because you are so crazy. You fake cough which is just hilarious and I have no idea how you figured that out. You are pretty stingy with the smiles, except when Mommy and Daddy come home from work. You steal toys from Oshy a lot, you pull Mommy's hair a lot and you even pulled Santa's beard the other day which is why you will probably get a lump of coal for Christmas. You have mastered the art of kissing and I love it!

You both now throw tantrums. You don't just cry because you need something, you also cry because you are pissed.

You both love to eat. We had to buy Mum Mum biscuits for you because you made us feel so guilty for eating food in front of you. You would rather eat solids than anything else.

You both love baths big time. You splash and play and suck on ducks and washcloths.

You go to bed around 8:30 and Oshy usually gets up sometime in the night. You both wake up between 7:00 and 7:30 a.m. every morning.

I can't believe you are growing up so fast!

Mommy loves you big ones!!!
