8 months old!

Well, my beautiful babies are 8 months old and they are changing and have changed so much!



Miss Avery Grace is our cutie, smiley, comedian. She tries to look at people and then make funny sounds to make them laugh. Her brother can't stop smiling and looking at her!! She must be telling him some pretty funny jokes. Avery is also crawling on her head (it's really a sight) and rolling around everywhere! Just recently I think she has learned the correlation between crying and Mommy and Daddy, so nightime and naptime have become BIG problems. As soon as we walk in the room, she gives a cute little smile. If we don't pick her up, the crying sets in! Her favorite food is sweet potatoes and she is really wanting to feed herself. She tries to grab the spoon. We are trying more adult food, and she dislikes the taste and texture but she always gives it a try. She is developing quite a personality and is often hearing the word "NO" to which she laughs and has a great ol' time to. Her favorite 'bad' habit is pulling hair and giving slobbery kisses!


Mr. Pete is our sweetie who loves to observe and really "scout" the world around him. He is always looking out the window, and loves the trees and watching them blow in the wind. He likes to pet the dogs, but doesn't want to get too close. His favorite pastime is bouncing in his Johnny Jumper and laughing while he is doing it. He goes to sleep so easily! You put him in the crib and he is out!! His favorite food is EVERYTHING . . .and he seems to love to eat it all. Sitting on the couch like a big boy seems to be a new favorite pastime while. His sitting posture is fantastic, I wish I could sit that straight. He is also standing by the couch like a pro and trying to walk along side of it. Once he starts laughing, there is no stopping him! His favorite thing to do, that is driving Mommy crazy, is to never want to sit down! He wants to stand up constantly and try to "walk" around.
