Wow, its been over a month since I last posted...that may be the longest I have gone in years! Sorry, we were in Utah for three weeks and then since I've been back it has literally been the busiest two weeks of my life! Also, our iMac is completely full......I take way too many pictures :) So I haven't had any way to upload all my Utah pics (and there are A LOT) to my Mac. I finally decided to take over Rick's laptop until we can figure out a solution :)
So here is the plan, today I am posting about the babies because they turned 8 months a week ago. Then, I will have many, many, MANY Utah posts to come :) Also, Daci started preschool, so I have some fun posts about that too. Phew! Here we go.....
Street had a lot of firsts this month. Liv kinda did all of her firsts between her six and seven month milestones but Street was a little slower ;) One first that I am SUPER happy about is that now that he is crawling and pulling to stand he is MUCH happier! Instead of crying 50-75% of the time, I would say we are at about 25-35% of the time. MUCH better! I think the reason he is so much quieter is because he can crawl to me when he wants to be held, which is still pretty much 100% of the time :) So even though he cries less, he is still just as needy. But I absolutely LOVE this little man and his cute smile and two teeth and giggles. He makes me so happy :)

1st Tooth: Aug 20 |
|
Pulled himself up on his knees on Aug 21. Was terrified because he didn't know how to get down, so he just started screaming about 5 seconds after he got up there :) |
|
1st army crawl: August 22nd |
|
Pulled to stand for the first time after we got back from Utah on Sept. 12 |
|
Liv was really happy about this accomplishment :) |
|
2nd Tooth: Sept 12. Another thing to note from this: Now that he can pull up, he crawls over to me while I am pumping, pulls up and screams for me to pick him up. Which I cant, so he screams for fifteen straight minutes. On my knee. It is wonderful. |
|
Now that he can crawl and stand, he follows me into the kitchen, pulls up to my leg, and stands there while I do dishes. Pretty cute, and pretty annoying :) |
|
First time trying stairs AND first time doing something BEFORE Livvi! September 15th. |
|
He really HATES avocados :) But, this is pretty much the only thing he doesn't like. Loves bananas, peaches, pears, applesauce, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, squash. |
|
And this is what he looks like when he is super happy :) |
Livvi Lou has become really difficult to keep track of. Good thing she is such an angel because she is so fast and so free spirited and I can't keep up with her! She is SO fast, is into EVERYTHING, she puts EVERYTHING in her mouth and she wants to do EVERYTHING by herself :) She will be into something she isn't supposed to be, I will pick her up, move her, and two seconds later she has beat me back to the spot that I am walking to. Seriously this girl is crazy sauce :)
|
She is almost always smiling |
|
She started giving kisses on August 17. So cute. The second Rick walks in the door from work and picks her up she plants one on him. Melts my heart. |
|
2nd Tooth came August 13, right after Street got his first |
|
She doesn't just pull to stand anymore. She is so comfortable and balanced that she will let go and then once she realizes she isn't holding on she will plop down. |
|
She also loves to follow me into the kitchen and stand at my leg when I am cooking or doing dishes |
|
This girl always has something in her mouth. Its okay when its big things like this, but I have also found tiny things in her mouth. I seriously don't know how she finds them. I vacuum at least once a day! |
|
She figured out how to wave! SO cute! Started that on Sept 19 |
|
She makes me absolutely CRAZY when I am feeding them. She flips herself around and then stands up in her seat. I get so mad at her! |
|
I always say, "Livvi, NO!" in a very stern voice and she always cracks up at me. Thinks it is SO funny that she is in trouble! |
|
Her new favorite obsession, the door stop. She flicks it non stop and it is SO loud. |
|
Daci really hates it when she does it, she sits by her with her ears plugged and tries to yell "Livvi, No!" over the noise :) |
|
She loves this kitchen at Carly's house. Its so funny, its like she really knows what she is doing! |
|
I'm surprised she hasn't tried the stairs sooner than today. She really is so curious about everything and likes to test everything out. Its like she JUST realized they were there and now I can't keep her off. I am going crazy! |
|
She is SO tubby :) Her little gut just hangs over her pants. She is in 18 month clothes! What!? She looks so big next to her petite little bro :) |
|
This is what she looks like when she is really happy, crinkled nose and all. Love it! ALthough I was pretty frustrated at this moment because I was trying to get a pic and she REFUSES to sit still for them anymore :) |
The Twins:
These two are SO much fun. Love them to pieces! Its been fun to see them interact a lot more and play together now that Street can kind of keep up with Liv :) Photo shoots are kind of a joke now. They won't stay put and the only way I get them to is if I am distracting them with some goofy waving of my arms, etc so when they are looking they look a little mesmerized :)
|
8 Months old! |
|
Street is always grabbing at Liv's headbands, Liv still doesn't pull them off herself. Hopefully I didn't just jinx myself :) |
|
Its like they are mocking me for trying to attempt to get them to both sit still and look at the camera and smile all at the same time :) |
|
Now that they can both stand in their cribs they are so cute. After naps they stand together and talk and hold hands for quite a while. Its nice because I don't have to go get them right away, but the bad part is when they do it before naps and won't go to sleep. Grr. |
