8 MONTHS

Well as you can see by the adorable little age counter thing, the girls turned 8 months old this past week. They are officially 2/3 of a year old. Now they have been outside in the big world for as long as they were inside (or close---the whole 40 weeks/9 months thing is tricky).

After church...our 5th...still looking.

Not a lot of new stuff, but I will try to come up with something so I can use some of the million pictures that I have taken...though they might not have anything to do with the content of the post:

Audrey is always looking for a pacifier around Brooke!

1. Brooke is officially a roller (talk about a huge relief!) The girls are just not motion oriented, but Brooke has finally become a roller...though she spends only the briefest of moments actually on her tummy. It is cute to find her in different places. Of course now we have to work on getting into a sitting position all by herself. Audrey does not roll to her tummy yet, but does seem to be working on a crawl type thing when she is on her belly. She prefers to sit and crouch over to reach things. My mom was here this past weekend and apparently I did not crawl until 10 months and my sister didn't crawl until 12 months! So the girls seem to be following in our laid-back approach to moving!

Just cute!!

2. Brooke now has 5 teeth. Her third tooth on top has started poking through. Thanks heavens cause it seems to have been hurting her lots and all she wants is her ma ma (which she says as she looks up to me and lift her little arms...adorable!....of course she also says ma ma to lots of other things as well, but whatever it still counts!)

A foretaste of things to come as the girls battle for the remote!

3. We used a gift card from their birth to buy them an adorable little chair.

How cute is the little chair...and the little girls of course!!

4. Audrey has decided that she likes to shake her head no at everything...all the while smiling an enormous smile.

Audrey just being cute!

5. They ate banana puffs for the first time!! Audrey absolutely hates them and refuses to put them in her mouth and makes a horrible face when I put them in. Brooke has really enjoyed them...so funny to watch her chase it around her tray and then try to get it from her hand into her mouth where she chews them really well...then she seems to hate to actually feel the swallowing of the chunkier stuff, but then wants another!

Eating Puffs for the first time!!
