These
monthly posts get later and later all the time!
The twins turn nine months in six days, and I am just now getting the
eight month update posted!
I’ll make
this post short and sweet. The biggest
update is that the boys went from barely being able to sit up at the beginning
of the month, to being mobile by the end of the month. It happened fast! We started the month off by surrounding the
boys with pillows while sitting to help soften their falls. By the end of the month, they no longer needed
pillows and were scooting their way all over a room. Aaron led the way with mobility, and Ethan soon
caught on and joined the fun! At the end
of the month, neither had mastered crawling, but they could definitely get around
by scooting on their bellies and butts.
We also
entered the cold weather season in the eighth month. With the cold weather came sickness. We battled both croup and sinus infections
this month. We also found ourselves
being cooped up inside now that it is cold outside. I really miss our daily walks outside! I don’t know how I’m going to stay sane this
winter. I definitely noticed that I run
more errands now that it is cold. I’m
always looking for an excuse to get all of us out of the house to help break up
our day.
In other
random news:
We began
cloth diapering this month when we are home, and it is going very well…..
The gap in
the babies’ size is also expanding, as Aaron loves to eat and Ethan practically
has to be forced to eat. At the end of
the month, Aaron was 19 lbs, and Ethan was 16 lbs 13 oz…..
Ethan had
five teeth by the end of the month, while Aaron still only has his bottom two
teeth…..
Both said
their first word this month, Dada. Aaron
was the first to say it, and Ethan soon followed.
By the end of the month, both babies could say Mama, baba, and Dada. I don’t think the babies can associate what
they are saying with anyone or anything yet, but they are saying words….
Here are a
few pictures from month eight…..
