Happy 8 Months Jakob and Kaleb (REALLY?!)

Ok I know I say this everyone month but where is the time going?!?! It is flying by....I thought it was going too fast with just Gavin, add J&K and a week is gone in a blink of an eye. They are going to be ONE in 4 short months....that will be here before we know it!!! Oh but that also means NO MORE BOTTLES OR FORMULA!!!! WOO HOO!!!!

J&K are more entertaining every day and learning so fast! I love to watch them learn and how differently each one of them learns things, it is amazing!

Jakob is still the more inquisitive, gentle guy. I can give him a toy and he will hold onto for a while turning it over and over in his hands, feeling the different textures, eating it (of course) and patiently playing. He is a big wiggle worm though, although still scooting on tummy when he feels like being on his tummy...not often :-P
I feel like he is cutting all this bottom teeth at once, poor lil guy :-( and his top eye teeth are still right there but no break through...if I remember correctly from Gavin those take a long time to cut. But his bottom is all white and swollen, although this has not slowed down his eating! I swear the child has hollow limbs because I don't know where he puts it all!!! He has gained 2 pounds in the past 2 months putting him at 19lbs but he is much longer, anxious for their 9 month appt to see their stats. Thankfully it is getting warm because the length won't matter so much on his clothes, he is currently in between 9 and 12 months sizes =0

Kaleb is the little bull in a china shop. He throws toys, take toys from Jakob (who in turn scrunches up his face while it turns red and then starts screaming lol), occasionally he will hold onto something longer than a minute if he is chewing on it :-P Also loves to scoot on his tummy when he feels like but lately has started scooting around on his bum while sitting....he can get pretty far!!!
Kaleb has his 2 bottom teeth and is definitely working on some more, how many is the question....this round seems to be harder on him than the first two :-( When Kaleb's teeth hurt..he won't eat, period. lol He is still growing strong and has started wearing some 18 months clothes =0 My goodness!!!

They are both finding their voices and lots of babbling in our house, along with Gavin who does NOT stop talking! Neither are showing any interest in crawling or walking....no complaints here :-) Gavin wasn't crawling until close to 10 months and then started walking right before his 1st birthday, I am good with that. On one hand I am ready for them to be mobile because it will be easier for them to get around but on the other hand, it is going to be challenging watching all 3 in 3 different directions. Plus they aren't the most coordinated when they start walking, lots of falls and head bumps...Gavin was always falling and one trip to AI after almost completely biting through his tongue.
