8 months and counting!

The twins are 8 months old & I'm officially getting excited about their 1st birthday. I've started compiling some ideas on Pinterest for their party. I know lots of people are thinking, 'Just enjoy them now!', but I DO enjoy them now. Its just that they get more and more fun with each passing day! They are constantly discovering new and exciting things & that makes it more fun for me as well. Our latest accomplishment is......


CRAWLING!!!!!!!!!

Colt is officially on the move! He began rocking on his knees 2.5 weeks ago & has now moved on =) I can quickly see that I am about to have my hands even more full than they already are. But its a good thing! Clay hasnt started crawling yet, but I'm sure he will pick it up soon enough. He's being easy on me and letting me get used to one baby crawling at a time... ;)

Both boys are now sleeping 11-12 hours a night typically, which is amazing. Chris and I are able to put them down in the evenings and enjoy some alone time before we hit the sheets. When we do crawl into bed, it still feels like we just worked a gruling 12 hr shift, but thats because we did. Its all worth it though. Our boys are truly amazing. They bring us so much happiness & they are so dang cute. I swear they get cuter every day.

According to our pediatrician, they should be leaning towards 2 naps a day, so we've weaned them down from 5, to 4, and now my goal is always 3. Sometimes we make it, and sometimes they still get a 4th "power" nap to make it until bedtime. They stay awake about 2 hours at a time. Anything past that makes them prettttty cranky.


Here are some of their 8 month pictures:
