Tyler at 8 months

Tyler is a good independent sitter but he doesn't stay in the position long because he always wants to get on his tummy so he spin around and get into things.

Tyler is my big boy! He loves to eat eat eat! About the only thing that he doesn't like so far are peaches - he makes the funniest faces but still eats it. He actually gets upset when he sees me eating if he is hungry and wants some. Tyler is learning to hold his own bottle and does so when it is close to empty and not as heavy. I introduced them to sippy cups this past month and let me just say Tyler is not a fan of water. He only had a little bit with my help. He now weighs 18 pounds 8.4 ounces.

Tyler is not a very good napper these days. I don't know if he has just gotten into the habit of taking catnaps or if it is because he is teething. On Saturday, his first tooth broke through.

He loves to babble and talk and his newest obsession is using his hand to make echoing noises with his mouth.

Whitney at 8 months

Whitney has recently become my master sitter. She can sit independently for the longest without falling down. Whitney hasn't started getting up on all fours yet, but she loves to roll over.

Whitney loves to eat solids but doesn't like peaches or bananas. She also currently doesn't like to take her bottles half the time. If she doesn't take her bottle, a lot of times we end up making her cereal out of her bottle so she will still get the calories somehow. Whitney is also learning to hold her own bottle and practices when her bottle is almost empty. She is also learning the sippy cup - she mainly likes to chew on the spout but she doesn't mind the taste of water. She currently weighs 14 pounds 9.9 ounces.

Whitney slobbers everywhere but has no teeth popping through yet.

Whitney is a very happy baby and full of smiles all the time, but for some reason, she will not laugh. I have only heard her make a very very quiet laughing sound a handful of times.

Hannah at 8 months

Hannah is our little experimenter. She loves to try new things like sitting up and getting up on her hands and knees in the crawling position. She is so close to crawling - I am just anxiously waiting for that day to come. She also loves to experiment with her voice. She is babbling and talking so much and learning how to make different sounds.

Hannah is so busy playing these days, she does not want to take time to eat or sleep. She is however, getting better at eating solids, but just like the other two, she doesn't care for peaches or bananas. She does not hold her bottle - has no desire to. She also still struggles with reflux. She doesn't mind water too much and just mainly chews on the rubbery/silicone spout of the sippy cup. She used to be my best napper, but she is not so much anymore. She weighs 14 pounds 8.1 ounces. No teeth yet.

She is still by far my most laid back and easy going baby. If she doesn't get to sleep on time, she doesn't care; if she doesn't eat on time, she doesn't care. Also, Hannah will no longer take her paci, which is fine by me. Its all about the two middle fingers of the left hand.

Poor Hannah keeps getting picked on. Everybody kept pulling her bow off.

Tyler's first tooth!

Guess what Mommy found in the little dude's mouth this afternoon???? That is right...Tyler has his first tooth, it is on the lower right. My little boy is growing up. :( j/k We are very excited about his tooth - it is so cute. Let the fun begin!
