Twins: 8 Months

8 months today! Today was the most challenging photo shoot. Lillie is sitting up and got a hold of the sign and tried to eat it. Then Jack colored on it with yellow chalk so by the time it was Elliott's turn the sign was nasty. Elliott can't sit up yet so he is still laying back on the pillows or quickly falling forward. They are doing really well. They are sleeping 12 hours a night and taking two decent naps during the day. They eat food at every meal. So far Lillie is the better eater. She'll eat anything. Elliott will too but he makes lots of funny faces when he is trying something new. I'm still making all their food. It's something fun for me and Jack to do together while they take their morning naps. We usually have one big baby food making morning every 2 or 3 weeks.
These pictures are nothing fancy. I've only posted several extras because I thought they were funny. A little glimpse into our picture taking. Maybe next month Lillie and Elliott can go outside and sit at the park for their picture, we've had to use the bed as a prop each time. They are a little dark. I should have tried this earlier this morning, now it's cloudy outside. We don't have good lighting in our room unless it's sunny outside.

Lillie was laughing at Elliott in this picture


Lillie is showing off in this picture. She's sitting up and poor Elliott has to lay back
Ok, I'll give it a try... I'm not going to let her show me up!

They are so cute. They make me laugh. Can't believe they are 8 months old. You would never know by looking at them that they were born early. Thanks for posting because I sure do enjoy the pictures. Love, Donna

AH - our computer has had a virus or something so I haven't been able to get on in a while so I had some major catch up to do in reading your blog - thanks so much for the great posts. The bed time scenarios are giving me a heads up (which I appreciate!). . .and Jeff was raving about your kiddos and how much fun they were. Thanks for sharing life with us!

I love how you're posting so much...it's so much fun to see you guys and hear your stories! I, on the other hand, am horrible about posting and no one knows anything about us and our kids! Sad, isn't it?!? I'll get it together soon I hope!

Precious pictures. Just a little over two weeks and I will be able to love on those fat cheeks. You are doing good posting on the actual date. I know it doesn't seem this to you, but it is hard to believe they are eight months old. A year ago about now we were told that you were moving to NY. What a day. Love and Hugs to all. Great Gran
