The boys are, coincidentally, 8 months old today. They are 36" long and weigh 30 lbs. Well, I might be rounding up or actually, making it up. Both boys passed out cold before a weigh-in and length-in could be completed. They look pretty long though. And they feel pretty heavy. So that'll have to do until I can get a good measurement tomorrow.
New fun twin activities.
Kevin is up on all fours and rocks back and forth. He does a wicked 180 and can even do a 360 degree turn at speeds of up to 1 mile per hour. He has made some movement forward, something like creeping. His new favorite thing is to look you dead in the eye, flash an adorable smile and then shake his head back and forth in a "no" manner. No teeth lately. But, he's putting the 2 he has to excellent use.
Jason is also aiming for forward movement. He's approaching it from a different angle however. He more or less scoots along pushing off things and rolling over his right arm. It's not creeping or crawling but it's movement. He's pretty quick at the 180 and 360 degree turns and is more than capable of stretching himself out to reach objects he wants. He continues to explore volume with his voice by squealing and shrieking. (This scares and annoys Kevin.)
Their heads are rounding out nicely.
Jason celebrated his big 8 mo by biting his brother. We were all surprised by this news as biting is more akin to toddler behavior. Kevin reacted much the way any of us would....he puddled up and cried. Poor Kevin. Jason was non-plussed. When I later asked him if he apologized to Kevin, he looked down and away. I took that to be a "no, I didn't" with a little "I'm not sorry" thrown in for good measure.
Tonight is bath night....so measurements and new photos will be forthcoming.
Don't forget to register and to vote.
Off with their heads, out with the old, and let's change boats in mid-stream.
Remember the Maine, the Alamo and to use coupons.
