It will never cease to be amazed with how quickly babies change.  Daily, I see two brand new little people right before my very eyes.  I don't have long to write, but I wanted to give you an update on what life is like for us now that Asher and Nolan are nearing 8 months old (just a week away...sniff...sniff)

Asher and Nolan are both very capable of crawling on their hands and knees, however, more often than not, they choose to use the "army crawl" technique as they find it much more efficent.  I love to watch them "rev up their engines" as they get on all fours and rock back and forth. It is very cute. 

They are eating three (very small) meals a day now.  Their diet consists homemade baby food (unless we're really in a hurry).  They eat sweet potatoes, apples, bananas, avocado, carrots, green beans, peas, pears, turkey, chicken, potatoes, squash, pumpkin and yogurt. 

Nolan has recently figured out how to use the spoon and usually insists that he feed himself! Noth of the boys are eating some finger foods now such as small pieces of banana, carrots and apple.  They are capable of pikcing up the food and putting it in their mouths, but I tend to cut it so tiny that it's nearly impossible for them to get a good grip on it.  :)

They are also taking BIG BOY BATHS.  No more baby tub...we just fill up the tub and sit them right in it.  Asher is still a little unsure of it, but doesn't seem to mind it too much.  Nolan flops around like a fish.  The first time we sat him down in the tub he decided he was going to get on his belly and "swim" around. 

They are really able to move around now.  They can both go from  a crawling to sitting position as well as a sitting to crawling position.  That means a new found freedom for them. They are also enjoy pulling things out of their toy basket or just tipping it over for fun...Pulling things off of the shelves is a favorite past time as well :)  Nolan has been pulling himself up on things, but not often.  We have installed a new gate to keep them out of the kitchen...otherwise I wouldn't have to feed them any dinner because they would just eat the dog food. 

Tye are also down to two naps a day...usually a total of two hours of sleep per day...if we're lucky. 

Still up for one early morning feeding per night.  Sleeping from about 7:30 to 4:00 then till 7:00. 

Oh yeah, they get to sit in the shopping cart and high chairs now!  They think they are big big stuff! 

I can't believe all that they can do.  That's all for now...Sorry this was so boring and factual...but that's all I've got time for at the moment.  Hope to be a bit more entertaining or at least insightful next time.  Take care!
