8 Months

We have come a long way in the past 8 months, and I honestly have a hard time remembering how my life was before my sweet little love bugs came into the picture.  I will say this, life took on a whole new vibrancy to it when we had the girls.  They have changed everything in such good ways, and I am very grateful for that!  Before them, I was alone, all day, just me and the dogs...what in the world did I do all day?  Well, I worked.  Starbucks!!!  I did that, but not for very long, what did I do?!  I think what I am getting at is that there is reason to live!!  Holidays are so much more special when you have little ones.  I love them to the moon and back!!!  

Okay, enough sappy rambling, here's the low down.

6.4.11-Laramie got her 2nd tooth (Lower Left)
6.5.11-First night in seperate beds (best decision I have ever made!)
6.5.11- Rylie slept on her tummy for the 1st time
6.6.11- First time Rylie and Laramie have tried Chicken
6.8.11- Both girls STTN 8:30pm-5:30am
6.9.11- Rylie sat herself up from laying down for the 1st time
6.10.11- Laramie sat herself up from laying down for the 1st time
6.10.11- First trip to Panera Bread
6.10.11- First time being babysat by Great Grandpa &Elaine!!
6.14.11-Rylie really crawled for the 1st time
6.15.11- Laramie really crawled for thr 1st time!
6.20.11- 1st time eating stage 3 food!
6.24.11- 1st spleepover with Grandma & Grandpa Jones! (mommy too!)
6.24.11- 1st time being babysat by G & G Jones
6.30.11- Laramie said "mama"
7.3.11- 1st time celebrating Great Grandma Berta's birthday!

Thats a rundown of what happened in Rylie & Laramie's 7th month of life.  I think this is how I will do it from now on, I like knowing the specifics!  I am so in love with these little bugs, and yes I call them my little bugs (thanks to Miss Spider) and if you dont know what that is, turn in Nick Jr!  Anyway!!  The girls are little speed deamons!  Seriously, its crazy.  I have had to do some intense baby proofing of my moms house.  They LOVE spilling the dog water, at least, until it gets them all wet and cold.  If you run up behind them and say "momma's gunna gat you!!"  they scurry off as quick as they can.  SO CUTE! 

They are both trying to stand....They will walk if you hold onto their hands, they stand up all by themselves (well, with the use of ________ <--insert furniture or other object here) I am so freaked out that they are going to fall and hit their heads hard!!  But I am a very paranoid momma, so I guess it comes with the territory.  

Rylie is soo sneaky, and when she gets caught, she gives you this little grin that says {im bad, but im cute!}

Laramie is Just the sweetest little babbling baby ever, she seriously talks all the waking hours of the day, and I love it!!

The girls apparently hit the switch from "Scream through bath time" to "We love bath time!"  I now can bathe them together, in the bathtub as opposed to separately in the sink.  I had to do that because they both screamed bloody murder while I bathed them, so I had to do it separately, where they wouldn't drown.  Now, they will sit and play with their toys for a good 20 minutes before the water gets cold. 

I guess thats about it, except for a photo bomb and an 8 month photo, which will be MUCH harder to capture than the previous 7

Happy 4th Of July!!!

Last year on the fourth of July, was the first time Nick was able to feel the girls.  We went to see the fireworks on Post, and they were AMAZING.  BUT  the girls werent too fond, they were freaking out with every boom we were super close to the fireworks.  4th of July means more now that were a "Military Family"  it makes me feelso proud, almost to the point of tears.  Im so proud of my soldier (love you SPC Jones!!)  

Anyway, the girls are  8 MONTHS OLD!!!!!!!!  W. H. A. T.?!  Apost on that to follow, so to all of you Americans out there
