Our 8th Month

The babies have a pretty fast army crawl now. They crawl so much that their skin gets rugburned even through clothing! They are also sitting up unassisted & playing together(so sweet!), and they are just starting to pull up on their crib railings. We are also teething BAD now, all 3 have the bottom 2 teeth about to pop through! Luckily the boys are still napping & sleeping through the night even with teething pain. One happy mama over here. =) These babies just love playing with each other. There's just something so magical about seeing 3 of your children the same age playing with and giggling at each other when they're just 8 months old. The boys have jumping wars now too. When I put them all in jumpers they go crazy, it looks like they're in fast forward when they have jumping wars! It's also quite funny that they always hit milestones within days of each other since they were born, and that trend started in the NICU.Aiden, my lil guy, you amaze me with your looks of excitement & curiosity at everything you see. He is still our smallest even if only by a few ounces. He's also our slowest crawler, but our best sitter. I think he's scared of falling so he'll sit there until I lay him down, well... that is if one of his brothers don't accidentally knock him down first.

Brandon, my little buddy, your sweet innocence just melts my heart. He crawls after me everywhere I go! He's also the first and currently the only that says "mama" all the time. I can already tell I'm gonna have another mama's boy on my hands!

Christian, my smiley guy, you brighten each day with your sweet face. Let me tell you, this kid can move! He has rugburn & eczema on his arms, belly & knees from crawling ALL DAY LONG! Who would've thought my tiniest(by 1oz) baby @3lbs 11oz just 8 short months later would be our biggest(by a few oz's)@ about 17 3/4lbs.

These babies amaze me each day.The touching things they do, how they interact with each other and big bro & sis. The bond they share is wondrous & heartwarming. I love to walk in to the room and see 2 of them holding hands. <3 Or when Jordan & Brandon were playing through the crib this morning. The best was when I walked in & saw Jordan riding Christian like a horse! They were both laughing. I think it's sweet how Haley studies her brothers so she can tell them apart better than Daddy. My favorite part of today was Jordan, Haley & myself having a tickle fight... I WON! lol! Then shortly after I layed on the floor & became a playground for the babies. They just love to be able to look down & see mommy. I feel so lucky to have 5 pERfEct kids, and by that, I mean perfect for me. =)
