I think I've figured how to post pictures again! That is what happens when you don't blog very often...I had to call my sister and have her remind me how.
Abbey and Bennett are now 8 months old and have turned into 2 busy bodies! They are constantly on the move-rolling, scooting, and army crawling (they haven't figured out the real crawl yet. They get up on their hands and knees, rock back and forth...but just can't seem to figure out how to make themselves go anywhere in that position).
Bennett loves to "wrestle" Abbey. He will climb right on top of her and it looks like he is "pinning" her. She doesn't seem to pay much attention and continues playing with whatever toy has her attention at the present moment.
I like to have "races" with them and put their favorite toy a few feet in front of them and then see who can get to it first. Our other favorite "game" to play with them is one we discovered at church last week when they did not want to sit in our laps. We gave them each a binki and faced them towards each other. Then it was a game of binki swap and grab. Each of them trying to get the other's binki...and back and forth...for about 10 minutes. We were cracking up! Although, I'm not sure this is teaching them the best concept of sharing :).
They love to see each other first thing in the morning or after a nap. It is so sweet to see them engaging with each other and the recognition.
Bennett has become quite the chatterbox over the past 2 weeks. Abbey has always been very expressive and Bennett has been more quiet. It seems like he has stored up a lot of things to say because lately he "talks" quite a bit. Everything seems to be called something with the sound "da" in it.
My friend, Hannah, watches them occassionally when I'm at work. Today when I went to pick them up she gave me a cd of pictures she took. They are SOOOO cute!!! She is so talented and I'm thankful for the pictures!!
