8 months old...how time flies!

Ari and Matthew will be 8 months old tomorrow - it's kind of sad to think my babies are getting so big so fast! They are doing so well and constantly doing so many new things!

They now spend 3 days a week with David's parents (Mummu and Papa) and they love it! Grizzley gives them kisses when they arrive and he even brings his toys to play with them. The kids chase him all day long and he thinks it is a game!

We celebrated their 1st Halloween on Saturday! We took them to 2 houses on our street and then piled in the car and surprised Mummu and Papa. They haven't had trick-or-treaters in 25 years - so when their doorbell rang they were a little nervous as they didn't have any candy to give out! But low and behold it was the little piggy and horse saying Trick or Treat - smell my feet!

We also went through our 1st daylight savings this weekend - luckily we were able to keep the kids up later - so they ended up sleeping later. Phew...

Arianna is still standing on her own - no steps yet - we're just waiting! She babbles away and bounces. She's our little monkey. It looks like she'll be getting 4 of her top teeth pretty soon - and last week she was teething really bad. The past few days she seems to be ok. She's getting so big and already has thighs of steel! She loves to laugh and we are just so blessed to have a happy girl!


Matthew is still crawling around like crazy - he loves to laugh and lately has been a little skiddish! He loves playing hide n seek and getting into LOTS of mischief! His latest is taking out all of the wine bottles in our wine cabinet in the kitchen. We now have chairs blocking all of the different doorways so they can't go from the living room to the kitchen (unless we are in there). They will just stand at the chair and scream at us and make noises. It's pretty funny! He still loves playing with the Wii remotes, wii games, and anything else he can get his little hands on! He hasn't cut any more teeth yet, but I think his front tooth may be coming soon. Matthew is still very tall and LOVES to eat!


I gave the kids a banana the other day to eat - but they decided to squish it in their hands instead - it made a mess, but they had fun...that's what counts...right?? Last night, I made chicken caccatorie - so I took the sauce, a few small pieces of the shredded chicken and made some alphabet pasta - i blended it all up and they WOOFED down and said...Mmmmmm with every bite! They still love peaches and bananas - but they eat every food - I'm very lucky!



Work is slowing down for me a bit now, so I'll hopefully be able to update more! Until next time...
